Steve Yates's daughter, Christina Yates, tragically died of a fentanyl overdose in October 2023.

Despite efforts including detox and rehabilitation, she relapsed and ultimately succumbed to the overdose. Steve and his wife had adopted Christina and her brother as newborns. Christina's battle with addiction and her death had a profound impact on Steve, who has shared his story publicly to help raise awareness about addiction and loss.
