TURNING THE CORNER
On May 23rd, Ron Anthe (pictured center), Lewisville resident and Fighting Farmer from the '80s, spoke on the tragic loss of this son to drug abuse, and ultimately, an overdose.
The story of Ron's son, Ryan, reminds us that drugs can affect individuals from any social, economic, and family background. Ryan's untimely death at 27 years of age, which was preceded by years of battling drug addiction, has moved Ron to share their family's story to warn others of the dangers of getting into drugs.
Ron hopes to someday start a foundation in Ryan's name. Until then, he will continue to visit LISD schools sharing his story in hopes of helping others avoid the painful path of drug use.
