My son Avery passed away March 22, 2019 at the age of 30 years old. He was a sweet, gentle, young man with a big heart.

He became addicted to OxyContin after he was injured at work. He struggled for many years to become clean.

Avery left behind a 4-year old daughter who misses him beyond words.

I miss hearing my son’s voice, his beautiful smile, and his generous soul. My son was the love of my life. His whole family misses him. My children are all the love of my life. My life is forever changed and will never be whole again after losing one of the pieces to the puzzle.
