USA First Lady Dr. Jill Biden and Second Gentleman Doug Emhoff

Dear First Partner Siebel Newsom,
Hi, my name is Susan Myers-Davis. I would like to take a minute and introduce you
to my son, Sergio D Myers. Sergio was born August 15, 1987, and will be forever 34
years old. Sergio was a fun loving, gregarious, happy man. Sergio also had an IQ
of 122 and graduated High School with a 4.0 GPA. Sergio was a great big brother to
his younger sisters, teaching them to tie their shoes, walking them to school, and he
even started his own lawn service business when he was only 10 years old. Sergio
was the baby of three boys and the fifth child of 13. We had yours, mine, and ours
bunch. Sergio struggled with mental health most of his life and as an adult, decided
to self-medicate.
Sergio and his wife had three beautiful children that they lost to Child Protective
Services, and they were eventually adopted by a family that did not allow them to
have any contact with them. This loss sent Sergio into his addiction, and he
became homeless on the streets of Reno, then Victorville, California.
Sergio lost his battle with addiction on July 18th, 2022, in the parking lot of a busy
gas station in Victorville, California. Sergio was poisoned by fentanyl. Sergio would
literally give the shoes off his own feet to other homeless people who needed them
more than he did.
Sergio’s drug of choice was methamphetamine, but when he died, they found 15ng
of fentanyl in his system as well. I believe it only takes 4ng to kill an average size
person. Sergio was a huge teddy bear. He was loved by his siblings and his
parents.
Sergio lost his stepdad, Randy Davis 73 days after he died to a fentanyl overdose
and his sister Rebecca seven and a half months after he died to a fentanyl
overdose.
Sergio’s poisoning set our whole family wondering what is being done about this
awful and dangerous drug coming into our country. My heart breaks for the families
that are going through this same pain that we are.
I am writing to you to have a place dedicated and set aside in our capital to place
my son's photo and those photos of all our California young people and other family
members that are losing their lives to this tragedy.
Thank you in advance for your time, consideration and help to make this small
gesture for our losses mean something.
