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

A heart of gold contagious smile and laughter

Everything

Matt was a very loving , caring and beautiful soul. He was a friend to many and loved by anyone whoever met him. Family meant everything. He was shamelessly Funny.

There are so many. But my favorite is when he was little and tell me he loved me and I would say I love you more and he would say I love you forever and I would reply I LOVE YOU TO INFINITY AND BEYOND!

His smile. His brilliant blue eyes. His laugh. His love and him calling me Mother.

As a loving , compassionate and caring Person, who wanted to achieve sobriety so he could help others with substance abuse disorder.

My son loved to joke,and laugh. He got his first car on his own he was so proud loved to work loved kids. He loved his family so much. He smiled and the room lights up.

When he received his first raise he took me out to dinner he was smiling from ear to ear and joking around we laughed so much. My son would wake up just to hug me before work and I never left any where without him saying I love you mom

His smile his voice his hugs, him!! His caring approach

He always liked to make everyone laugh

Loving caring soul. Great smile. My first born my first love gone too soon

when he was 3 I told him he had to sleep Santa was on his way and showed him a glowing red light and said here he comes thats Rudolph's nose...

Everything. His smile his laugh his hugs he always told me I was beautiful because I looked like him.

1 that really sticks out 2 me... he was about 3 or 4, his grandpa took him to McDonalds early one morning. All of the older gentleman were there eating breakfast & socialing. One came up to him in grandpa style and held out his hand. Trey, stuck out his hand too, to shake the gentleman’s hand. He asked what his name was. Trey responded back with a big smile and said,, “Dr Eisman”. Filled that mans heart with a tickle. Trey wanted better from an early age. He didn’t choose addiction.

I will forever miss the laugh, the smile and the hugs that he shared with everyone. He was so loving.

Trey would like to be remembered by his love for ALL, his clothing style (He could pull off the craziest wardrobe) and his ability to make people break a rib laughing. He smiled when the clouds made you wanna cry. He was a brother to many, young and old alike. He loved his family and fought like hell to stay sober.

Special Angel....

Never being able to hear her voice, touch her skin, look into her eyes or share my heart thoughts....

Most loving son, cared about & helped everyone- even strangers. Huge animal lover & rescuer. Told great stories. When he walked in a room he was always the center of attention. Loved by all❤

A customer of his told us John was working for him one day and he told John he had just lost his wife of 42 years. My son put his tools down, walked over to the man, put his arms around him and just held him. He said, with tears in his eyes that he will never forget it and that he prays for John every day

His load, booming laugh and his huge hugs! His laughter was infectious! Always had a funny story to tell and his expressions while telling a story! He would act it out as he told it and everyone in the room would be hysterically laughing with him! So full of life & joy! Never a dull moment!

As someone you could count on day or night. Someone who would listen & never judge. Someone who would never listen to gossip and would always have your back. But most of all someone who loved the New York Yankees & his big belly!

Marissa was my sunshine, she was kind, loving and had a heart of gold. She loved her daughter more than anything in this world!

Going shopping and just enjoying each other’s company with no distraction.

Everything..... especially her thoughtfulness.

As a mother that tried her hardest to save her baby girl.

Always the sweetest guy in the room. Always there for me no matter the time of day, what he was doing or where he was. Amazing father. Wonderful friend.

2 weeks before his passing, he spent the night with me. How much fun he always had with his friends and how he was always smiling! I will cherish those memories forever.

How much he always kept ke involved in his life. Whether I wanted to know what he was doing or not, no matter if I didn't aprove or would get upset. For always being a person who was there for everyone and what a wonderful dad he was.

As a great father and friend.

He was the greatest son ever, awesome sense of humor and loved his son more than anything. Vincent is greatly missed

His humor and laugh

Everything

He was a kind young man who played hard but loved even harder

Jeremy was my one and only-we were together 25 years ever since I was 16. We have 3 beautiful strong children Luke 23, Austen 17, Rebekah 10. We grew together and i always thought we'd grow old together. There wasn't anything Jeremy couldn't do.

So many - i guess mostly how much he loved me and our children.

Watching him with the kids - seeing the love in his eyes.

Her art was elaborate, passionate, and fiery, an unspoken expression of her sweet and troubled soul.

We enjoyed watching Game of Thrones together. She was obsessed!

Her beautiful brown eyes, her razor-sharp sense of humor, her enormous intelligence and artistic ability. Everything.

Alexis was a talented artist and wanted to use art to help others. She was a champion of the underdog and the oppressed.

So sweet, but don’t mess with her friends or family. Bright,smart, determined.

Everything

Sensitivity, great smile, loved his family especially his nephews and baby niece. Great guitar player, won numerous trophies in wrestling in middle school,loved and missed by all. Someone took this gentle soul from us by selling him the poison Fentanyl.

His great hugs, sparkling eyes and sense of humor.

I miss everything about him. His smell, smile touch, hugs, voice. Life is forever changed with his passing. The absence of his light dimmed mine forever. I will never get past the loss of my youngest son who is forever 25.

His love for family and friends. His giving nature and undying sensitivity. His effortless guitar playing leaves an indelible talent of memories which will never fade

The most beautiful person I have ever met inside and out. She had the biggest heart as well always cared for everyone else before herself. She touched many lives, and she left a lasting impression when she walked in a room. She was one of a kind.

Would be watching her dance it was so natural and she loved it.

Being by my side through life, not having the confidence i once had when she was alive.

The most perfect smile and the prettiest face i have ever seen.

She broke her back, was in hospital almost a year, it started from there and ended with her death in 2011, due to multiple drugs, years of struggling, years of failure, She would feed a animal and not eat herself,if it came to that.

The man across the street caught some ducks. He caged them and told her he was gonna eat them. She offered to buy them, he said no. So she let them loose and we chased them they were squeaking and we were screaming, but we took them to a lake and released them.....Quakers...

Her hugs...

As a good person, not just a junkie...a dreamer,a grandma,a daughter, a sister, a helper, a fighter,

From coming from a not so great childhood, my little brother went on to achieve great things and saw many places..he lived a great life in his short life.

Everything...
His laughter

Knowing that drugs killed him...i will miss every little thing.

Not to cry, to be nice to everyone you meet.

Always cared so much for others and tried to lift them up even when he was struggling badly. Kind, caring, loved by many but did not feel it. Always felt like he was not good enough and couldn't see the greatness within him.

His smile, his sense of humor, his presence.

Christopher was a hard working very loving man! He fought so hard to succeed, but unfortunately he lost his battle.

The last time I saw him and he was so incredibly happy and in a very good place!

Him telling me how much he loved and appreciated all my sacrifices to try to make our lives better and his big bear hugs!

As a man who fought hard to be the best he could be, as a loving son and a great cousin, brother and friend.
