I knew ced since we were kids. I haven’t seen him in years as I was in prison. I seen him once since I was out and didn’t realize he was on any drugs. I didn’t know until I heard he passed. Sorry for your families loss. I don’t know anyone who would have anything bad to say about ced, he was truly a good man as long as I known him.

I think her greatest point here is addicts are someone beside their addiction. There is a problem indeed, but there is also so much more to them.

I'm sorry Cedric passed. My brother died of herion and my sister died of zanax. My other sister died in a car accident and my husband died from multiple drugs. I wish the good days were back to see them all again. Blessings to you!

Im a recovering addict from oxys to heroin to fentanyl. I wanted to die to safe my family from the heartaches but i wanted to live for my children because i knew i needed to be sober if they struggled. So here i am 3 years sober fighting to educate my children to save them. I love your message. Its not easy but i live in gratitude

You have done an excellent job of honoring your brother by giving a full picture of who he was. My heart goes out to you. I am so sorry for your loss.

I haven't talked to my brother in 5 years. He's in Texas, we are in Boston. I've given up hope, but I pray for him daily 🙏🙏🙏🙏

Even through his own struggles, he reached out to help others! What a beautiful soul 🙏🏻

My sister was 25 years old when she took one fentanyl pill in jail with five other girls, and they all died in 2015. These new drugs have dangerous chemicals in them. Sorry for your loss 😢

He wasn't alone when he died sweetie.. God had him in the palm of his hand the entire time. I'm so sorry for your loss 😢 he seemed like such a great person.

Wow I am a recovering addict I had 5 knee surgeries since 2017 and like his sister said you could never know if I didn’t tell you because I don’t look like one. I got addicted to the pain meds after having multiple surgeries. I have been clean for 1 year 8 months and 3 days and it’s a struggle and I know he was tired but he is in a better place and addiction is real and it sounds like he wanted help he was crying out just didn’t get it in time..RIH Cedric my brother in Christ 😇🙏🏽🙏🏽 good job and kuddos to his sister for bringing his story to light and I pray this helps someone before it’s too late to ❤

Even though he was struggling he still had such a good heart, that is so rare. I'm so sorry.

Dear sister, you've painted a picture of Cedric being a wonderful and loved person, and it has touched me. I'm very sorry for loss, and hope you will eventually find some peace.

All I can say is thank you for sharing this story I needed this. My mom recently started doing 24 hour care for her father in law and I noticed some changes to my mom. It started with night time cold meds all day then Tylenol pm then cigs then weed then mushrooms then oxy and I’m afraid of what’s next. My mom thinks she doing a good job hiding this but because I’m so close to my mom I see what she thinks she’s hiding. I went to my dad and told him I feel the 24 hour care plus 5 kids is too much but all he say is she’s being extra or she being dramatic I’m not putting my father in a home she’ll be alright. I’m not sure why this video came across but I needed to hear this. I’m going to sit my mom down and really have a deep conversation I want to tell her I’m here And she no longer has to feel alone and how much myself and my siblings love and need her and we going to get her help and support her fully even if it means removing her out of that house. Caretaking is hard especially when the person can’t do anything on they own so please check on caregivers because they are busy caring for other people completely forgetting themselves. Before my father forced her to care for his father my mom wasn’t taking anything, smoking anything she was more of a natural herbs type. I’m so sorry for your loss 🙏🏽

The pain in this woman’s voice and her heartfelt story just enrage me. 100k dead and nothing is being done. God bless you, your brother and family.

I show every episode to my 3 teenagers. Education and awareness is key!

Just loss my nephew to this....in July. We're all devastated by this. 😢

Cedric's sister seems like a lovely lady and so does Cedric. Be at peace, Cedric, our journey continues on after de@th. ❤

Thanks for sharing Cedric's story to the world. You know Ced loved helping people,so if his story can help just one person, that's what he would've wanted. He's truly missed..I love you Ced !! I miss you dearly. I think of you daily.

Cedric seemed like a real sweet guy. Something in his face 🥰

Man i miss my homie! Childhood to Adults, Ced always put a smile on your face. I remember the good times, never knew he was dealing with this. Keeping you alive through spirit and memories bro!

He seems like a great guy. God bless his soul and god bless your family ❤️

Very touching. I knew ced and his family all my life. Everything his sister shared is 100% correct & More. He was so knowledgeable. I always said “boy you better keep that lid on that cannon “ when speaking. He’ll forever be missed. 🙏🏿🙏🏿🕊🕊🕊

The pain in her eyes talking about her brother melted me. He's with you sweetheart! He will always be with you!

Ma’am I am so sorry you lost your brother to addiction. I lost my sister to alcoholism. She just turned 52 when she passed in front of her teenage kids. We tried everything.. Cedric and Melissa are at peace. But, are we? ❤️

Im so sorry for your loss.😢 I lost my twin brother to fentynal. He was 53. He suffered from addiction also. He was such a kind person. Listening to you talk about Cedric reminded me of him. Some souls just seem to fragile for their time here. I also wish I had spent more time with my brother and just accepted him. But loving an addict is very painful. My heart goes out to you and your family❤ Thank you for sharing.

Your story reminds me so much of my brother’s story. We lost him this year. An addict is not just an addict ❤

I’m so sorry for your loss. This story was so well done that it is the first documentary I’ve watched on this channel that made me cry. I feel the love you had for your brother and I’m sure he knew he was loved. Your message about having more compassion and love for the addict was right on point. Also I’m glad you made the point of saying don’t experiment with drugs it’s not worth it.I hope God can help heal your family’s pain from the devastating loss of your brother. Thank you for sharing.

He didn’t die alone god with with him. Unfortunately they are putting fentanyl in other drugs without the person knowing. I’m so sorry for your loss. He’s in a better place now. Thank you for speaking out, you’re helping other people.

Thank you for your story it's makes life bearable. I lost my cousin last year before Thanksgiving '22 I still mourn for her everyday.😢

His live video was really good and he could have been a great help to others who were battling addiction

What a beautiful tribute to your brother - I can't imagine the pain you and your family have suffered. I realize you may feel guilty for not having been closer to him or less judgmental, but please don't be hard on yourself. You did the best you could at that time, and so did Cedric. It's just a very sad outcome.

What a beautiful way you speak of your brother, you didnt judge him for his addiction, you loved your brother unconditionally, addiction is a disease,thank you for sharing Cedrics story, R.I.P Cedric god bless you

I feel u I lost my cousin 2 years ago and still feels like yesterday may he rip

What a loving tribute to his life. I see the warning of this drug but your story shows the life and struggles of your brother. 🥀

This story definitely caught me because I’m battling this with my cousin whom was like a little sister. She is addicted to fentanyl and she is schizophrenic and bipolar. I pray every day for her. It’s so scary. God bless you and your family 😢❤🙏🏾

I always think it’s interesting how older and younger siblings recount their childhood experiences differently 😩. Like, we grew up in the same household, but had two different parent experiences.

When his sister said he tried to help others even when he couldn't help himself. ❤

Just bc he was an addict that doesn't make him less of a person. Ik exactly how you feel. I'm a recovering addict. And, ik what ur going thru bc I lost my son, too. The hardest thing I've ever went thru. May God bless u and ur family.

I was on the alcohol trip, but I'm sober now. Addiction is real, guys. I quit on my own, but it was tough. Thank you for sharing this.

What a gentle, and sweet spirit you have! I’m so sorry! I can hear the anguish, and pain in your voice. Hearing your love, and loss of your beloved brother deeply stirred my soul.

Thank you sweet girl for having the courage to push through your tears to share your precious brother with us. 💔

Thank you for sharing Cedric’s story. He sounds like he was such a nice guy. Your compassion and counsel will help others.

Thanks for sharing your story. You made me understand that i cant simply just put up a wall to protect myself against addict tendencies, but to show compassion towards them. I'll definitely work on that. ❤

He loved the Lord. He must have been mentally tormented by the demon of addiction. I'm so sorry for you loss.

My deepest and sincere condolences on the loss of Cedric🙏

If your mind is being bombarded with negative, self destructive thoughts and anxiety, please memorize this prayer and use it often until your mind is at peace: “I fortify my mind with the Word of God, the blood of Jesus and the fire of the Holy Spirit in Jesus’ name”.

Her story made me cry she said it perfectly and she’s also so beautiful

The Lord was with him when he passed Sis holding him so tight and I do believe he felt the Spirit of the Lord as he clearly knew the Lord! May His Memory Be A Blessing!

God bless cedric I'm not sure why life is so mean and hard on us !!

Hello My Childhood Pj Sis....I was soo saddened & still is Heartbroken...I miss Ced soo much❤❤...He brought soo much Wisdom & Knowledge to myself & followers...Ced was Comical he kept everyone laughing...He was very open about his addiction & wiuld reach out to many about God...Your Mom did a wonderful job raising you ALL...May Ced, my PJ BRO REST IN ETERNAL PEACE-

Ms Cannon, I pray you find peace over your brother’s passing. 🙏🏿

You are telling a very simular story of my Brother..🙏

One thing I notice about this drug, it seems that it takes really good people, not rapist, pedophiles, robbers, but good people who just made one wrong decision.

I am in complete agreement with his comment about spiritual warfare. So sorry for this loss. God bless all of you.

I'm so sorry...Cedric sounded like such a nice person... You and your family are in my prayers. Especially, him mama. I can't imagine the pain. ❤❤❤ Hate the addiction, Love the addict...❤ thank you for loving him sister. You're amazing!

God give his sister the strength to continue to speak on this thing that is taking our people away. Thank you 🙏

Thank you for your beautiful words. So much love to Cedrick, you and your whole family. He sounds like a truly wonderful person who left this world far too early. I’m so sorry for your tragic loss.

He looked like a sweet soul, what a shame. What a devastating story. His sister is a beautiful person. Rip Cedric

Thank you for telling Cedric’s story and your story as well. Even while dealing with his own pain of addiction,Cedric wanted to help others. That shows what a kind and giving person he was. It’s true, knowing that someone is suffering from addiction is like holding your breath. I’m so very sorry for your loss. 🙏

I loss my brother to drugs. My niece to fentanyl they both died alone. I’m praying for all of us

Such a wise lady. Her brother seemed lika a warm person. Nobody of us is perfect.❤

Im so sorry for you and your family. No one deserves this struggle with addiction. Thank you for sharing your brother's story with the world. It makes a difference. Saying that you wished you had expressed your love to him more will surely speak to the hearts of others also dealing with a loved one's addiction. There is a person apart from the addiction that still needs to hear, "I love you." My beloved brother died alone too so i understand that awful pain. Just know that your brother loved God and God and his Son Jesus were there to greet him and wipe away all the tears and heartache that addictions cause.

Thank you for Sharing Sorry for your lost love one.

Thank you for sharing your brother's story, and your own. He loved his family no doubt. You loved him. Love just isn't enough when it comes to the demons that drive addiction. RIP Cedric. God's peace to your Mom.

Thank you for sharing Cedric’s story and sharing your family’s story Sheta! ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Yes, that balance-exactly. We must always maintain compassion or empathy. ❤😢

Wow I love this! She’s an amazing sister, the way she never judged him and said he isn’t just an addict is strong because this can happen to anyone. Fentanyl does not discriminate

Wow I can see the pain in her eyes and face as she was telling her brothers story. I know this has to be hard to even talk about. Cedric sounded like a great person. That really sucks that addiction caused his passing. I’m sure your brother is proud of you for this. ❤️

Cedric's story was told well. Your family sounds amazing, loving the Lord and faithfully praying. It is sad that this drug has taken so many lives. Let us come together in prayer that this drug would vanish off the face of this earth never to kill again. In Jesus name Amen.

Thank you for sharing Cedric’s story. May the Lord hold him in his arms for all of eternity.

I am so, so sorry for your loss, OUR LOSS as a people 😢

I am so sorry. My stepson died 4 years ago from Fentanyl and now my own biological son is in rehab for it. He is 22 years old and he used to just smoke weed so I don't even how this happened. My prayers are with your family please pray for my Geno. You remind me so much of my daughter who like you has never been addicted to anything so I am sending this to her. Thank you and God Bless your family and may Cedrick rest in peace. For anyone wondering I am not condoning weed but he started when he graduated high school and there's not much a parent can do to stop an adult child. I wouldn't wish this on anyone. It's like being a hamster on a wheel that you can never stop. I think most people reading this already understand though. I do plan on sharing this video with my son as well when he gets out so THANK YOU!!!

So sorry for the family and friends loss. Virtual hugs from Dallas Texas ❤❤❤

Thank you for sharing your brother's story. I could feel the love you have for him. Sending prayers for him, you and your family.

I lived a few houses down from Ced but i knew him for 10 yrs and he was always sweet to me always willing to help me and my hubby I met their mom a few times sweet lady but when I found out he passed I had already moved away so we lost contact and it broke my heart I knew he was in the streets but not like this R.I.H I love you Ced always

How Brave and strong you are Sheta for sharing this story with the world. Ced was truly a great guy and loved by many. Your family and my family are forever bonded and I continue to pray for healing 🙏🏾 Cedric is definitely proud of you for being a light and spreading awareness 🙏🏾🙏🏾

When she said it is like you're holding your breath, waiting for that call, I felt that. It is so hard watching someone you love struggle with addiction, especially when they refuse to get help😔

I’m sorry for your loss 😢 May he be in peace 🩵

What a beautiful relationship. You made him proud. I will remember this story forever.

not a religious person, but I think it's really cool that their mom has been going to the same church for 40 years. Must be very special to her.

that is also my question, why do addicts start it anyway? I know it is hard to get out of it once you are already addicted but i wish someday i can understand why they took the 1st hit. Peer pressure? And when you die from addiction, the so-called peers won't even care to go to your funeral?

We heard you and we appreciate you. You spoke well for your brother and this touched me thank you, you don’t even know.

Your brother sounds like a warm loving person.❤

To the young woman, never, never say you grew up, live in or around a low income neighborhood, nothing about you is low income, having or not having money is a state of mind. I am sincerely sorry for your loss.

Thank you for sharing your brother's story. In that brief vid of him speaking, I could feel his authentic, loving and caring spirit. He flies amongst the angels now and I'm sure that he's very proud of his little sis. ✌🏾💞

Cedric was lucky to have a sister like you. You’re a beautiful and kind woman and I hope you have a long happy life. ❤️. RIP CEDRIC 🙏

Ced, I can still see that smile. What a light he was. God called you home and we will miss you amongst us but you’re good now brother🕊️🧡

Rest easy Ced!! Very intelligent sounding.. and he let his ego go.. admitted his addiction. Tossed his pride to the side. Amazing i hope you , his sis gets receives peace and Gods love.

Thank you for sharing your story. I’m so sorry for the heartbreaking loss of your brother. I can see how much he meant to you. Prayers to you and family🙏🏼♥️

Thank you for sharing the story of your brother. You showed compassion but didn’t sound like an enabler & didn’t make excuses. Prayers to you & your family for healing & acceptance! 😢

What an incredible young woman you are. One can just see the intelligence in your eyes. I’m very sorry for your loss.

You have done your brother proud with your story and your love. I wish i had met him. The video clip that was shown added so much to his story...it made me want to talk to him. Thank you and god bless your family. 💔

Beautifully said his sister ❤️ 💕 👏

What an eloquent, beautiful woman. Your story has touched my heart. Wow

Thank you for sharing Cedric’s story. I agree that without enabling them let them know they are still worthy of love even though you don’t love or approve of the addiction. My heart goes out to your family especially your mom.

I read Psalm 91. God delivered him - just not the way humans want. God has no calendar & doesn’t wear a watch. He didn’t die alone.

My big cuz always showed me love, and respect. I had no idea he was an addict. So many lost from drugs in Deland.

I pray strength for your family with your loss.

Oh Gloria, my heart goes out to you and Geno! He will definitely be in my prayers. Stay encouraged and continue to pray for him! Thank you for sharing and thank you for watching!

That was a nice video of your brother, offering an ear to listen. I wish I had been fortunate enough to know him. May he RIP. So sorry for your loss.
