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

Larry was a great kid with a good personality and a great big heart u either liked him or u didn’t there was no in between

Everything

Everything but mostly his laughter

Caring compassionate, thought about others before himself

His laugh and his humor

Everything

Lisa Jo had the most beautiful and caring personality. She loved everybody and everybody loved her.

Keegan was fun and full of life. He loved giving his siblings a hard time but made sure they knew he loved and cared for them.
Keegan was also a good friend. He was ride or die for his best pals.

Keego and his brother were the best of friends. They would always take a daily walk together and just love being around each other.

Everything. His good heart, his smile, his stupid jokes. He wasn't the best person in the world, he made mistakes, but he had a heart that was filled with love for his family and friends and it showed.

Keegan probably wouldn't want everyone crying and fussing about him, honestly. Keego would want his mom and siblings to know that they had a good time together, and he loves them, but he'll see them again someday. He'll always be there in their hearts.

A precious soul with a terrible disease, my daughter had a loving heart of gold. She was in so much pain from loss and was getting high to deal with the pain. I miss her so much. Fly high Bran and rest easy.

We went to a dog show and had a ball because she wanted to see why I loved the shows so much. She wanted to be supportive of me. I always watched on TV and had never been to one in person. I am one lucky mom to have been blessed with such a loving daughter.

She was my best friend and I miss talking to her on the phone and just having her around.

As a caring, loving, and generous person and good mom, sister and daughter. An animal lover and activist who had a wonderful sense of humor and would give anyone the shirt off her back.

He was an amazing brother, full of life and had a great sense of humor..big heart and so kind

I have so many..he always made me laugh

Not seeing him hearing his voice, his big laugh..

By his big heart

Lover of cars, mountains and dogs. Before addiction changed him he had so many friends and spread laughter everywhere he went.

Dragging the main on weekends

How much I adored him before he changed

Seeing his smile

She was a ray of sunshine, a beautiful soul. Intelligent and humorous. She was my baby sister. She's the girl everyone wants to be friends with. She was happy on the outside but broken on the inside. I miss my baby sis even though i was hard on her

So many but most definitely anytime she laughed because it made me laugh
Hers was so contagious. My best memory would have to be when we were kids. We were best friends

EVERYTHING.....
LITERALLY EVERYTHING. even the tough times between family.
I'll never not miss you😭

Her vibrant smile, contagious laugh and her beautiful soul

Tender hearted , wild but loving and loved his kids

Everything

My first born, my Sunshine. Loved helping others & had a heart of Gold. He loved me unconditionally & I loved him the same. His brother was his 'person's & his sister, a best friend. His children were his heart & their mom his forever love.

From the day he was born his "firsts" for everything were my favorite memories. When he was 4 he said he would marry me some day. When he got older he said I was his "Ride or Die & his "Concrete Angel." The day he held his first born son he cried & said to me, "You love me like THIS?" His heart almost exploded in his chest knowing that & he broke down. The day he accepted Jesus into his heart was an answered prayer for me.

I miss his smile, his laugh & his heart. I miss his hugs horribly. I miss watching him with his children. I miss the sound of his voice & how he would call me momma. I miss him checking in to let me know he is alright & always saying "I love you more" before he hung up the phone. I miss just having him around. I miss the times he wanted to just do "normal" things with me. I miss everything we never got to experience together.

I believe Coty would want everyone to remember the good times. He would want everyone to remember that even though he was tough, he had a very soft heart. He would want people to know that his choices were his alone & that no one is to blame. He would want us all to remember he did the best he could with what he had & he loved us all regardless of being bound by addiction. He would want us to focus on the love he had for us & not the hard times or sadness of him being gone.

Luke was one of the best people you could know. He could brighten your day no matter what was wrong. He always knew how to cheer you up. If he was your friend he was the truest friend you had. He is very loved and missed.

One year for his birthday while working together at Amazon I brought him cheesecake and had them do a birthday shoutout at stand up in front of everyone.

I miss being able to pick up the phone when I need someone to talk to. He always knew how to cheer me up. I miss his laugh and his beautiful smile..

He loved his family & friends to the fullest

Angelina "Michelle" Gipson was brilliant, hilarious, generous, and very beautiful. We miss her every day!

Laughing with her was one of the greatest things in my life.

My brother was a shining star, his glow was snuffed out by his addiction on 01/30/2020. Nathan loved cats & was an avid skateboarder. He loved drawing and was a skilled carpenter.

Fourth of July on N. Street. Nathan made a sparkler bomb so loud that the car alarms in the neighborhood went off! We had a really good day that day.

I miss Nathan’s smile & laugh. When he would laugh, everyone would. Nate’s laugh was so infectious, and made you instantly happy.

For the skilled, funny, awesome person Nathan was before his addiction. For everything he was before drugs robbed him of everything that he loved and had going for him. Nathan was more than just his addiction, he was a human being who was so loved and cared for.

A kind, loving soul who was always a friend to whomever she met. Will to give to others no matter what.

Our daughters greatest passion was softball..Her dream had been to be the first female Yankee baseball.

Her smile, her eagerness to help others and her love for children.

She would want others to know that she did not mean to hurt anyone, she did not mean to seem selfish and she had wish that her illness and death left her children, her parents, her brother and so many family and friends with so much hurt and sorrow. The demons just wouldnt let her go.

My hero, first man to love me unconditionally and taught me the good parts of myself.

His wisdom, love and having a dad and grandpa for my girls.

Aubri was the warmth of the sun and the glow of the stars! She was a loving daughter, sister and mom. She could change the attitude of any room she walked into and her smile brought happiness to all. She truly cared about everyone.

Thecwaybshevwould say her name because people would mistake her name for Audrey. As a little girl she would put her hand on her hip and say my name is Aubri Dawson Welsh and spell out her name A-U-B-R-I with the cutest little attitude.

Everything...her heart and soul, her smile, her way of making everything better just by being her

As a good person who cared for others. Kind and loving

He had a beautiful soul. He was helpful & thoughtful.

He always made a big deal out of my birthday 🧡 going to the movies & dinner. My favorite blonde headed boy.

I miss seeing him show up early every sunday to come do yard or garden work. I miss the way he loved me as his mom & tried his best to always make me proud.

That he was a hardworker, a loyal friend, the best dad, son & brother he could possibly be. We were all better with him in our lives.
