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

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

He loved with all his heart, great friend and an amazing son

The day he was born and every day after that

His hugs

Fun and adventurous

Charmaine was always loving, caring, funny, and she for such a giving soul she would help anyone in need, she loved her babies with all our heart and fought her addiction but lost the battle. We miss the laughter but she brought into our lives

I has her mother miss her infectious smile and the laughter that she would spread out through the house and anyone that met her

I will miss the fact that she doesn't get to see what wonderful children she brought into this world

I know that Charmaine would love to be remembered as a soft and gentle kind person and that this world was too ugly for her and now she flies High and free that her struggle is over and she's no longer in pain

Kind. Beautiful. Sweet. Loving

Their childhood

Everything

Beautiful. Happy

He was my brother, hero and protector! He was generous to a fault, helped anybody who needed it, even when it meant him going without. He loved his dogs, especially Solomon and Duke!

He used to call me "punk" in a very endearing way! I really miss that alot. Every so often he would give me $50-$100 for no reason at all! The last time we hung out, he took me to Texas Roadhouse for dinner. He had never been there and we both enjoyed it so much!

I miss him calling me punk! I miss his unconditional love! I'm sad he didn't get to meet his last great niece and nephew! I miss his grumpy days too!

Kind, generous,helped friends and family whenever he could. Good heart! Great roofer! Good uncle to my kids! Loved his dogs!

She was the best mommy, sister, daughter, & friend. Her loyalty stood above most & she loved with her entire heart. Her smile was radiant & her laughter could fill a room. She was my light & my best friend.... my other half. Nobody will ever compair.

Everything.... but one memory sticks out the most.... my nanny put curling rods in our hair one night b4 school.. well needless to say, the next morning, we looked like brunette poodles. Lol We were only maybe 5 and 9 yrs old at the time but her & I gleamed with excitement at our new hair. We climbed onto that bus smiling from ear to ear...... all I knew that day was my hair matched my sissy's & we were the prettiest girls ever!! She will always be my idol!!

Everything!!! I miss absolutely everything about her!! I miss her smile, her guidance, her laughter, her strength, her stories, EVERYTHING! But mostly, I miss having "my person!" I miss being able to call her & I miss having her by my side! I miss MY PERSON!!!

Im sure she's want to be remembered by her loyalty, her love for her family, & her unconditional love for her babies!! Her 2 babies were her life! They were her entire existence & if I had to guess I'd say she would want to be remembered as a beautiful, stunning, devoted mommy, sister, daughter, & friend who loved sunflowers, The Pittsburgh Steelers, &Ohio State Buckeyes. She was all black & yellow, black & yellow..........

Brad fought this disease with all he had right up to the very end. His message to others, would be, “Never give up.”

He loved to pay for the person’s food behind him in drive-thru lines. He loved helping others in anyway he could!

We miss his bear hugs, his booming laugh and bright smile.

As a great father, loving son and loyal friend.

My son was a kind, caring young man.He helped everyone. He was a wonderful brother and son. His death has left a whole in all our hearts. He was way to young to die.

There are so many memories, he was a character. One funny memory was of him trying to bite his ear. It was a joke but we would always laugh.

Everything, his laugh, his smile, calling me MaMa

As a carefree spirit, an adventurer

always my baby boy

My love, I’ve been blessed to have you. You’re my soulmate. The best times of my life were shared with you. You’ve been my support and friend through hard times, and through you I found myself. Be happy, my son. Love life.

Mom. (July 2000)

He had the biggest heart. Always loves life. Knew how to make my day. Barbering was his passion. He had a gift. Loved to make me smile. Connected to everyone he meet. Loved fishing and the beach. Adventurous. Had this contagious laugh.

I will miss everything. His beautiful smile. His I love you momma. His text. His energy. His stories.

As someone who made a difference. He left a mark in this world. He touched every life he came to contact with. He was a beautiful person inside and out.

He was such a kind hearted soul, loved by so many , a amazing Father,loved fishing,

Everything about him ,he showed true love and joy

Everything, my only child, I'll never hear ,I love you Momma, I'll never see his handsome face, I'll never get hugs and kisses,

A wonderful Father,

Jake was an amazing child. He was so much more intelligent than he gave himself credit for. He fiercely protected his family members. He loved fishing. He had a playful personality and would do anything to help those less fortunate.

Watching him play outside in the woods as a child. He loved being outdoors exploring.

I will miss his hugs, the talks we used to have, and all of our special mother/son moments.

Jake would like to be remembered as someone who cared so much about his close family members, his love for fishing, and his passion for the things that interested him.

My Friend Cody, he was smart, funny and caring, he was one of the bestest friends anyone could ever have

when we were in class, my teacher told some people to stop talking, he said that's racist and everyone laughed, another one is when we were playing with this rc car and he drove it under his dads cars tyre and his dad went forward and smashed it, he started to cry and his dad got very angry.

His humour, it was so good he could make you laugh without even trying

A ceremony with army people shooting their weapons in the air, people doing burnouts in their vehicles, and bogans drinking vb beers

The most amazing man I knew he had a heart of gold it was so strong so patience so kind so loving

My favorite memory of my father every year for Christmas and New year's Eve he would buy me the most beautiful dress

What I miss the most is being able to sit down and talk to him

As a soldier a father and a loving husband
