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

My first born... we grew up together, I had him in high school. He was the best thing that ever happened to me. He changed my life for the better. Nobody ever made me laugh more then him.

He was a fabulous at Impersonating actors... especially Jim Carey movies.
Ace Ventura..... the way he told stories.
He would make fun of me in a loving way and all my kids would laugh like crazy.

Everything! His beautiful face, his big smile his funny sense of humor.
Our friendship. we would dance to rap music all the time.
Just his presence

He was much more then his addiction.
He was a loving father, a great big brother. Loving son and a great friend to all. He was a artist., in the army, an iron worker... funny and sweet so many Loved him especially his baby girl .

Justus was always making people laugh. He was so intelligent and artistic. He loved music and writing . He would proudly tell anyone that he was a mamas boy.

My favorite memory is being with him when his son was born and watching my baby boy hold his baby boy for the first time.

His smile, his funny way of calling out to me . Hey mamas..I will most miss him being in his sons life watching and helping him grow into a man.

As always loving his family .

Billy was a privilege to have on my life. He loved God his family and his dog and cat Louie and Wilson. He was loving sensitive and caring. His heart was as big as the world. He filled our lives with joy and his infectious laughter. We miss him

His graduation from chefs school

Everything

By his love of God and his loyalty to his family and his best friends

My Uncle Big Jim, 'Lone Wolf ' Richardson was my mentor and friend. He loved me unconditionally. He was a complex man but he had the kindest heart when he let it show. He lived life with abandon. He was one of a kind and I will love him always.

He taught me about my Native heritage and religion.

His huge smile that reached deep into his eyes and his never ceasing validation of me along with his truly unconditional love.

As a warrior and a medicine man who lived life honestly.

David was always thinking about helping others by giving empty bottles or cans they can collect or just sharing food. He had a kind heart when it shined through and always fought for his kids .

I just loved watching him and our son together him teaching him how to fish or tie a shoe .

I miss that David was doing so good he was on the better path I ever seen him on and getting things in order also we were making light of him and I making the families whole .

Please remember the good that David show through any darkness we saw cause he's gone now and there's no reason to hold on to that let him rest in peace . Love you David more than you know and myself cause in the end it hurt it hurts and you will forever be a piece of my soul

Vanessa's battle was the saddest because even though we knew she relapsed, asked (begged) her to get help, she would not admit she had. Her son will always know how much she loved him but the disease was just too powerful.

Watching her with her son, born at 28 weeks, and her strength for him.

Our talks

my son loved like no other. a very loving guy.loved his two boys loved to listen to music and go fishing. Always happy. Walk in a room and make everyone smile,

listen to him sing,He loved scaring me.also flick my ears.his smile contagious.

Being at home.here for holidays.?

Tgat he loved his family and friends,

Devon was a child of many talents, he was a peer counselor to those suffering depression, he was in college for a Medical Assistant and movie producer. He loved his Mom and Sister Lexi with great enthusiasm.

We went to Cozumel Mexico and Devon was the funniest ever. Devon stole the show wherever we went.

I miss Devons smile, and his integrity. His dry humor as well.

To reach out to anyone with addiction and depression. To be there and seek treatment where you can.. To always talk to them when they have any issue.

Derek was very loving family oriented man who just adored his beautiful daughter. Derek's main goal was to succeed in life for his family. Derek grew up in a tight family loving his brother grandparents and cousins. Derek had a bigheart full of love

The look on his face when he came out of delivery room to tell us it was a GIRL!! The love in in face was something my husband and I will never forget.

Derek's laugh, smile, voice and most importantly his hugs.

As a loving man who cared deeply for his family and friends.

My brother, Elvis Ariel was the warmest, most loving guy a person could ever meet. His infectious laugh lit up any room he walked in and his bright smile always made my day.

I want people to remember him as the fighter that he was. He fought so hard, for so long, and never gave up. I want those to honor him as a lovable guy, Elvis would do anything for his son and loved ones.

Loved by all

Don't know which one to pick.

Total randomness. Always made me laugh.

As a good person.

Loved by many the most amazing spirit you could ever meet. A smile that is as radiant as the sun

Every memory of her is my favorite

I miss everything about her she is my best friend

Happy go lucky charismatic full of love and energy

The demons with the alcohol got to be too much for him. He is at peace now and not suffering anymore. He is in God's arms.

He would always take me miniature golfing. And we would always go to the movies together.

His goofy laugh. And all the I love you, I will never hear again. The daily phone calls I shall never have again.

When he was sober he had a heart of gold. He was always there for me. He was always there to help his family and friends. His son was his world.

She was a firecracker full of love and cuss words ! If you don't want the blunt truth , don't ask Johanna. She was the sister God sent me

We met as pen pals, then later met in person . That nightwe met after dinner it was raining and we danced and played in the rain like little girls

I will miss her calls or random texts telling me she has to pee 🤣 it's a hilarious inside joke and to look down at your phone and someone just texts " hey ! I gotta peeeeeee"

A hardworker, trusted and honest, inspiring to others

Locking me out of the house when he was a little boy

Our talks, his laugh, his smell, his phone calls

Notre Dames number one fan, he broke the chain of addiction in his family, he loved music

Jesse loved life. He loved his family and friends He could ALWAYS put a smile on your face and had a great sense of humor.

There's to many to count

His infectious laugh

Her late night phone calls to me after work

The good she always did her big heart

Beautiful person inside and out.she had a giving heart,she lite up a room when she enter it . funny,caring,loving,She never really knew how beautiful she was.

Funny, always the life of the party. Caring for others. Loved his twin boys more than anything.
