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

His smile and wit and curiosity for the world

As a jokester

Everything

He was a loving and very giving soul.. He had a wonderful sense of humor that would have you laughing hysterically.. Even on your worst day..

I have too many wonderful memories to mention.. But will always stand out is the love that he had for his children and family..

I miss everything about him but especially his sense of humor..

He was a very loving and caring person and would want to be remembered for that.. Not for his addiction..

Adam had a heart of love and giving. He may have struggled, but he was always there for his family & friends no matter what. We miss him so much.

His smile ,laugh and hugs.an how hel loved.

His wisdom and our talks

For his good hat he did, and his time that he was clean, and the AWESOME DADDY he was

She had a big heart. She never knew a stranger. She was a fighter till the end.

Her birth on Christmas day. Her killing the Easter Bunny, Her wedding day. The day she found out she was pregnant with her first child.

Everything...her laugh her smile. That she won't get to see her son grow up. Her yelling "I am back!" The sound of her voice.

He was a wonderful.soul. He became depressed when we lost Shawn. He dove head first into addiction. It was a 5 year battle that he sadly lost.

I have so many!

His humor, his loyalty, his unconditional love. He had a heart as big as he was! He was very tall with long arms & he gave the best hugs. He tried to come see me every day. I miss feeding him & doing his laundry. I miss the son he was for me. I miss watching him with his children.

As a loyal friend a dedicated son & dad. He would want to be remembered as he was before addiction stole his sole & joy.

Wouldnt talk bad about anyone even when he had reasons to. Loved me at my worst and my best. He always looked out for his family and best dad a girl can have.

So many but the best one is him on a blanket in the park, 2 months old smiling and making us smile

Any time of day or night if I needed him he was there fixing anything I needed .cooking and even baking for me and seeing him with his daughter not bring afraid to change her diaper, feeding her, and calling her princess every single day,

As a man who turned chef, mechanic, electrician, humble and a great father

Even when he was down and out he still tried to make everyone smile

Acting goofy with his kids and family

Their forgiveness they gave to others

As an eternal soul, their infectious smile, their willingness to forgive people, their love for life.

The Day our son was born!

Trent lit up any room he walked into. He would rather the sun cast upon you, rather than himself. He had a insatiable zest for life and lived it to the fullest. His love for surfing and any water sports was paramount. And those eyes. Unforgettable.

Our surfing trips we shared as a family. His spirit, his love for helping others in the recovery community.

Everything.

The way he lived life to the fullest. Do what you love, because tomorrow isn’t promised. In the end, he would rather slide in and say” what a ride!” Celebrate my life, ride that wave!

My son was a gentleman with a kind loving soul.

His beautiful brown eyes were a window to his soul and heart.

Addition took a hold of my son and he fought with all his strength to survive

Jimmy was in ice skates at the age of 3 by age of 4 he was playing ice hockey. I will always remember going to watch him practice and play.

The day his son was born he realized what true love was. Especially, since his son was his namesake. He was so proud

The ability to make me laugh
The ability to quote movie lines
Knowledge of history
His love for his son
His warm embrace

Danny boy struggled with untreated anxiety and depression throughout his life. Self medicated initially with alcohol. Later in life started using benzodiazepines then herion wbich took his precious life.

Smile, kindness, and being helpful.

Not seeing him on this earth.

As a good person who couldn't beat the struggle of addiction.

all are my favorite memories ❤

everything ❤

As A Good Hearted Person A Good Friend A Good Daddy The Best Brother Ever

Aaron was an addict. He died in prison of an overdose of heroin and fentanal. There had been no visitation because of covid. The employees are responsible for bringing drugs in. Rehabilitation not incarceration

When he would spend the night. My husband worked till 3am, Aaron would hide and jump out and scare my husband.

Hearing his voice and laughter. Going to visit him in prison and watching him enjoy all the food from the vending machines.

As a kind caring person that loved his family. He had a good heart that gave to others the encouragement to stay positive. He made friends and enjoyed making people laugh.

Heart of Gold....loved his family and friends...loved working outside...so close to his mother!!

His beautiful smile..

His phone calls everyday...his telling me I love you!!

Jason was my first born. He was kind, intelligent, loving and considerate. He had a promising future and a family that love him more than words can express.

Rest in Peace, my son. You are always in our thoughts and forever in our hearts.

One of my favorite memories is when Jason and his fiancee visited me in Mississippi. This was the last time I saw him.

Joey had a huge smile that lit up his face. He was was a devoted father and son. He was very protective of this loved one and is missed every second of every day. He was much more than an addiction he was a great man and friend.

His smile, his random singing, his knowledge of fixing cars, him being here on holidays and birthdays.

I think Joey would like to be remember for being a great dad. He would want people to know they had a great bond and he took care of him primarily. He would like to be remember as just Joey and not by the struggles of his addiction.

Dustin got an infection in his spine a few years ago. He was a quadriplegic but was gaining back strength. He could use his arms and was determined to walk again someday. Unfortunately, that day never came.

Just his goofy humor and his positive outlook on life, even being in the position he was in. He would always cheer others up and would be upbeat and strong.

His Facebook posts. I think all of his friends looked forward to hearing from him every day. I will miss him messaging me the updates with his health. He was SO excited to start walking again.

As a strong, handsome guy with the biggest heart in the world. His life mattered and he was important.

La'Chae had a heart of gold her smile would light up a room

giving me her children to raise

her laugh and smile
