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

Chelsea was a beautiful, bright loving person. I miss her every minute of every day. She was my daughter, my friend and the love of my life.

Matthew not being here to help raise his son who he loved more than anything in the world

As a loving caring person that would do anything to help others

Donnie was the person that turned mundane into excitement. He loved fiercely. If you knew him, you had no choice but to love him. His sense of humor, his laugh, his empathy-these are his best traits. Forever loved and missed 💜

Old soul...talented, loved by so many

Their BEAUTUFUL hearty laugh

Her physical presence

Angel from Heaven

Tiffany was an amazing person. She was talented doing hair, drawing, and being a friend.

My daughter and her had so many memories.

I will miss our talks

Tiffany was a hard worker and great friend

Ben was a loving old soul in a young man's body. His family was the most important thing to him in the world and he would be certain to hug you both coming and going. Ben was so witty and had a crazy contagious laugh and could always make you smile

Favorite memories include beach trips, where he always got stung by at least one jellyfish, ski vacations that always included a daredevil injury of some sort, watching the Netflix shows we loved together, grabbing way too many tacos at Torchy's while watching the Torchy's channel and belly-laughing, eating creamy jalapeno at Chuys, playing fetch with Roscoe, meeting him at work and watching how he ran the place wherever he was and how everyone he worked with loved him and he loved them.

There are so many things to miss- hearing his thumping car drive up outside and him bouncing in the front door with a "hola"! I miss his silly jokes and stupid pics we would send each other of dogs or inside jokes that no one else would get. I miss him calling me for no reason and always telling me he loved me. I miss our deep talks and I miss hearing him talk about his plans for the future. I miss his rough hands and the way his hair smells and the sound of him singing in the shower.

Ben would like to be remembered first and foremost as part of family he loved and who loved him- as a son, brother, grandson, nephew, cousin and as an uncle. He would like to be remembered for his hugs and "I love you's". He would like to be remembered to striving to get the most out of the time he had on earth- living big, loving full, helping anyone he could. He would like to be remembered for his sense of humor and his ability to turn any negative into a positive no matter what.

My big brother was quite & shy but had the biggest eyes filled with lots of love

My favorite memory with drew is the jokes he would tell with his laughter that would follow.

His eyes and beautiful smile.

Being the best brother he could be .

huge heart mother of 2 boys that she loved very much

Alex was such a loving, protective, loyal, hilarious, forgiving person. He was child-like but his demeanor was intimidating. He was misunderstood. He gave the most ínstense hugs. That’s how you knew you were loved. He didn’t give those to everyone.

I have so many memories. Mostly, Alex was such a prankster. He had the best, funniest and sometimes inappropriate impressions/jokes. He loved to hide behind a door and scare the bejeesus out of me! He thought it was hilarious!

This might offend some, but Alex smoked weed to help him cope. He always tried to get me to smoke with him. One day I did and we laughed at each other so hard we woke up my husband. This was about three months before he transitioned. It’s a sweet memory I will cherish.

I miss his hugs and big presence. I miss his jokes and impressions at my expense. I miss his laugh that was music to my ears because it wasn’t often you heard it. I miss being able to see him as a dad to his young girls; one of which he never got to meet. I miss his smell and wavy, soft hair and kissing his head. I miss his beautiful green/gray eyes. I miss him saying, “Maaaa!” when he wanted something from me. I miss his unchanging and undying love for me as his mama.

As a good and strong young man who loved deeply. A big-hearted guy who was genuine and would always tell you what he thought-good or bad. A guy who was fierce but sensitive and not afraid to show how he felt about you. He was a loving son, brother, fiancé and daddy.

Never understood how great you where, how handsome, funny. You were so loved.

Vacations, you never met a stranger.

His contagious smile and sense of humor.

Having an open mind about everyone and always willing to lend a helping hand.

Vincent was the fun one. The resilient one. The one with a heart of gold. He was a social chameleon who always wanted everyone to be happy, have a good time and live their best life.

I miss everything about my brother, but I will miss the connection we shared as siblings the most. The memories Vincent and I had of our parents were so much more meaningful to share with each other after they passed. Now that he’s gone too, it’s like losing another part of the family archives.

Vincent was one of a kind. I know he would want his wild, carefree spirit will live on in our hearts forever.

Anyone who knew Terry knew what a kind, thoughtful, and generous person she was. She had a great sense of humor and cared for her family so much. She was a loving mother, daughter, sister, aunt, friend, and coworker. She is dearly missed.

Please remember her with love and laughter ❤️

James was a loving and caring son who looked at the world in a unique way. He loved to read and was most comfortable being outside in nature exploring, discovering, and creating. He loved his big family, and was a loyal friend.

One of my favorite memories of James is seeing his delight in discovery of new things. When he was 5 or 6 years old he piled up random rocks he had found and fashioned a pirate ship. His imagination was astounding . Everyday was an adventure. His favorite bug was the praying mantis, which he found them readily on his nature searches. Civil War reenacting was a passion he shared with his dad.

I miss James' hugs and his soothing voice saying "I love you, Mom".

I want James remembered as a loyal and compassionate person who was rich in imagination, service, compassion, humor, and love. He is a beautiful child of God.

Sweet and sensitive, grilled the best steaks ever and his baked potatoes were always a work of art. Jamie loved to joke and tease his friends and family. He had a heart of gold.

Every beach vacation! Jamie loved the beach. The last Carolina Country Music Festival we attended was in 2019. We had a great time as a family. We laughed and enjoyed every minute of that trip together. Jamie had the best time. He was enjoying a great, clean life. We were all so proud of him!

His sweet, kind nature. I miss his voice and his smile. I miss his hugs and all his tropical shirts.

He would like to be remembered as being fun-loving and carefree.

Jaden was just 24 years old, when his life ended. He will be forever remembered, for the incredibly sweet, smart and talented individual that he was
