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

She tried so hard to be sober, she did. She was a kind soul, took too soon.

When they took me on my first rollercoster

Her smile, her games, her pranks.

As a person who struggled through life, a person who went through relapse, addiction, and seeing sober. A person that is brave.

Very missed,always will be remembered, legendary king,greatest big brother and little brother, and father.

The day I gave birth to him

I will miss his beautiful smile and his character

Happy funny and very protective

She was the best mom anyone could ever have. I could tell her everything without her judging me or getting mad it was like that since I was little. As I grew up we became best friends we would often butt heads because we were so much alike

One of my favorite memories is going to the Backstreet Boys concert with my mom. We smoked before hand and it was hilarious. My moms
Laugh could brighten up anyone’s day She ended up getting us seat spots when we only had lawn tickets she could always gets what she wanted she was beautiful and she mostly always got her way. Also the day I gave birth to my baby girl I couldn’t of done it without her

Her smile and her laugh. She had a laugh that was so pure it made you laugh just hearing it. I’m gonna miss her phone calls the way she used to tell me the most random things ever.

To be remembered as an amazing
Mom and grandma. She was super mom/GiGi she did everything for everyone and always put herself last. She was so selfless and just a wonderful person.

God made Joe sensitive, fearless and loving. He gave him a big personality and made him to help so many people. Joe never gave up on his dream of beating addiction and living life free of chains.

His unconditional love of his family.

His love and hugs, his infectious smile, his hopes and dreams.

As someone who cared, who loved everybody.

Kenny was one of a kind. He had the ability to light up any room he walked into and never missed an opportunity to crack a joke. Kenny loved his family more than anything.

The funniest person you will ever meet. That smile melted the hearts of girls. So much like his father. He had zero patience whatsoever but Oh he loved fishing. Shark fishing and cat fishing was his passion. He was a sports lover of all sports.

I don’t have just one. I loved his passion for sports and loved watching him play/compete in all of them. Played baseball all his life. Played soccer to stay fit. Wrestling helped get his aggression out. When he was younger racing BMX bikes was a passion. He was so aggressive and focused when he played sports. A true love of his.

Hearing his laugh. Seeing his smile. Making cheesy eggs at midnight. Eating a whole box of cereal. Yelling at the Tv when sports are on. Arguing with Remington and Selena about the Ravens beating the Steelers. Fishing…. All hours of the night. His energy was always high
Impact.

Remember him as Jake. The fun loving, kind and funny friend/family you had. His passion to play sports to his passion to just be there for others. Jakes ashes will travel the world.

Rory loved fishing more than anything. He was a commercial scallop fisherman. He was always working on inventions that were going to make him rich and famous. He had the best laugh!

His laugh and his loyalty.

He would like to be remembered as a commercial fisherman. He wanted nothing more than for us to be proud of him.

Cody was so special to so many people! He didn't meet someone without touching then in some way. Even while he was homeless there are stories of people he touched along his journey. 💜

The last Mother's Day I had Cody earthside he had called me and we were talking about this and that. I had asked him if he forgot to tell me something and he said, in his most innocent, sweet voice, 'Happy birthday!?!'. I told him no Cody it is mother's day! We had a good laugh over that!

I will miss every little thing about Cody. His laugh (or giggle). It was so sweet. His beautiful smile with his whole face. The way he loved so hard.

Cody would want to be remembered as one of the kindest souls you will ever meet. He loved so innocently and with a huge heart.

He was a loving caring man. Full of life and laughter. Loved his 2 children more than anything in the world. He would help anyone in need. He loved his niece like a daughter and became a very supportive member in her life. But fought daemons daily.

My favorite memory would have to be about a month before his passing we were listening to music and his niece made him get up and dance with her. He was hilarious. He was always making people laugh. Even in school he was deemed the class clown. He was always full of energy and wanted to make people laugh. He definitely made us laugh with his dancing skills.

I will miss my baby boy. He was always my baby. He was the rock that held me together after his father passed away. I will miss his smiling face. And all the advise he would give me even when I didn’t want to hear it. Although he knew I needed to hear it. Because he always told me exactly how it was and would be. Never beat around the bush. Just always to the point whether you liked it or not. He was straightforward with me.

He would want to be remembered as a loving father. But he would always let you know when it was football time. He was a diehard Alabama fan. He loved sports. He also like Tennessee Titans. But Alabama was his die hard team.

John D was my best friend, a very doting son. He had a childlike enthusiasm and loved animals and they loved him back. He had a Caesar Romaro touch and could calm any dogs. He had a green thumb. He loved to plant and tend a garden. He was always there to help others if they were in need of a helping hand. This was most evident with the homeless people as he would give them food and find them clothes.  Because of his thoughtfulness, every one was his friend and he was well known as a good guy.

He fought with his addiction a long and tough battle  that he was so determined to overcome . He someone who is very missed. Heart of gold.

Sarah was an emotional being because she felt everything so deeply.

When Sarah was a teen, she was so carefree and had lots of friends. I enjoy thinking about how happy she was at that time in her life.

I will miss the little things that I come across that I would like to buy for her, or share with her, and I will miss taking her kids to visit her.

Sarah cared deeply about other addicts, and wanted to help them. She had a small circle of addict friends and she wanted to save them all. She was filled with love for God and read and prayed often.

I miss my father, i was only 4 years old when he died, and sadly it was almost my birthday. i miss him, his smile, and his music.

Daniel was a great loving,caring talented man with a big heart ! He loved his family very much !

Will always miss him being funny..loving and his beautiful soul !

My son was exceptionally intelligent and handsome with a brilliant smile
He loved making others laugh and he loved his momma

Seeing him walk up to me with his shining smile! Riding his dirt bike and our talks together his laugh

Everything in every way he was perfectly imperfect and I loved him unconditionally

For being a caring friend to all
People even caring to people he didn’t know. His huge heart and his goofy fun side

There are so many but one that stands out the most how she had so much confidence..

Ill miss everything
It's 3 years later and not a day goes by I don't think about and miss her

Only one that could stand me at my worst. When I was acting up he’d laugh and it would stop me in my tracks and reset my mind. Promised he’d never ever leave me.

Complaining to George the chef about every single fucken meal he served us.
The way he’d truck every newcomer into spade games for money cuz my person was brilliant and could count cards.

I can’t. All of it. My once in a lifetime person.

As the sarcastic smart ass pushy gets what he wants or else genius he was.
