Quincie

Quincie loved hunting and riding his motorcycle; loved his children, family and friends; and was a really good cook. But he also put his family through 10 years of heartache and pain as his addiction grew from marijuana to heroin. He passed away at the age of 31 from an accidental overdose while living in a halfway house. His mother, Jennifer, is coping with her son's death through activism. She posts regularly about addiction on Facebook and her Twitter account (@_jennystarfish_) and was recently featured in an article on MEDPAGE TODAY entitled "Many Residential addiction Tx Centers Don't Offer MAT, at a Deadly Cost" https://www.medpagetoday.com/special-reports/exclusives/88870?trw=no. She speaks about addiction to help others and as reparations to her son since she did not fully understand the disease of addiction.
