About Texas Panhandle Overdose Awareness

Angie Duncan is the founder of Texas Panhandle Overdose Awareness (TPOA), an organization she started in 2023 in honor of her son, Drew, who lost his precious life to an accidental overdose in 2018. Through advocacy, education, and community outreach, Angie is dedicated to raising awareness about addiction and overdose, that provides support for people affected by overdose loss.

Originally from Alabama, Angie moved to the Texas Panhandle in her teens. Along with her advocacy work, she cherishes her role as a mama to her four kids, ranging from 27 to 9 years old. A homeschool mom, she finds herself getting lost in a good book, visiting the beach, and hugging as many trees as possible.

Drew was born in 1994 with a gleam in his eye and a need or adventure in his soul. Even as a child, he was protective and brave! He loved all sorts of music and had a passion for art. He laughed loud and gave the kind of hugs that lifted you off of the ground. "Roll Tide" was his tagline as he obnoxiously cheered on his Alabama football team. Drew's smile lit up a room, and if you were around him, you were definitely laughing. 

Drew was a son, daddy, brother, nephew, grandson, and friend. He is loved beyond worlds and time, and our lives will never be the same. Drew, this revolution is yours.
