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

Dear First Lady Sarah Stitt,
My name is Angie Pierce-Allsbury. I lost my firstborn son, Jamon Alexander Marshall.
Jamon was 22 years old when he passed away on March 22, 2022, from fentanyl
poisoning. Jamon had two siblings, Alyssa and Landon. He was literally the glue that held
my little family of four together.
Jamon was a tree climber and a storm chaser, so any natural disaster that came around,
he was there. I guess you could say, he was a first responder for cleaning up the
aftermath.
I’ve always known my son was special. He had a love for EVERYONE and EVERYTHING
around him. Jamon was a great man, but I didn’t know how great until he passed away.
When Jamon died, the messages started coming in on Facebook; 20, or more, the first
day, alone. Day two, there were 50 messages about how kind and comforting Jamon had
been to their families when they were at their lowest. At 22, my son had helped more
people than I could ever imagine.
For as long as I can remember, all Jamon wanted to do was be a dad. He wanted to get
married and have a family. Jamon never got that chance because his life was cut short.
Three years ago, Jamon was in an accident at work where he broke his ankle. He had two
surgeries in a year-and-a-half. He had to go back to work early without doing physical
therapy, and they took his pain medicine away, so he did what so many had done before
him. He purchased a Percocet from a friend of his, but it was laced with fentanyl. Jamon
did not go seeking a drug to get “high”. He was hooked on pain meds, through no fault of
his own, and just wanted to feel better.
He will never be a dad. He will never have a wife. He won’t get to watch his niece grow
up. He won’t be here to welcome his brother back from Romania. Jamon is gone, and he
is never coming back. He was a wonderful son, a solid brother, and our family is forever
changed, all because of a little blue pill.
Jamon, and every other person who has lost their lives to this drug, are casualties of war.
Will you help the healing by putting up a Memorial Wall in their honor?
Thank you for your consideration,
Angie Pierce-Allsbury – Jamon’s mom; forever 22
