Courage’s Story
Meet Courage.
March 6th, 1999 – July 5th, 2022
Courage was a young man with a bright future who lost his life too soon from fentanyl poisoning. After graduating from high school in 2020, Courage pursued his interest in flying by enrolling in the American Airlines Flight Academy. He dedicated himself to his studies at flight schools in San Diego, CA, and Pompano Beach, Florida, where he earned his pilot’s license and moved one step closer to fulfilling his dream of becoming a commercial airline pilot.
One night, while out with friends, Courage unintentionally ingested a pill that contained fentanyl. After spending three days on life support, Courage passed away on July 5, 2022, leaving his family and friends were left devastated, struggling to come to terms with the loss of such a bright and loving soul.
Courage was known for his infectious smile and kind heart that left a lasting impression on everyone he met. He had so much potential and so much to give to the world, but his life was cut tragically short. Though he may be gone, his memory will live on in the hearts of those who knew and loved him. Thank you to Courage’s mom for bravely sharing his story.
