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

Ryan loved everyone and made it his goal to make everyone around him feel loved! He went out of his way to make your day better.

When Ryan lived in California he flew home to surprise me for my birthday. We were at the annual family reunion when a car pulled up to the park and out jumped Ryan! And when for Christmas he had a Cheese Cake Factory cheesecake flown in from Chicago. Or when we were at the HOM store and he was dancing in the aisles as we looked at rugs - he needed a new rug for his new apartment. There are so many memories.

I miss all of him. His smile, his positive outlook, his love of life.

Amazing girl. Had dreams and goals fought so hard to be clean and one slip up cost her her life

Going to gay pride. Going to narcotics anonymous meetings

Her smile, her voice

Sharing with addicts that one is to many and. Thousand is never enough. Anyone can get and stay clean!

Beautiful Gypsy Soul

Every one of them

Everything

Being that person who always lifted people up even when he was down.

He was always full of useless information that made you stop and think Loved his beautiful mind and heart

When he was younger he always tried to make people laugh and usually did!!!

His Hugs and his not being embarrassed about showing his Mama love no matter who was around

A beautiful soul who left this earth too soon. A void in our lives but always a place in our hearts and memories

Christmas holidays

Sweet smile and concern for others

A caring person

Great human

His smile

His favorite saying -I know mom!!

Great friend!!

He was a loving person , with a great sense of humor. Wonderful son. Suffered from addiction

Always having a smile

His wonderful love for everyone

Loving, compassionate, comical and being a friend to all

My brother had a big heart. He was caring and loved his nieces and nephews so much. He loved playing football, he was captain his senior year of high school and also was homecoming king . He loved the cotton eye Joe dance

His presence at family parties and gatherings . It’s not the same

For the great man that he was

Cody loved to draw when he was little and continued on into his teenage years played sports loved hanging with his cousins and loved sitting at the lake and loved fishing and he enjoyed listening to music

Everything I treasure it all he was a very silly boy and had a head full of curls and beautiful blue eyes

His smile and he cared for his people

He was the kindest person you would ever meet.He absolutely loved to make ppl laugh and he was the type of person that would give a stranger the shirt off his back and his last dollar. Joel was very special person.

Him hugging me and kissing my head saying I love you sis

Being the life of every party

Patrick always had your back. He never had a bad word to say about anyone and always lit up the room when he walked in.

There are so many. When he was 2yrs old we were on a convention in Miami. He would say it’s Miami not your ami. Too cute.

Everything. He was always happy and encouraging to be with.

He was humble so he would like to be remembered as a good son, brother and hard worker which he was all of these but because of his addiction he never really felt it.

He is missed everyday

With his son Evan

His smile

He tried very hard to free himself from his demons

Brent had a big personality, he was always surrounded by huge group of friends , always the the jokester he was a amazing brother , big heat , had a love of cars his especially a Mazda he was always taking to car meets .

I miss his voice, especially him calling me momma , his laugh

Brent was affectionately called “Brenty Bear “ by friends , football coaches and his family , he had a big heart and cared for everyone important to him

Rusty was a very intelligent man with a heart of gold. He was always there to help you out. He found out 2/21 that he was going to be a daddy again. He was elated. Then someone poisoned him with fentanyl. I am raising his baby now Love and miss you 💔

His laugh and his sense of humor. And how he always found the first morel mushrooms

I miss talking and drinking coffee at 4 a.m. before we went to work. He had so many hopes and dreams and was on his way towards them. Owning his own house, he had cows, tractors, trucks and a car. Oh and 3 ATV’s that him and his oldest son Wyatt {15} would have a blast on.

Always in my heart. I miss him so much.

Tall strong and stout. Very handsome w/very nice smile contagious actually. Really miss him calling me momma! Very friendly and respectful! Everybody loved him that knew him! Very smart, loved foot ball / basket ball as well as running and boy was he ever fast.

Getting me a big tree stump from the Forrest, watching him play football!

Not be able to watch him grow into a man. Having a wife with children. Enjoying family like we’re suppose too.

As being a kind loving and very caring man! Heart of Gold💙

Christian was born to bring smiles to the faces of all he knew and it was a job he perfected up til the day he transitioned. He will always be known as someone who could make you laugh. His laugh was infectious. His heart is huge and he loved big.

Way too many but when he was learning to write his name he would always write Bob…it was easier to write and happened to be his favorite Papa’s name. Kindergarten screening day when asked to write his name, he wrote BOB. The lady administering the test really got a kick out of that.

His loving kindness, his huge heart. His smile and laugh. He gave the best hugs.

100% would want to be remembered as someone who was always there for people (and stray animals) in need.
He’s smiling now knowing people remember him as funny and always bringing joy everywhere he went.

A Sweet, kind, funny, quick witted gentleman

His infectious laugh

Kevin was funny, had a heart of gold, was a good son, brother and friend.

Kevin loved Halloween. One Halloween he dressed up in an ape costume and decided to ride his bike in the neighborhood and wave to everyone. The next minute my husband and I looked out the window and saw all the neighborhood children chasing him and screaming get the ape. He quickly rode his bike into the garage to escape from all the children.

everything, most of all his kindness and humor

A kind loving person and not a "drug addict"

My precious son Christian was kind loving and generous beyond words. His brilliant smile bright as a star in the sky. He was the best friend anyone could have and absolutely knew no strangers. The sunshine of the family we are lost here without him.

There are entirely too many amazing memories to choose a favorite.

Full of love and laughter. Genuine and would literally do for others ALWAYS before himself. It's impossible to think of Christian without my heart swelling with love. Chris would want to be remembered as loyal to friends and family I believe. It's difficult to speak for him as he is full of such great spirit and that beautiful spirit lives on. I adore you my son. You are forever in my heart and you are the most wonderful son a mother could ever know. I am Blessed to be your momma.
