Amber Roberts
Amber Roberts, former student at Lake Washington High School, died of a heroin overdose on June 28, 2015.
Amber's smile and laugh lit a room up.. She was everyone's friend, a compassionate, non judgmental, funny, out-going young woman. She loved and adored her younger brother.. And the best daughter a Dad could ask for...
............................................
Amber's father, Michael Roberts, has since devoted his time to awareness with the nonprofit Amber's Heroin and Opiate Prevention and Education — H.O.P.E.
"Three weeks before she passed, when I saw her, I knew something was different," Michael Roberts said.
Amber Roberts had been using heroin since February. A friend told Amber's mother, who then contacted Michael Roberts for help.
Amber Roberts, then 19, went on a trip to Las Vegas chasing a popular form of dance music and when she returned, her father planned to pick her up and take her to detox. A few days after her return, Amber asked to be picked up early from a music festival in eastern Washington.
Upon arrival in Kirkland, Amber then drove to Snohomish County to buy heroin, Michael Roberts said, and returned to her mother's house in Snoqualmie Highlands.
"I talked to her by midnight," Michael Roberts said. "By the next morning, by mid-afternoon, [her mother and stepfather] went up to check and she was dead."
