One pill and one mistake. That’s what killed 17-year-old Zach Didier.
Retired Lt. Col. Chris Didier now travels the country sharing his message about the dangers of fentanyl, a synthetic opioid commonly found in counterfeit pills. This message includes a call for the government to step up to make real changes.
Our youth face these problems at increasingly early years. ALL PARENTS are encouraged to attend.
Join the Conversation, learn about the social media connection to drugs and your sons and daughters. Learn about the current real-world threats and pitfalls that your children face. Learn how to avoid the pitfalls and help to keep your children safe.

Chris is a father of 3 incredible children and is originally from the Sacramento, CA area. He attended the Air Force Academy and is now a retired Air Force officer, current pilot for United Airlines, and former head coach for the Rocklin youth soccer club.
In Dec. 2020, Chris discovered his youngest child, Zachary, in the privacy of his room, no longer alive after Zach had consumed what was thought to be a legitimate and harmless prescription pill. Instead, Zach had unknowingly ingested a fake pill made of illicit fentanyl and died at the age of 17 as a high school senior. Zach had no history of recreational drug use or struggled with depression or anxiety.
Zach was a self-taught musician, straight-A student, multi-sport athlete, lead role in a HS Musical, and was active with Scouting and community service. His giving nature and infectious smile will always be missed. Since his passing, Zach was accepted into five U.C.s, including UCLA.
Chris is working tirelessly in his advocacy to help bring needed awareness and education of the dangers of illicit synthetics in an effort to save lives. He serves as an executive board member for Victims of Illicit Drugs.
