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

Scott was a best friend to many. A loving son A truly caring individual. He just bought a house, engaged to be married, had a wonderful prosperous career. A man of many talents. Over 200 people attended his funeral which was held 24 hours after his passing, with so many people giving tributes to him. He had struggles in life which led him astray, sadly he tried so hard to quit the addiction many times. He was about to be married, had a full life planned. The heroin called him back one last time. Now he is my angel son. A mothers love is forever.

The whole belly laughs

Talking on the phone about life, making future plans.

A friend to all and compassionate son

He is the most amazing man in the world he would give you his last dollar

Oh my well all of them the day he told me that he loves me

The conversation,being present being able to be me

Everybody loved when Nic was around when he walked in a room his smile was from ear to ear, and just so inviting and warm that everybody loved him.

I miss the fact that he couldn’t be here to see his two boys grow up for both of them and him. My favorite memory of him.

He was a good soul with a heart of good everyone loved him.

Going to Shawnee park in the summer

How sociable he was. Everyone knew him. Such a wonderful man

As an advid animal lover and all around friend to everyone

He was a very protective son and brother and a loving father. He was a great friend to many who knew him. When he loved he loved BIG.

Lindsey was a beautiful woman inside and out, everybody loved her. She made everybody feel special. She had the greatest sense of humor.

Our fishing trip to Lake Chautauqua

The way she could always make me laugh, she was my best friend.

That she fought a long hard battle and never once made excuses for her shortcomings or failures.

Matt was so outgoing and fun. He always made you laugh. He enjoyed outdoors, camping, racing, fishing.

Watching him play Tball

His smile, laughter

Fun, loving and caring who would do whatever you asked of him.

Spencer is missed everyday. He loved life. He wanted to be better and do better. He deserved better.

He used to love coming to my house in the “country” and doing all of the country thing.

Everything

As someone who was more than their addiction

Justin 💙 was LOVED so very much by our entire family. He was a gift from God from day 1. He was so handsome and just was over taken by addiction. He is missed so very much 💙

He loved his older sister so very much. He danced with her, cheered with her & idolized his sister 🩷🩵

I will miss answering my phone to..."hey, what's up"...the sound of his voice...his laugh...and his love for his son Jackson.

He would love to be remembered through music his favorite bands..Blue Oyster Cult...Led Zepplin. He also would want us to to leave a memory of him at Tarrywhile.....our family's special retreat close to home.

One of the kindest,thoughtful loving people. Hardworking and skilled carpenter. He was my gentle giant. Who gave the best hugs. He was a sweet soul who was there for anyone who needed him. If he only loved himself as much as we loved him.

My favorite memories where anytime we went somewhere together we would laugh and he had the cutest smirk. So many memories but the one I cherish most is the way he would hug us and love myself and his brothers .

I will miss the times when my 3 sons and me would be together and we would laugh and they would joke with each other. I miss that I will never have my boys all together again. Our family will forever be changed.

Just as I described him. Not defined as an addict but who he was a wonderful son father brother he was a kind hard working gentle soul

Looked at the positive side to every situation, and always had my back ❤️

There are so many, but the one that really stands out is when his nephew was born and he was the best Uncle to him and bragged about him that his favorite toy was a book! He was so proud of him

Being there for me to cheer me up and make me laugh and talk when I needed someone

Good, Honest, Upstanding guy with a heart of gold, that would do anything for anyone, and how much he loved his family!

He has a beautiful sole, always willing to help others before himself.

Can’t just pick one memory!

Mary was a great friend and an awesome mom. She struggled with addiction after suffering domestic abuse.

In jail sharing coffee

Her laugh

As a great friend and mom

Tyler was my youngest of 3. He was my baby and my only son. He was a kind loving son and brother to his 2 sisters.

My favorite memory of him was when we went to Florida and it was his birthday. He wanted to take a ride on a power boat. It was a great day and being on the water was so beautiful.

The thing I miss most about Tyler is how he could make us all laugh. He was such a funny guy and I feel like when he died the laughter faded.

Tyler would want to be remembered for his kindness. He would do anything to help anyone.

Amber was kind, had a big heart. She was funny and goofy. She was the best daughter anyone could have.

We were always together,riding around,shopping and hanging out with her friends

Just the way she was

His friends were his family alway there for them always found the positive in everything Forever 23💜

Whenever he entered a room the party started

Saying hey Bro sorry mom love you mom the roar of his muffler

Yolo you only live once live life to the fullest
