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

She was always protective of her family. She loved her son with all of her heart. He was her world. She was so beautiful and funny. People gravitated toward her to know her better because she had a beautiful face, heart, & spirit.

Taking road trips, blaring music with the windows down, and laughing with her.

She was a protective big sister so I knew she would always have my back. I miss sharing my concerns but also my good news with her.

She would like to be remembered as a great mom, a caring nurse, a protective big sister, and a huge OU football fan.

Turner could put a smile on anyone’s face. He was engaging, friendly and kind to everyone. You could talk to him about anything and he would never judge you.

I miss his hugs, long talks about nothing but also everything, and cooking the best food together.

He should be remembered as a person that always gave more than he received and would put everyone else first before himself.

The smartest, kindest person you could ever know. Full of great potential, yet suffered greatly with lack of self-esteem.

My favorite memory of Shane, watching him SK8 board and nail every trick. Seeing him Graduate HS in 2011,
1 year ahead of his class due to his grades (GPA).

I will miss most, Shane's laughter & great smile, my history lessons he would teach me on a nightly basis watching "Jeopardy", and simply his presense !

Helping Others In Need. Shane had much empathy for the homeless and gave his very last $dollar and cents to a homeless man standing at our local gas station (2) weeks prior to him passing away.
Shane said to the homeless man; Hey man, this will help you more than it will help me...this is my last dollar to my name. I wish I had more to give you but maybe you can get a drink or something !

Guy had a beautiful spiritual soul that was empathetic and eager to please. He loved his family and his cat and he tried so hard to stay in recovery from his dual diagnosis. He had the biggest plans, and now he lives on in the lives his memory saves.

Guy loved meeting for Mexican food, Starbucks, church, and just having good heart to heart talks. He had a great sense of humor, a bit salty at times, but missed his calling as a comedian. There are too many favorite memories to name just one.

Simple~ I miss his hugs and hearing him say, “I love you, mom.”

Guy would like to be remembered as a nice person, which he was, who treated others with the dignity and respect that he was not always provided. He was a man of faith and he knew God loved him.

Andy was my little brother. Struggled years with substance abuse. He had a heart of gold and always put others first, throughout everything. He's missed dearly, every single day.

His heart of gold and infectious smile.

Rachel was beautiful, charming, funny and full of life. She lived life to the fullest. She is missed by all who knew her and I am blessed God gave her to me for 24 years.

My favorite memory was watching her determination as a little girl as she learned to ride her bicycle without training wheels. She would prop that bike on the tree out back, get on her bike as the tree balanced it, and take off. She would go a few feet and fall over. I watched from my kitchen window while she did this over and over for a good two hours until she at last mastered it. She has that kind of determination in all she did.

Her singing off key like nobody was listening. Her and her sister laughing together. Her beautiful eyes that held so much wonder. Her enjoying and loving her nephew. She always said he was probably the only human she loved more than she loved herself.

She would want people to remember how she would light up a room the second she walked in. She was always happy and fun to be around. She was honest and sincere.

Quirky, beautiful, super intelligent, highly creative, compassionate and loving, born to be gliding on wheels or a board, and emotionally vulnerable.

Reading stories together on the hammock, lost in time.

His love, his humor, and seeing him realize his incredible potential. He knew the struggle, and wanted to help people.

He left words behind. “For all those who are lost and broken, remember you are worth it. Love yourself for who you are.”

He was such a fun person. He could always make me laugh so hard. He had the biggest heart.

Him calling me mom

His thoughtfulness always helping someone out

Devahn was a handsome, wonderful soul. He had a contagious laugh that would fill the room with love! Dev was a fiercely loyal and loving son. Devahn loved his 4 children above all else and felt honored to be their father. Devahn was a special soul who will forever loved and missed.

He was a protector a man who was trying to be better for his family. And a father who would go above and beyond for his boys. And a loving husband who made sure to always be supportive of his wife.

So many memories but the times we took our kids and Nieces and nephew to school breakfast after school treats he always had to take them somewhere. He showed so much love to us.

His pep talks he always reminded me I don’t need certain people in my corner. That I did everything on my own. And he couldnt be more proud to have me as the mother of his kids and wife.

For being the best father out of all things in life being a dad is what he did best. From the day he became a dad at 17 to his last day of life. He was so amazing it’s like he was born to be a dad. His love was one of a kind.

Matthew lived life in the fast lane. He absolutely loved his mom, dad, and younger brother. His laugh was infectious and he could entertain anyone for hours with his stories. He had a soft side that rarely anyone got to see. He loved 4-wheelers.

There are so many, but Matthew and I met in treatment and I knew I loved him right away. When we got out, we spent a lot of time together. One night when he was over and we were laying in bed, he said "I love you...I've never been this happy before in my entire life." I never let him live down the fact that he said it first. I'd give anything to go back to that night, to hear him say that one more time.

There are so many things I miss about Matthew. I miss him waiting for me at my apartment to hangout when I got off work. I miss driving around in his truck to nowhere, even though his driving scared me. I miss cuddling with him when we had nothing to do. I miss texting him throughout the day when I'm bored at work. I miss talking to him about everything and nothing. I miss his smile and the sound of his laugh when he thought he was being funny. I miss hearing "I love you" from him.

I believe that Matthew would want to be remembered for his adventurous side; there was nothing he wouldn't try. He would want people to remember to always have fun, because he always wanted to have fun. He would want to be remembered as a son and a brother who loved his family very much.

Mitch loved his two sisters and his family! Mitch was a funny, caring person with beautiful blue eyes, a sweet spirit, a sense of humor, a love of the outdoors and a caring heart. Mitch loved fishing, golfing and paintball and anything outdoors!

As a young boy, Mitch was known for constructing club house after club house that became more elaborate and impressive over time…you just had to watch out for the 6 inch nails poking out on the inside so you didn’t get injured! He literally would hold his sisters by the ankles, making them help him dumpster dive for clubhouse raw materials. He considered his sisters his 'wingmen' in life and they are lucky to have survived his antics!

I will miss his laugh, his love of food and searching out the best great place to eat! I will miss his free spirit and sense of adventure. I'll miss his 'special recipe' breakfasts and the way he drove us all crazy. I'll miss his sweet smile and his kind heart.

...as a guy who makes a great fashion statement, a badass golfer, an expert paintballer, a lover of black labs (Lilly and Cali), a lover of the outdoors, a big brother and a son/grandson who tried his best.

..a friend who drove his friends crazy, as a guy who ladies loved, and as a human being who struggled like everyone else.

He will be forever in our hearts.

He loved hip hop, but also enjoyed country.

He loved life and everything about it.

Matt was a very high energetic little boy who brought smiles and laughter to many who knew him. He was a very talented athlete until he put more energies into friends & partying. Matthew was a gift from God that we loved and encouraged for 26 yes💜

I miss Matt’s hugs and loves and seeing him smile. I miss his phone calls and telling each other I love you. I miss him stopping by my work and saying hi or bringing me an orchid. I miss his physical being. He has left a very large void in our family. He was our youngest and only son. We will miss him always💜

Matt was a loving bug-hearted sensitive guy. He was loved by many and we miss him. He had so much more life to give but remembering he is at peace and has no demons gives us comfort!

Caitlin had a huge heart, she would do anything for anyone. Sadly, she seemed to connect with people who were not as loyal as she was, it broke my heart. She had a dog Millie that was her life along with her fiancé Jamie.

Caitlin spent months collecting small bottles for her sister’s 21st birthday, she put a big glass together and was so proud of the gift. Her sister loved it! She spent so much time thinking about gifts for others. She gave me a necklace for Christmas one year, every time I wear it I think of her.

She was always there when anyone needed her, I knew I could call her to come when I needed her. She and Jamie never really found there place in the world, but they left a gaping hole in my world. She had the most beautiful smile, I have so many pictures, sadly that’s all I have left.

She loved animals and we did a memorial fund for her at a local no kill shelter. We were able to sponsor a kennel for a year, she would have loved that so much. I hope she and Jamie and Millie are all back together again in paradise.
