After two years in recovery from opiate addiction, Jeffrey Gay seemed to again have a normal lifestyle — until he didn’t. His grandfather, Dallas Gay, said “associating with people from his past led to (Jeffrey) overdosing on opiates.” Jeffrey, like many others, relapsed. He died in October 2012. Following a $250,000 grant from the Department of Behavioral Health and Developmental Disorders, Dallas Gay said a recovery community organization bearing his grandson’s name, the Jeffrey Dallas Gay Jr. Recovery Center, could prevent others from his fate. It’s what he described as a “legacy that we didn’t wish for” but has the potential to save lives.
