Garrett’s Story

Garrett's Story, BirdieLight

Meet Garret Reams.


February 28, 2000 – October 18, 2022

At only 22 years old, Garrett passed away from fentanyl poisoning, surviving his mother, father, and brother. Garrett was an extremely talented baseball player. During his years of playing baseball, he achieved first-team all-conference and had an insane batting average of .428. This later led him to become captain in his senior year of high school. Outside of baseball, Garrett was known to bring light to everyone he met. Garrett graduated high school with honors and attended Virginia Commonwealth University where his charisma led him into even more hearts. He became Vice President of his fraternity and was loved and respected by all. Nonetheless, he still made the Dean’s List on numerous occasions. Garrett was known as the most loving and kindhearted person you could ever meet. No amount of words can do his life justice.

While we advocate for the life-saving potential of tools such as fentanyl test strips and naloxone, BirdieLight is not the manufacturer of these tools, and no tool is 100% accurate all the time. BirdieLight makes no representations that these tools are 100% accurate; any reliance you place on them is strictly at your own risk. Please keep in mind that while fentanyl test strips are a powerful detection tool for the potentially-lethal presence of fentanyl in illegal pills and powder, the strips have been determined to be 92-96% sensitive in detecting fentanyl. Remember, never use any substance when you are alone (tell a friend you are taking something!) and that friend should always know where the naloxone (Narcan) is.
