    Father warns of illicit drugs cut with fentanyl in pill form

    Loveland, Ohio – Tom Quehl is the co-founder of the Jack Quehl Foundation and the father to Jack Quehl, who died of fentanyl poisoning in 2021. Jack Quehl was 24 years old. He and his wife, Stephanie Quehl, now share Jack’s story and others’ to raise awareness.

    Tom Quehl made an appearance on NewsNation with Kelsey Kernstine to discuss the rising prevalence of fentanyl laced pills.

    “With the shortage of Adderall and Xanax out there, they’re trying to fight depression or ADHD, and they’re reaching out to the street, and they’re finding drugs that are laced with fentanyl,” Tom Quehl said. “And if it’s not killing them … they’re getting something that has a different taste to it, and now they become an addict and a regular customer. And that spiral is something I don’t want to see.”

    Loveland, Ohio – The Jack Quehl Foundation – DoItForJack was established in 2022 in loving memory of the beloved son of Tom and Stephanie Quehl, Jack, after his tragic death from fentanyl poisoning. His death was a devastating loss to his family and his many friends.

    You are invited for coffee and pastries on Wednesday, May 7 by the DoItfor Jack – Jack Quehl Foundation to learn more about the Foundation, its mission and “the many ways they work to impact the fight against fentanyl.”

    May 7th is National Fentanyl Awareness Day and we would love the opportunity to share more about the foundation, and the mostly unknown prevalence of fentanyl in ours, and all communities. This is not an invitation to ask for donations or contributions. The Foundation simply wants the community they live in to know them, be aware of who they are, and understand why they strive to be so visible. Your knowledge alone could contribute to the effort of saving lives that we strive for.

    Jack Quehl was a kid like yours

    Jack Quehl was a kid like yours.

    Jack grew up here in Loveland, went to elementary school at St. Columban and high school at Moeller. He played football and was a National Merit Scholar. Jack loved music, travel, reading, and his friends. He graduated from the University of South Carolina’s Darla Moore Business School and moved to Baltimore for his first job. A month later, Jack was dead.

    Jack made one bad decision, and it killed him.

    One night, Jack was with friends, and someone brought out a party drug. Jack didn’t say no. None of them knew the drug had been cut with deadly fentanyl. On Sunday, September 19, 2021, Jack was found unresponsive, and one of his friends was dead. Jack’s parents Tom and Stephanie rushed to his side, but it was too late. Jack wasn’t an addict, he wasn’t a habitual drug user, and he never intended to take fentanyl. But he did, and it took his future.

    Fentanyl is the leading cause of death for Americans ages 18-45.

    Illicit fentanyl is cheap and easy to make, and it pours into our country every day. It’s 50 times stronger than heroin, 100 times stronger than morphine, and is highly addictive. Cartels add it to illegal and recreational drugs and to fake pills made to look like Xanax and other prescription medications. In 2023, DEA seized more than 68 million fentanyl-laced fake pills and more than 11,010 pounds of fentanyl powder. That’s equivalent to more than 336.3 million fatal doses.

    7 out of 10 fake pills contain a lethal dose of fentanyl.

    Tom and Stephanie Quehl don’t want another family to be devastated by fentanyl. In November 2022, they founded DOITFORJACK and the Jack Quehl Foundation. DOITFORJACK is committed to educating our community about the threat of fentanyl poisoning by sharing Jack’s story. To learn more about our mission, please visit us at DOITFORJACK.ORG.
