Gregory Robert Lowe

Greg had a spark that drew others to him. Smart, handsome, and caring. He was as good a son as anyone could have hoped for. Special to me and his identical twin brother and good friend to many. We loved him completely. We miss him intensely. As with too many others, he lost his battle with opiate addiction. He had made repeated attempts at recovery only to die from an accidental overdose. This horrible epidemic has taken so much from so many. There are many reasons why individuals become addicted, but the carnage is inexcusable and unnecessary. Many could be saved if our system was improved. Prevention, evidence based programs and common sense legislation are key to saving our loved ones. If someone wants the help they should have access to it when they need it, for as long as they need it. Our current system has failed! Please support Shatterproof and other such organizations for change.
