Brad Zulick, 29, of Butler Township, who died in March 2016, was one of 74 people in Butler County who died from an overdose in 2016.
His addiction and subsequent death left friends and family members walking a long road back from heartache.
“Every day is still different,” said Kelly Zulick, Brad's sister. “(I'm) able to function, but there's still days where you just cry, and it's hard to get through the day.”
Brad's mother, Sue Zulick-Check, talked about her son's life, his struggles with addiction and how she's coped with the loss:
