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

My brother was always my best friend, my favorite person to laugh with and always an ear to listen when his neice or nephew or sister needed him to talk to.

Listening to him playing guitar. I loved being silly with him he was so funny.

I miss picking up the phone anytime I wanted to hear his voice.

He was an easy going and very loving person. He was just a good person.

He was sweet and loving. He loved making others laugh especially his 5 younger siblings. No Matter what.

His laugh and the way when he was genuinely happy his dimple would show by his eye. And his beautiful blue eyes, my only one who had my eyes.

Everything!! Him asking me how I slept every morning. Him stealing my shoes for a minute. Watching scary movies with him and making him jump.

As someone who tried. He was someone who loved life.

Talented, funny, a loving sensitive soul. Could sing and play drums like no other. One in a million. Fiercely protective over his "girls " (me, our baby sister and our mother)

Singing together and harmonizing together. As kids growing up in trauma, all we had was each other.

His sensitive soul and big dimples when he smiled.

As a lover

My beloved 2nd born son always looked for the good in life. He was always ready with a helping hand, a meal or a dollar or 2.He lived hard, worked hard and loved everyone around him just as hard. I just wish he had realized how much he was loved too.

Always memories of that little boy that got up ready to take on the day. He loved Christmas and birthdays and any occasion to celebrate someone else’s joy. He made you want to scoop him up and hug just as hard as he hugged you back. He loved joking around and it was best when it was at someone else’s expense. My beautiful blond haired blue eyed boy had a smile that could light up the room, that’s what everyone remembers about him.

His laugh, his hugs and his I love you Ma

That he had a good heart, he helped people when he could. That he never judged anyone and could not understand how anyone could be mean to animals or children. He respected his elders and family and he never gossiped or spread bad news about anyone. He was a good man that loved his son with all his heart.

Sean was one of a kind. He could light up any rooms he walked into just with his smile. He was funny and always had a story to tell. He is so loved and very much missed every single day.

Sean had a care free spirit. He was not afraid to be his silly self no matter where he was.

I would like Sean to be remembered for the genuine person he was, and not as an addict. Sean hated being an addict, as most do. He tried so hard to fight his demons. He didnt die from addiction. He was murdered by fentanyl.

Greg was great at lifting spirits and always fooling around

Singing in the car together to songs I picked..

Having incredible conversation

As being a kind person

Having movie nights with lots of food and laughter

His laugh .his scent

Well mannered
Responsible. Open hearted amazing person

Roman loved boxing and football and his dog Remy. He will be remembered as smart, caring, hilariously funny and is missed tremendously. Forever 16. #4OVIE

I cherish every memory. From the moment you were born with a full head of hair to beatboxing, handstands, Cheeseburger dates, Nature hikes, cactus butt, best thinker, your sense of humor was a true treasure. I miss you, Roman.

I will miss laughing and joking with you. I'll miss how you took care of people. I'll miss Cuddling you and petting your hair. I'll miss your beautiful green eyes. I will miss your hugs and your hands and mischievous smile and every single thing about you until we meet in heaven.

He'd want to be remembered as ridiculously handsome, mind-blowingly smart and wickedly funny. And he will be

Bill was a fun loving guy that could always make me laugh. He will be my best friend forever. He was the light in some of my darkest days.

There are so many but most of all our "sing song days" that consisted of breaking into song if a line of that tune came up in conversation. It was ad lib impromptu hilarious. Never a dull moment with the damn yankee around!

I will miss his genuine kind nature. I will miss his sarcastic comebacks and one liners out of nowhere. The way he could call out the word of a crossword I was stuck on for hours. His big hugs and great listening skills. His awesome cooking, His cat daughter Francine Geraldine "Fancie" will forever miss his perfect petting and loving.

Bill would want to be remembered as a man that loved his family and friends. An awesome cook with excellent knife skills. A New York Giants fan that loved to fish, hunt and play golf. He was loyal and caring. A simple guy with a big heart.

James has a good heart. He loved to play jokes on you. He loved to fish. A boy in a man’s body. Always a challenge but very passionate. His life was like the Bible story, “The Little Boy -Peter-Who called Wolf”.

When he played Santa in Elementary school play. He was big for his age. When the sled (supposedly) fell off the roof in the snow, the penguins (children) had to pull him to safety (across the stage). It took five penguins (or children) to pull him across stage. So funny and adorable.

Just having him around and needing me

As THORNBERRY, the one who loved to joke around and fish.

You could see how much she cared for someone through her eyes, she was struggling and she had no one. The type of woman everyone wanted to be with her heart was as beautiful as she was and it shined through.

Way too many!!!!

There rawness how hard she loved

Strong loving person

Matt was always making people laugh and he was an amazing friend to the ones he considered his people. He gave the shirt off his back to anyone that needed it without thinking twice about it.

He would get busy doing something and while doing whatever he was doing he would be doing robotic arm dance moves and it was so funny.

His random retarded comments or just being around.

Like a good friend and amazing father and a son who tried to conquer life the best he could.

Mackenzie was a loving and beautiful person. Who loved life. And loved by anyone who knew her.

Me and her always having little innocent spats.

Her smile

By her beautiful personality.

Terry was an amazing young man, his friends called him “Everyone’s Best Friend”. Terry was loyal, loving, humorous and had a smile that lit up my world. Terry gave the best hugs and shared his heart with everyone he knew. He is greatly missed.

Terry was born , raised and died in Wisconsin. By all rights he should have been a Green Bay Packer fan, but in true Terry style his favorite football team was the Pittsburgh Steelers. Terry loved the Milwaukee Brewers, NASCAR and hockey. He was an athlete he played soccer, football, baseball and frisbee golf. He was an avid bowler and loved video games. My favorite memories of him were watching him play but I lived to see him build Lego creations with his brothers.

Terry started his life as my second child and grew up to be my favorite middle son. Terry was my son, my confidant and my friend. He was hard working and fun. I miss his beautiful blue eyes and big heart. He and I had a very sarcastic routine we practiced everyday, he was 6’5” of love and loyalty.

Terry was humble and honest. He took pride in being a little brother, a big brother and a friend. He had just become an uncle and that was his favorite role in life.

Andrew had a beautiful smile and the best laugh. He could sing, dance, and play wonderful music. But he also had a heart of gold: he cared deeply about people and had a strong curiosity to learn.

When Andrew was 12, he made a time capsule noting that his friends would remember him most for his sense of humor and always being able to find something funny. He was right! Andrew had an incredible sense of humor and was truly gifted at being able to make people laugh.

My brother wasn't just my little brother but my best friend. He was so funny and always could make you laugh. He had a smile that could light up any room.

His sense of humor

As a lover of the outdoors, and someone who fought his inner demons till the end.

Wild child, many drug arrests, would not work AA PROGR

Little kid at Christmas, visiting our home opening presents Uncle and Auntie Santa left there for her. She so loved the Cabbage Patch Kid she got.

Big and caring for her twin sons and teenage daughter

As a loving carefree girl who unfortunately became the wild child

Josh was my best friend he went many places with me made me breakfast and always swore to be the one who would care for me as I aged.

Me and him going to the movies together going out to eat and the time we went to a Toby Mac concert together.

His wonderful hugs and him always worrying about me

For his musical talent and his vast knowledge of many things he was very smart.

Hobart was always willing to help those who others shunned. He was a dedicated Father, obsessed with his 3 yr old daughter. We were true partners in life. He was a talented musician. I miss his goofy humor and infectious laugh.
