FENTANYL KILLS: Kooper Campiti's Story

A mother, father, and daughter share their story of losing their 18-year-old loved one to illegally manufactured fentanyl. Illicit fentanyl is a dangerous, life-threatening drug frequently found in other illicit drugs and results in the death of 200 people per day in the US. This is just one of those stories and delivers an urgent warning to avoid all illicit drugs.

Im the other brother talked about in the video. Kooper was defiantly one of a kind. He would drop anything he was doing to lend a helping hand. One time my phone died and I was stranded. Koopers phone number was one of the only ones I had memorized so I gave him a call from a gas station phone. He was at that gas station in 10 minutes to pick me up. Just the kind of person he was. His death was and is the hardest thing me and my family has ever dealt with. Its still hard not to tear up when I think about him. He's a bright light in a dark world. Im currently deployed so I couldnt be there for the making of this video, but thank you to texas pictures for making this! Very well put together. May his memory and story live forever!

Addiction is a lifelong battle. It's a matter of "im not gonna use today" (every day) rather than "im never gonna use again". Congratulations on making it this far. People who don't understand the struggle will say things like "Well duh, drugs are bad. Nobody should be praised for not doing drugs". But our brains are wired differently, and the reality is that it's just as hard for us to resist our substance of choice as it is for regular people to resist food. Our brains literally think that we need the drug to survive. So every day we stay clean should be celebrated, no matter what an ignorant person says. If you're not involved with an NA support group, please join one. They understand what you're going through. And even if you have a slip-up, they don't care. You don't have to say "im clean for X amount of days", you can literally just say "I'm clean today" and that's perfectly acceptable.

[@rogal6661]

Very sad. I'm a fentanyl addict of a little over two years. Its very hard to quit. Plus It's absurdly cheap to buy for the strength it carries. As little as $2 a pill around where I live. Sometimes I have thoughts of wanting to give up on life but I know that's not the answer. This video gives me a reminder of the destruction that it could cause. Granted, I probably like a lot of addicts, don't think anybody would care if i died. The main thing that has me hold on is my dog, i wouldn't want to just disappear from his life as i know he'd miss me tremendously. Hopefully one day I will find my way out of this vicious cycle.

[@mael2039]

I cant tell you, everyone who is working on these and participating in the interviews, how important this video series is. Not just because it's important that we know about fentanyl, about the dangers, the warning signs, etc. But also because every single person in these videos deserves their lives to be honoured, their story told. These videos do an amazing job at showing that. We hear about who these people were, their childhoods, their lives, how loved they were. Sadly we know how many times people with substance abuse disorder aren't always seen as valuable or important anymore. I really feel like your series helps with that. And I think that is just as important as making people aware of the dangers.

My son lost his best friend at 20 to this epidemic. And his dad the same year. Drugs are a scourge. Then he lost another friend...and another..and another. This weekend, we are going to another funeral- another best friend he grew up with. This is in a small farming community. I almost lost him as well. It was a razors edge situation. I quit my job to be his fulltime, glued on bodyguard. I had reached the end of the rope with losses. He finally hit bottom & got it. He has been clean for over 6 years now. But he is living for so many others in his circle now, who are no longer with us.🙏🏼

[@TexasPictures]

Thank you for sharing.

[@tonyaray6498]

Your story is very much like mine, especially when you talk about how smart your son was. How your son was smoking pot and he was telling you about how it was legal in different places around you, my kids said that same thing to me multiple times when I would come home from work and smell it in the house. I finally told them both they were not to use it in the house and I didn't want to know about it. If I had only known...I lost Andy January 16th of 2020 and I had no idea he was using anything, I had noticed something was off with him here and there, but he was so smart, he had a genius IQ and I didn't think he would be doing anything that could harm him. He took what he thought was a pain pill that obviously was not, Andy was 29.5 years old when he passed away, he was living with me and his brother Adam who found him that day when he got home from school. Adam was very similar to Andy, he also had a genius IQ, he was devastated by the loss of Andy. We both had a very difficult time dealing with it. Adam overdosed 3 times in the 6 months leading up to his death. He knew what he was doing, he had been self hurt himself for a long while before he passed away, cutting his arms, legs and torso to the point of mutilation. He barely had a spot on his body that he hadn't cut, it was awful. He promised me he would never do anything again to hurt himself the hours before he passed away. I found him slumped over on the floor in his room with his face in a pool of vomit and blood, he was blue and frozen. He was my baby boy, my everything and my purpose to keep going every single day since January 16th when Andy passed away. Adam was 17 when he passed away May 21st, 2023. I can't close my eyes without seeing him that day, I never in a million years thought I would lose one child, but now I have lost two 💔 😢. God, I want to be with them now. It doesn't seem to get any better than it is. Their dad passed away October 18th 2023 from the same damn thing. We were divorced and did not live together, but we had become friends after the loss of Andy, but the loss of Adam was more than he could handle, and he decided to join them. I am now here alone, no family living at all...I am so very sorry for your loss of your son! You are so right when you say it doesn't discriminate, this is a chemical warfare of massive power that is going to take an entire generation if we can't find a way to stop it. Bless you both and your family!!!😢

[@5campitis]

I’m so sorry. Thank you for sharing. I hate the fact we are part of this terrible club. God bless

[@tonyaray6498]

I too wish anything in the world would be other than this. I feel it is a weapon of mass destruction being used in our country to eliminate the entire future. It's in everything, pot, Adhd medication, xanax, pain pills, whatever you can think of. The hospital dismissed him as if he sprained his toe. They didn't have anyone come in to talk to him, me, nothing, and he was taken to the same hospital 4 times in 5 months for overdose. The last time we went, I asked to speak to the doctor when he was being released after 45 minutes in the emergency room, the doctor came in, handed me a bag with two hypodermic needles and two vials of narcan, saying that I need to keep it close to me since Adam was overdosing so often, then told him that he wouldn't always be so lucky to live. That was it! Well he was right because exactly 29 days later he was gone. Never had to use the narcan. He did it all the last time, knowing what he was doing and what the end result would be. I watch the stories of others who have lost their child, I made Adam watch the videos as well, I told him if he ever wanted to use it again, get enough to take me with him because I honestly can't survive without him. Now here I am all alone with both of them gone. Parents are not supposed to be here when their children pass away, it's not the natural order of life. Prayers for you and everyone else who is in our shoes, unfortunately we are only 1, or 2 of thousands upon thousands of parents who lost their child to the same damn thing ...

I greatly admire your strength and courage picking up the pieces and trying to educate the rest of us on this terrible epidemic. Yes Kooper never intended for this to happen but you are marching on sharing his story and hopefully saving lives. Blessings to your entire family. ❤️

My daughter was addicted to drugs and had 18 suicide attempts. It was really hard. I cried for years.

[@KyongG1970]

So Heartbreaking. mom and dad, do not blame yourselves. Our kids in our eyes can do no wrong. And our kids are too good at hiding what they don’t want us to see.

[@jessicabonilla5060]

Ever since my friend lost her son to Fentanyl, I’ve watched many many videos about this drug. Prior to this one was ignorant about this epidemic. I have three boys and I can’t imagine what these parents are going through. Breaks my heart 💔

[@steinervision7643]

[@magnus1001]

What a beautiful, loving family. I am so sorry for your loss.

[@mariclaretpatton9412]

Mom and Dad, be kind to yourselves. Forgive yourselves for loving hard. Keep telling his story, your story. This shit sucks and the devastation to this family is beyond comprehension.No sibling, parent, cousin, or human should have to do this. Kooper loved you guys. Kooper lived. Kooper loved.

My two brothers died from an overdose....26 and 30 years old...i think of them both often. ❤

It's infuriating and heartbreaking that society seems to turn a blind eye to the daily tragedy unfolding at our doorsteps. Every day, hundreds fall victim to fentanyl, a deadly crisis exacerbated by its unchecked flow across our borders.

[@stevemorris6790]

Don’t blame the border, it’s a cheap shot because big dealers don’t need the border to bring drugs like tunels, boats , airplanes, trucks etc. and besides if we didn’t have America hunger for drugs, anything like that wouldn’t happen. USA consumes more drugs than any other country!

[@TexasPictures]

Illicit fentanyl is also manufactured in the US.

[@kathybailey436]

They're turning a blind eye to anything the media doesn't want us to believe or want us to ignore.

[@Ablank2011]

When my son was in 8th grade we went to his high school’s open house and a counselor spoke to us and suggested we randomly drug test our kids…including for nicotine. She told us to start when they were still innocent enough to look at us like we’re crazy for even thinking they’d do drugs. She told us it could deter them and, probably more importantly, it gives the kids a reason to say no to offers and still look cool because their reason is because their parents drug test them. I did it all four years and he was always negative, but I’m very glad I did. Doesn’t matter how amazing your kids is…it happens to the best of them. Prayers for all the parents going through this senseless loss. Testing kits are on Amazon. 🙏

[@deniseroddy4298]

April 21st is my birthday also. I am so sorry for your loss

[@TexasPictures]

It is also the anniversary of Texas Pictures

[@bacaworld7095]

My brother od’d on the day before my birthday- we found out on my birthday. He died 6 months and one day after his older brother, they died of the same thing, in the same room. Funerals were 6 months and one day apart. Needless to say last year was rough for our family. 💔 Fentanyl is EVIL 😢

[@yvonnedeboer7535]

💔💔💔 Take care of yourself and your family!!

[@angelapursley2811]

[@lucaamari5794]

I’m so sorry for your loss. He shouldn’t still be here 💔 The government needs to do something about this. These people selling it knowingly need to be in prison

[@DarkEnergyHealer]

Maybe the government is the cause of this drugs epidemic? Big pharma, money and corruption would be the cause...

[@drintx5734]

The government is ALLOWING it and are complicit!

[@shontee-v]

Her birthday will never be the same ever! She needs all of our thoughts and prayers! Sorry about your loss mom!🥹

[@elisavalero9604]

Campiti Family. I am very sorry to hear of your son's death. The way they describe it, it's a huge loss for his parents, siblings, the rest of the family, friends (the real ones) but, above all, it's a loss for himself, because he had a bright future ahead of him. The fact of being a policeman and being prepared to see or seek or know, implies, in a way, that, when we get home, we "hang up" our uniform and be parents, not policemen. Not because I don't want to see or seek or know, because at home we want to be parents and leave behind these things that can end up seeing, unfortunately, almost as something routine. They want to be parents, without their children feeling like they have the cop at home, controlling their every move. And that's the way it is. It is ok. We can be cops and parents. But the truth is that at home, so that they don't feel "watched or controlled" we relax. And as they've rightly said, fentanyl doesn't discriminate. He kills wherever he goes. I accompany you in your sentiments.

[@wendywozniak6360]

What a beautiful family. I'm so sorry for your loss. Wish I could give mom a huge hug! So heartbreaking.😢
