Grieving Out Loud: A Mother Coping with Loss in the Opioid Epidemic

Former college coach speaks out after losing standout athlete son to fentanyl


Listen Later

For so many young athletes, playing a college sport is the dream. But for Taelin Webb, one wasn’t enough—he excelled in two. From standout basketball player to football star at Southern Utah University, Taelin was the kind of athlete who seemed unstoppable: disciplined, passionate, and in peak physical condition.
Taelin’s dad, Vonn Webb, who also coached at the collegiate level, says he didn’t have any major concerns about his son, but little did he know that his son had a secret struggle.

Hear how Vonn has now transformed his playbook of life to prevent other families from suffering a similar tragic loss.

You can also watch a national TV special, “Saving a Generation, The Fentanyl Crisis", featuring both Vonn and Angela.
