FENTANYL KILLS: Cedric Cannon's Story

A sister shares her story of losing her 47-year-old brother to fentanyl poisoning in this warning about the dangers of illicit fentanyl.

Naloxone, the active ingredient in 4mg Narcan and higher dose 8mg Kloxxado, along with many generic versions, can reverse an opioid overdose if administered quickly enough. Some areas have Naloxone available for free. Google it.

I knew ced since we were kids. I haven’t seen him in years as I was in prison. I seen him once since I was out and didn’t realize he was on any drugs. I didn’t know until I heard he passed. Sorry for your families loss. I don’t know anyone who would have anything bad to say about ced, he was truly a good man as long as I known him.

I think her greatest point here is addicts are someone beside their addiction. There is a problem indeed, but there is also so much more to them.

Im a recovering addict from oxys to heroin to fentanyl. I wanted to die to safe my family from the heartaches but i wanted to live for my children because i knew i needed to be sober if they struggled. So here i am 3 years sober fighting to educate my children to save them. I love your message. Its not easy but i live in gratitude

I haven't talked to my brother in 5 years. He's in Texas, we are in Boston. I've given up hope, but I pray for him daily 🙏🙏🙏🙏

My sister was 25 years old when she took one fentanyl pill in jail with five other girls, and they all died in 2015.
These new drugs have dangerous chemicals in them.
Sorry for your loss 😢

I'm sorry Cedric passed. My brother died of herion and my sister died of zanax. My other sister died in a car accident and my husband died from multiple drugs. I wish the good days were back to see them all again. Blessings to you!

Dear sister, you've painted a picture of Cedric being a wonderful and loved person, and it has touched me. I'm very sorry for loss, and hope you will eventually find some peace.

Even through his own struggles, he reached out to help others! What a beautiful soul 🙏🏻

[MrsBryant]

He wasn't alone when he died sweetie.. God had him in the palm of his hand the entire time. I'm so sorry for your loss 😢 he seemed like such a great person.

Wow I am a recovering addict I had 5 knee surgeries since 2017 and like his sister said you could never know if I didn’t tell you because I don’t look like one. I got addicted to the pain meds after having multiple surgeries. I have been clean for 1 year 8 months and 3 days and it’s a struggle and I know he was tired but he is in a better place and addiction is real and it sounds like he wanted help he was crying out just didn’t get it in time..RIH Cedric my brother in Christ 😇🙏🏽🙏🏽 good job and kuddos to his sister for bringing his story to light and I pray this helps someone before it’s too late to ❤

The pain in this woman’s voice and her heartfelt story just enrage me. 100k dead and nothing is being done. God bless you, your brother and family.

Even though he was struggling he still had such a good heart, that is so rare. I'm so sorry.

I show every episode to my 3 teenagers. Education and awareness is key!

Thanks for sharing Cedric's story to the world. You know Ced loved helping people, so if his story can help just one person, that's what he would've wanted. He's truly missed..I love you Ced !! I miss you dearly. I think of you daily.

All I can say is thank you for sharing this story I needed this. My mom recently started doing 24 hour care for her father in law and I noticed some changes to my mom. It started with night time cold meds all day then Tylenol pm then cigs then weed then mushrooms then oxy and I’m afraid of what’s next. My mom thinks she doing a good job hiding this but because I’m so close to my mom I see what she thinks she’s hiding. I went to my dad and told him I feel the 24 hour care plus 5 kids is too much but all he say is she’s being extra or she being dramatic I’m not putting my father in a home she’ll be alright. I’m not sure why this video came across but I needed to hear this. I’m going to sit my mom down and really have a deep conversation I want to tell her I’m here And she no longer has to feel alone and how much myself and my siblings love and need her and we going to get her help and support her fully even if it means removing her out of that house. Caretaking is hard especially when the person can’t do anything on they own so please check on caregivers because they are busy caring for other people completely forgetting themselves. Before my father forced her to care for his father my mom wasn’t taking anything, smoking anything she was more of a natural herbs type. I’m so sorry for your loss 🙏🏽

Just loss my nephew to this....in July. We're all devastated by this. 😢

[millenniumtowerskelton]

Ma’am I am so sorry you lost your brother to addiction. I lost my sister to alcoholism. She just turned 52 when she passed in front of her teenage kids. We tried everything.. Cedric and Melissa are at peace. But, are we? ❤️

[delandhoodnews]

Very touching. I knew ced and his family all my life. Everything his sister shared is 100% correct & More. He was so knowledgeable. I always said “boy you better keep that lid on that cannon “ when speaking. He’ll forever be missed. 🙏🏿🙏🏿🕊🕊🕊
