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

Dear First Lady Aimee Wilson,
His name was Keaton Richard Stroh. He was only 25 years old.
Keaton was my 3rd of 5 beautiful children. He was a spit fire of a middle child and he
loved life. He was very social and he was a gifted athlete. He excelled in his goals and
was loved by all who knew him.
During sports he suffered 3 major head concussions and track injuries and the worst
long board crash, all of which landed him countless scripts for Oxycodone. He
graduated and became lethargic in his thirst for life. We did our best to parent him
through this “post high school, what am I going to do with my life” stage and
encouraged him to dream big. He came home and announced he was leaving to
become a U.S. Marine.
Keaton absolutely thrived as a Marine! His quest for life returned with crushing goals
and receiving awards. He was one of six Marines granted a special humanitarian
mission to travel the world. deployment came with many unknown factors, and he
started drinking. Eventually, he would be separated from the Marines and sent home
for help.
He returned to his job at UPS and once again, he buckled down and was making his
goals. Once he achieved a driver position, I stopped worrying. He struggled with his
oxy addiction, and we had no idea it was even happening. He suffered an overdose
that literally left him knocking on heaven’s door. By the grace of God, he was given a
second chance.
Our entire family wrapped around him and sent him to the best rehab available. We
even attended the family counsel sessions to be educated in what was happening.
The pandemic happened- rehabs were closed and he was sent home- where our state
closed meetings, gyms, rehabs, doctor’s visits and I watched the life leave his eyes.
He went for a bike ride and his friend met him at our local park- the friend gave him 3
oxy pills to take the edge off as he was preparing to return to rehab. He took one pill at
approximately 3 am on July 21,2020.
I found him dead at 2:37 pm dead. Sitting on his bed. His autopsy took 20 weeks, and
he only took 1 pill and there was zero oxy in his system. His pill was fentanyl and
Carfentanyl. His pill had so much that it would have killed 11 men. He never stood a
chance. We had never heard of fentanyl or fake pills. What would I give to go back in
time and stop this from happening? He didn’t deserve death. 1093
