Family members and friends of fentanyl victims spoke up. The tale of Andy Burris’s son Cruz was recounted by Cruz4Life founder, Andy Burris.
“Our precious Cruz left us when he was just fifteen years old,” he stated.
“He had just started high school as a freshman.”
Cruz bought what he believed to be Percocet from a person he had connected with on the Snapchat social media platform. The fentanyl in the tablet was the fatal ingredient that Cruz consumed.

After a short while, Andy noticed that the synthetic substance affected more than just him.
“I had the impression that no one else existed. For a moment, we believed we were alone. The number of persons across this country, however, turns out to be in the thousands,” he explained.
The large number of Leavenworth residents impacted was highlighted at Saturday’s event.
Burris argues that parents should monitor their kids’ social media activity.
The lethal dose of fentanyl is in these illegal narcotics. I hate to be the one to say it, but it will happen, he assured me.

He said that fentanyl is commonly found in pharmaceuticals and substances in disguise.
“They have no clue that the medicine they are taking has the potential to end their lives.”
Burris urged all attendees to speak out against drug usage as the demonstration transformed into a march into downtown Leavenworth.
Something needs to be spoken, and you need to speak up. Tell an adult, like a teacher or a parent,” Burris said.
Inform your parents. If you open your mouth, you might be able to save the life of your friend.
