The National Addiction Memorial honors the loved ones we’ve lost.

Terry had a heart of Gold, he would give anyone in need the shirt off his back, he was very smart, funny, a great friend, and like a older brother I never had. I miss him dearly.

His sense of humor, uniqueness, he was just an all around good guy.

He had a great sense of humor. Always putting a smile on everyone's face. Loved to joke around. Always willing to help out wherever he could. One of the best people I could have ever met

He surprised me with booking a vacation for us. Went to Georgia and I was blindfolded when we got close. I have always wanted to stay in a tree house. Well we did. It was so amazing and I don't think anyone could top what that meant to me and us both. Such a great experience

Miss the way they could make people laugh, smile and just being them. Just having long conversations with them while I'm on the road. Hearing about their day and the volunteer work that he was doing.

He had a big, caring, heart of gold and was always full of energy and fun

His smile and laughter will me deeply missed

Micah was the life of the party, the one who could light up the room, the glue of the family. He struggled with his physical health but always had a smile on his face, he loved his son and his nieces and nephews.

His laugh. His laugh could make your worst day better no matter what. He always could joke no matter what, even coming out of a kidney transplant joking.

I miss his personality, I miss the way he loved his loved ones hard. He cared so much about everyone. He always wanted to help.

I want him to be remembered by his smile, his laugh, his love and his personality.

Most beautiful sweet smile.

Just the beautiful laugh he had.

His sweetness

Kind, loving

Jose was a loyal, dedicated and driven man. He was relentless about helping anyone in need whether it be the homeless, the elderly, or a stray animal he always offered a helping hand. Jose loved his family immensely and was an autism advocate.

I will forever miss Jose’s positivity, his sense of humor, cooking, loving nature, life lessons, family prayers, singing, his endless memory bank of movie quotes, hugs and forehead kisses.

Jose should be remembered for his passion and dedication to helping others. The only thing Jose loved more than helping others was being a loving father to his 4 children and 1 step-son.

She had me in 1995 as a single mother. I can only imagine the struggles she had but never failed to make someone smile at the end of the day.

I’ll miss her chicken and dumplings on a cool fall day. I’ll miss her smile and how she made other smile. The stubbornness, sports, basketball practice, playing in the creek, but most of all I’ll miss my mother.

Michael was insanely smart, so much so that in many conversations, not everyone could understand what he was saying. He loved to debate, and attended Vanderbilt Law School. He had a heart of gold and truly accepted others for who they were.

One of my favorite memories of Michael is us sleeping on the floor in my parents room together, right in front of the fireplace. My dad would travel for work and the three of us would sleep in my parents room together and keep my mom company.

I will miss my brothers dry sense of humor and how incredibly selfless he was as an individual. He would always ask how I’m doing (when I was going through a divorce), and would let me rant on and on and just sit there to be a listening ear.

I want everyone to remember my brother for being so down to earth, so real yet funny, so smart, so kind and compassionate, so accepting yet opinionated, so gentle, so admirable. The world needs more people like him.

He was a talented musician and singer having recorded songs on bandcamp. He was a care giver in a Nursing Facility for 8 years. He was passionate about his music and careeer. He touched so many lives with his kind, caring heart

During his teen years, a house full of his friends, and sleepovers. They had so much fun in those carefree years

His companionship and loyalty. We were always there for each other. I will miss our conversations and hugging him

By his music and lyrics, but also his love for his family and friends

She was a warm, caring, talented artist. She was loved by so many for her humor, talent, and her heart of gold

When she was young, she would wake up in a bright, cheery mood, always. We called her Sunshine

Holding her close to me

He always had a smile and was always willing to help those in need with what he could offer. A Father that was doing the best he could with what He knew in a lifelong addiction. Great mechanic, beautiful smile, awesome Brother, Uncle and friend,funny

Not having a Father around for my Son.

His down to earth way he lived.

Jamie as he was affectionately known as. He was a sweet loving person, that was full of life. He loved video games, loved to clean and working on cars. He tried to do the right thing. He just had a strong addiction that he couldn’t overcome.

My favorite memory was when he asked me to marry him. He told me to close my eyes. When I opened them, he was down on one knee asking me to marry him with a beautiful ring.

I will miss his jokes and he at one point going everywhere with me. He brought me to a lot of places I have never been before. I miss him trying to do what he could to make me happy.

I want Jamie to be remembered by his kindness. I also want him to be remembered as a lovable and quiet person. I want people to know that he had a great life and he accomplished a lot in his short life. He just got involved with the wrong crowd. He was more than just a drug addict like people may view him. He was a husband, a father, and he had many people to love him.

We had Ricky when i was 19 and his dad was 20 so we all grew up together we took him everywhere so all our memories together growing with him was our favorite memories.

His love ,his laughter his comedic sense of humor. As his mom he was my best friend not just my son ..i guess in general HIM..MY BEAUTIFUL BOY

He would probably liked to be remembered for his attitude no matter how hard things got he would never give up ..his crazy stories about his everyday life and how much he truly loved family and friends ..his amazing tattoos and Him driving in black widow..And no matter how hard life was for him at times he always wanted to give his friends a positive outlook on life and make them smile

Salvy had the biggest heart. He loved deeply, protected the people he cared about, and always tried to make others laugh, even when he was struggling himself. He was so much more than his addiction—he was a son, brother, uncle, and friend who was deeply loved. Our family never stopped fighting for him, and we never stopped believing he deserved help, compassion, and another chance.

One of my favorite memories was Christmas a few years ago when Salvy jokingly asked our mom if she bought him used shoes because the soles were dirty. We all laughed so hard. Christmas was when our family truly came alive, and Salvy's humor, personality, and presence made those moments unforgettable.

will miss his voice, his laugh, his hugs, and knowing he was only a phone call away. I miss the bond we shared as brother and sister, and I miss having him with our family. We fought for him until the very end because we loved him so much. Most of all, I miss the chance to watch him heal and become the person I always knew he could be.

Salvy would want to be remembered for his heart, his loyalty, and the love he had for his family, especially his mom, who never gave up on him. He would want people to know that he mattered, that he fought hard, and that his life continues to make a difference through the people who loved him and the change inspired by his story.
