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

Michael was one of the most caring people you'd ever meet. He had a heart of gold, he was loving and compassionate, and he would give you the shirt off of his back. He had a smile bright enough to light up any room he walked into.

My favorite memory of him, is before he got sick, him and my oldest son were really close. He wanted to spend time with him any chance he got. I always replay in my head him saying "What's my little buddy doing?" And although the memory of him is fading quickly for my son, I'll be forever thankful that he was able to meet him.

My only son, my baby. He brought so much to our lives. But, could never see his own potential.

Seeing him so happy the day his son was born.

His hugs.

A hard worker who was taken to soon.

Beautiful inside and out. Blue eyes like a clear blue sky. Always caring. A loving mother. Very close to mom.

Resposible, loving respect for everyone. Liked by all. Played sports starting at a young age. Loved his job.

Very loving son,he had a great sense of humor. He would do anything you for you.

Everything!!!!

His sense of humor.

As a special son, loving,caring person.

Loving..caring.voice...Johnny Cash fan

All my memories are my favorite

His smile..His voice...

As a gentle kind soul

A quiet kid, he cherished his grandma and his kids,he would give his shirt off his back if needed, loved animals, and his family, he liked to play his ps4, and spending time with his kids, always there for his grandma and family. His corkey smile

My memory of him is the smile on his face when he watched his babies born, he loved his kids more then anything.

I will miss all the phone calls and texts, we had a love hate relationship, but it was always fun to pretend to be mad at him. I loved that he would do anything for his grandma and his kids. I miss him saying yaya mom

A loving Soul that lost his way to the demons of addiction.

Matt had a caring heart of gold for others. He would do whatever he could for others. He just didn’t have the drive to help himself. He loved all animals especially his own.

My favorite memory is when Matt got caught skinny dipping in the high school pool freshman year. Harmless fun. He was a follower so if a friend says let’s do this, he was all in for the challenge.

I will miss so many things about Matt. His text messages, his silly Facebook posts that he would tag me in or his friends. Matt had a strong knowledge of sports. I will miss him talking sports with his step dad and brothers.

He would want to be remembered by everyone sharing our stories of him.

Zach had a beautiful heart. His emotions were infectious. If he was excited, you were excited. He fought so hard to live in this world. He was so loved. If love could save a life, he would've lived forever. Rest in peace my beloved son.

My favorite memory is Christmas 2015. The whole family was together in Florida. The 1st night me and Zach and the girls went to the beach. Full moon. Zach and I on the beach and talked and laughed at his sisters running around in the water. The next day was lunch and family pictures on the pier. So glad we took those pictures. Then back at grandma's. We had 2 tables set for a small dinner. The "kids" at 1. Parents and grandparents at the other. Zach had his little nephews laughing so hard.

His smile, his eyes. The way he lit up the room. His goofy laugh. Just his presence in general.

His style. He loved getting dressed. Gooci. He was wild and always so much fun. But always was there to help when he could. He had a heart of gold. Like so many of our loved ones who struggled through this life. Omgsh, his charisma. He would brag that he could sell water to the ocean. And how he was Facebook famous.

My son struggled with bi-polar and substance abuse his entire life. He died of a probable overdose the day he got out of jail. No one tried to save him. He was not found until a month later. I love him so much.

When he was little all are walks and him riding his big wheel to the park. Pkaying tball and fishing. He loved football. Minnesota Vikings were his Team.

I will miss his smile and laugh. Our long talks. His huge heart for others. His hugs. Just his presence. The world in my eyes will never be the same. He will always be my little boy. IHe was so smart he could accomplish anything he wanted. I will miss watching movies and grilling out. Just Mom and Son time. He is my forever Angel.

Stephen would want people to know he tried his best. He hoped that when he spoke at the High School about his strugggle with drugs, that he helped someone choose a different path and save their life. Remember he loved everyone and always had their back. He was true to his word. Even though he wasn't a dad biologically. He was a great dad to his girlfriends kids. They meant everything to him. His sister who he called frog was his best friend. He loved her so much. He loved his Mom so much.

He had a faithful heart and loved music, writing, skateboarding.

Jacob gave the best hugs of anyone. He loved people and he loved God.

His smile and the way he enjoyed making us laugh.

As a writer of music, and a person who loved his friends.

my son grew up as a military child, moved all over the world and made friends from all walks of life. He loved his family, the outdoors and had a strong desire to study history and to have his own family. He was an artist, a hunter and a fisherman

His smile, laugh, love for family and always a helpful hand to a friend in need. He adored his dog Delilah and his grandma, sister. He was my loving, sweet, funny son and he loved me. He knew I was always there for him

everything, but his smile and laugh. Just hearing his voice. His phone calls, good or bad

As a loving friend to those that knew him. His huge heart and that although he struggled with addiction, he never lost faith

He was passionate, very loving husband and best friend. No matter his struggle he looked for the beauty in others .

Being here...... we use to talk for hours and make plans. We figured out life together. Our children and grandchildren . He made us feel safe and not alone. I miss his smile and his silly laugh! I miss doing life with him.

A husband, father, son and a brother that tried. Fun loving and with a big heart for those he loved.

Steve was one of the most caring individuals. His heart was made of pure gold. He would've given anyone anything they needed unselfishly. He was gunned down in a drug deal and the killer remains at large.

Laughing til we'd cry. Singing loudly in the car even when we didn't know the words. Spending our first Christmas together.

Everything.

Steve would want to be remembered by how wonderful he truly was. How helpful he was to others.

He was always grandma’s boy.

Wonderful caring gorgeous sweet man who had a terrible alcohol addiction

Hanging at home cooking together, playing with our cat, watching TV, listening to music

His smile, his voice, his hugs..everything

That he was his own man on his own journey and that he lived his life his way

Joe was such a loyal person to the core. If he was your friend, you were his friend in good or bad times, no matter what you could do for him. I have yet to meet another person with his character
