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

He was so beautiful. Loyal, Fierce, Quick to offer a hand if anyone needed it. A most talented artist. He was my heart.

When we were kids, Robbie got a new pair of cowboy boots for Christmas. He was 4 and I was 6. We were jumping on mamma's bed and he said he was going to kung fu me.. He then kicked me in the face knocking out my two front teeth... He was crazy funny and could make me laugh so hard...

I will miss hearing his voice. I will miss his great big hugs. This 9 days since he died is the first that I can ever remember him not being in my life. Our lives often led us in two different directions. But we were so close no matter where life had taken us.. I will miss him so very much.. The way his blue eyes would sparkle when he smiled. When he died he took a big part of my heart with him..

He would like to be remembered as a wonderful friend. A protector to many. As a prankster and wise guy.. A go to for all who needed him.. A man with a giant heart and epic love for many in life.

Loving kind an had a heart of gold.. Never miss treated anybody an loved his son very much. Hes missed each day...

His laughter his beautiful blue eyes an the way he made everyone feel when he was around.. Pure joy...

All the things I loved about him..we miss him...

How much he loved life an his family.. That boy had a heart of gold....

My brother was such an amazing man. He had a loving, and caring heart. He would give you the shirt off of his back. He was such a comedian, and made all of us laugh constantly. A piece of our hearts are missing. My first best friend in this life.

Video chatting on the phone, making silly jokes. Sharing the same interests with each other. Walking to the park.

There are to many to count. I honestly just miss being able to talk to him. Send him funny text messages. Tell him how much I love him.

I know he would want to be remembered for the man that he is. His kind heart, loving spirit, how much he loves his family. Strong, free spirited. His love for God.

Such a kind, gentle and thoughtful young man. Loving and caring. Always putting others before himself. Helping others before himself. Greatest daddy in the world.

Seeing my son truly and genuinely happy especially around his baby girl. Trying to show his baby girl how to walk and helping her take her first steps to learn how.

His voice, his hugs, his texts and phone calls saying love you mom. His smile, everything. Just everything.

A person who gives his all to anyone at all at any time of day or night. A loving and caring daddy and friend. An honest, caring and genuine man who really would give the world to you.

A big goof. Always good for a laugh. Lost in his ways but a brother that seen too much. A son that was grieving.

We had a video of my brother flexing for the camera and suddenly grabbed his arms and said, "ouch!"

I miss clowning with him. I miss the understanding we had with each other.

A strong, hard headed breath of laughter. Competitive and himself... always himself.

My dad was a amazing father, and a even better grandfather. He was funny fun and kick ass at playing pool. He is truly missed

My favorite memory of my dad is when I used to go with him to work delivering oxygen, we used to drive talk and laugh all day long.

I will miss his smile and his support and his love for his family.

My dad would like to be remembered as a fun loveing man who plays pool better than anyone around.

He loved his family and his dog Blue. He always wanted to be just a normal kid. He loved kids and his 2 nephews.

We used to get sushi together because only the 2 of us loved it. He would send me pics when he had it when he had moved to FL in 2018.

His smile. His love for his family. He always wanted to be a normal kid.

He would love for people to know that how he died was totally accidental. He was clean for almost 2 years. He passed away from a Krotom / fentanyl overdose. He got a bad batch of krotom somehow.

She was always a happy go lucky child, she had her moments , but she loved her son and she loved her nieces and nephews , she would give the shirt off her back to help you out, never judged , loved her family more than anything..

One day we decided to dye our hair and we bought what we thought was brown dye , i did mine first and she was in the shower rinsing hers off not seeing mine yet , well it was black not brown , i remember running up to the bathroom and screaming lissa look and she saw my hair was black and i could remember the screaming coming out of her mouth , NOOOOOOOOOO , then we laughed i think that day we dyed our hair 3 times just to get it back to its normal color....

Her infectious laugh , her love for her son , her playing with the kids in the neighborhood and of course her nieces and nephews , i miss our talks , i miss our family get together s for the holidays , we would say okay only buy for the kids not her every year she would buy for all of us and we would always say thought it was just for kids she loved the gift of giving , I miss her singing in the shower , or cooking for us , I miss everything about her that would make every mother proud .....

She will be always remembered as the funniest ,

She will always be remember as the funniest Auntie that all the kids loved , even if you were not part of her family the kids always called her auntie.... The one that would go sledding , swimming , singing in the rain with the kids and the one who we do what ever she could to keep them busy...

My brother, Joe, was a very smart, handsome, and funny man. He loved his family, and was especially loved by his nieces and nephew. I learned that he helped many addicts in their recovery along the way, and was admired by many for his wisdom and wit.

I miss his sense of humor and the way he was with my children. I am terrified I will forget the sound of his voice and the feel of his hug.

I don't think he would like to be remembered in a sappy way. He wasn't a mushy person. I think he would like people to understand the effects of addiction, and that he tried to impact those he met in a positive way and help people through their struggles whenever he could.

Danielle was a free bird who loved life at its fullest! She was a wild card and a soul with a heart of gold! She is lived in through her son Landyn. Beth we love you and miss you so much. We will forever carry you with us

I miss her voice. I miss the warmth of her hug and the rasp in her voice. I miss her sisterly advice and her amazing smell. I miss the small things

Danielle Adler will always be remembered through her family and her amazing son Landyn

My daughter was bright, beautiful with a spit fire personality. She was also so kind and humble to anyone she ever met. Would give the shirt off her back to those who needed. Unfortunately she didn't think much of herself personally.

I miss her always having to have the last word no matter. She thought she was the parent since she was a bahy. She did things her way period.

Everything... Her whole existence.

As a great mother, daughter, sister and friend. She wanted to fix the world for everyone around her to live happy and in peace.

His smile, ability to make others laugh, his kindness and always willing to help others and so many other memories

He was respectful..caring ...sweet..everyone who knew him loved him

Spending holidays with him n his family

He won't be around to see his son grow up

She was an amazing soul that struggled with mental illness and addiction. She fought so hard to be loved even though everyone loved her.

Her laugh. The way she would make me laugh.

Her conversation. She opened me up to thinking outside of what is the “America Dream.” That Americans struggle and starve everyday and we do nothing. Addiction, mental illness. We want cars, houses, and money. We forgot what life is really about, taking care of each other.

As a hippy, loving, free spirit. Always ready for the next adventure.

Matt was a gregarious man who would love to hang out with family and friends. He had many friends and enjoyed many activities.
He loved the outdoors and attempted to kick his drug habit “organically” as he said in the boundary waters area.

Matt was intellectual and not afraid to challenge others during conversation. But mostly he was playful and could always be counted on for a good laugh.

Matt will be missed for his companionship and his larger than life presence at get togethers.

Matt would like to be remembered as a charming, helpful, smart, funny guy.

My Dad was a very giving and loving person. He had some mental health issues and used on and off for years starting at age 12. He was sober for 16 years in the middle of being 12 to 52. He was the least judgemental person I've ever met.

My favorite memory was when he would call me and sing to me on every birthday

I miss how well he understood me and always mad me feel better.

They would like to be remembered as always making people laugh and being a loyal person.

Lauren was a very loyal person. She spent most of her days doing for others. She had very many talents. She could shoot bow & arrows better then anyone I know. She had a outstanding love for pets especially her cat buddy.

Her laugh. Her smile. Our inside jokes. Driving around listening to no scrubs by tlc. Eating brayz at 4am after leaving after hours.
Most importantly the love she had for me! She was the only one who had in back in any and every thing. Anytime I needed her she was there with out hesitation. I really wish the world gave her more love & acceptance.

As the goofy loving person she was
