Steve Spencer Jr.
Steve was my husband. We had been together for 17 years when he relapsed... Steve and I were both addicts lost in addiction. We both got clean after I had an OD in 2016 and because of it, lost our kids to the state. In June of 2021, Steve relapsed after being 5 years clean, and I didn't. I didn't even know he was back to using until he OD'd in the bedroom. I immediately called for help and administered 2 doses of narcan. The next 3 months were complete he'll! He was overdosing at least once a week in front of me. It was really taking a toll on me mentally so that Sept, after he OD'd again, we had a long talk and he quit cold turkey! The next 8 months were amazing to finally have my husband back! Then on April 20, 2022, he said he wanted to go to a friend's to play dominoes. I never seen him again! A few hours later I got a call from the hospital and had to go up there. I will never in my life forget that day and that image. It's burned into my brain!
I called Steve a gentle giant because that's exactly what he was. He cared about everyone. He would literally give you the shirt off his back if you needed it. I've seen him do it. He'd give you his last few bucks or invite you over for a meal or to get out of the elements. If you crossed his path at any time of his life, then he considered you a friend for life and if you needed him, he was there. He loved animals and music, making people laugh.. I'll never hear his laugh again. That was taken from me. I'll never have someone try to cheer me up when they know I'm feeling down the way he did. He was a husband, father, son, brother, uncle, nephew and friend. He didn't deserve to die the way he did. Alone in his "friends" house. :(
