Kyle Keding, 34, of Wisconsin Rapids, Wis., watches the Green Bay Packers play on television in his home in Wisconsin Rapids, November 12, 2017. Keding was a heavy heroin user for five years until December 2, 2014, when Daniel Martz, 28, died of a drug overdose after snorting heroin that Keding bought. "The only way I can make amends to that person is by living a clean and sober life today," said Keding, who hasn't used drugs or alcohol since that night.

Photos of Daniel Martz and a note from him decorate Martz's 12-year-old daughter Jayda Morrison's bedroom wall in her home in Wisconsin Rapids, Wis., January 27, 2017. Morrison was nine when her father died of a heroin overdose.
