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

A big goof. Always good for a laugh. Lost in his ways but a brother that seen too much. A son that was grieving.

We had a video of my brother flexing for the camera and suddenly grabbed his arms and said, "ouch!"

I miss clowning with him. I miss the understanding we had with each other.

A strong, hard headed breath of laughter. Competitive and himself... always himself.

My dad was a amazing father, and a even better grandfather. He was funny fun and kick ass at playing pool. He is truly missed

My favorite memory of my dad is when I used to go with him to work delivering oxygen, we used to drive talk and laugh all day long.

I will miss his smile and his support and his love for his family.

My dad would like to be remembered as a fun loveing man who plays pool better than anyone around.

He loved his family and his dog Blue. He always wanted to be just a normal kid. He loved kids and his 2 nephews.

We used to get sushi together because only the 2 of us loved it. He would send me pics when he had it when he had moved to FL in 2018.

His smile. His love for his family. He always wanted to be a normal kid.

He would love for people to know that how he died was totally accidental. He was clean for almost 2 years. He passed away from a Krotom / fentanyl overdose. He got a bad batch of krotom somehow.

She was always a happy go lucky child, she had her moments , but she loved her son and she loved her nieces and nephews , she would give the shirt off her back to help you out, never judged , loved her family more than anything..

One day we decided to dye our hair and we bought what we thought was brown dye , i did mine first and she was in the shower rinsing hers off not seeing mine yet , well it was black not brown , i remember running up to the bathroom and screaming lissa look and she saw my hair was black and i could remember the screaming coming out of her mouth , NOOOOOOOOOO , then we laughed i think that day we dyed our hair 3 times just to get it back to its normal color....

Her infectious laugh , her love for her son , her playing with the kids in the neighborhood and of course her nieces and nephews , i miss our talks , i miss our family get together s for the holidays , we would say okay only buy for the kids not her every year she would buy for all of us and we would always say thought it was just for kids she loved the gift of giving , I miss her singing in the shower , or cooking for us , I miss everything about her that would make every mother proud .....

She will be always remembered as the funniest ,

She will always be remember as the funniest Auntie that all the kids loved , even if you were not part of her family the kids always called her auntie.... The one that would go sledding , swimming , singing in the rain with the kids and the one who we do what ever she could to keep them busy...

My brother, Joe, was a very smart, handsome, and funny man. He loved his family, and was especially loved by his nieces and nephew. I learned that he helped many addicts in their recovery along the way, and was admired by many for his wisdom and wit.

I miss his sense of humor and the way he was with my children. I am terrified I will forget the sound of his voice and the feel of his hug.

I don't think he would like to be remembered in a sappy way. He wasn't a mushy person. I think he would like people to understand the effects of addiction, and that he tried to impact those he met in a positive way and help people through their struggles whenever he could.

Danielle was a free bird who loved life at its fullest! She was a wild card and a soul with a heart of gold! She is lived in through her son Landyn. Beth we love you and miss you so much. We will forever carry you with us

I miss her voice. I miss the warmth of her hug and the rasp in her voice. I miss her sisterly advice and her amazing smell. I miss the small things

Danielle Adler will always be remembered through her family and her amazing son Landyn

My daughter was bright, beautiful with a spit fire personality. She was also so kind and humble to anyone she ever met. Would give the shirt off her back to those who needed. Unfortunately she didn't think much of herself personally.

I miss her always having to have the last word no matter. She thought she was the parent since she was a bahy. She did things her way period.

Everything... Her whole existence.

As a great mother, daughter, sister and friend. She wanted to fix the world for everyone around her to live happy and in peace.

His smile, ability to make others laugh, his kindness and always willing to help others and so many other memories

He was respectful..caring ...sweet..everyone who knew him loved him

Spending holidays with him n his family

He won't be around to see his son grow up

She was an amazing soul that struggled with mental illness and addiction. She fought so hard to be loved even though everyone loved her.

Her laugh. The way she would make me laugh.

Her conversation. She opened me up to thinking outside of what is the “America Dream.” That Americans struggle and starve everyday and we do nothing. Addiction, mental illness. We want cars, houses, and money. We forgot what life is really about, taking care of each other.

As a hippy, loving, free spirit. Always ready for the next adventure.

Matt was a gregarious man who would love to hang out with family and friends. He had many friends and enjoyed many activities.
He loved the outdoors and attempted to kick his drug habit “organically” as he said in the boundary waters area.

Matt was intellectual and not afraid to challenge others during conversation. But mostly he was playful and could always be counted on for a good laugh.

Matt will be missed for his companionship and his larger than life presence at get togethers.

Matt would like to be remembered as a charming, helpful, smart, funny guy.

My Dad was a very giving and loving person. He had some mental health issues and used on and off for years starting at age 12. He was sober for 16 years in the middle of being 12 to 52. He was the least judgemental person I've ever met.

My favorite memory was when he would call me and sing to me on every birthday

I miss how well he understood me and always mad me feel better.

They would like to be remembered as always making people laugh and being a loyal person.

Lauren was a very loyal person. She spent most of her days doing for others. She had very many talents. She could shoot bow & arrows better then anyone I know. She had a outstanding love for pets especially her cat buddy.

Her laugh. Her smile. Our inside jokes. Driving around listening to no scrubs by tlc. Eating brayz at 4am after leaving after hours.
Most importantly the love she had for me! She was the only one who had in back in any and every thing. Anytime I needed her she was there with out hesitation. I really wish the world gave her more love & acceptance.

As the goofy loving person she was

Michael was such a loving, caring person. He had demons just like everyone does. He tried so hard to fight those demons and lost the battle after being provided with Carfentanil laced methamphetamine.

My brother was my first best friend and first enemy growing up. There was never a day that went by in all of our 31 years together, that no matter what, we always ended a conversation or visit with "I love you"

I will miss his kindness, his respect for others, and his ability to make everything feel better.

I want my brother to be remembered as tbe genuine person he was, not the addict that controlled him.

Shaine had a big heart if he could help someone he would. He was a wonderful father and husband. He was always all about his family.

My favorite memory would have to be the day we had all our kids. He was there every minute with us. Also the day we got married cause he set that up. He surprised me with us getting married on the day of our 12 year anniversary. He set everything up with out me knowing and he did an amazing job

I'll miss his seriously contagious laugh, his sense of humor, his smile, his big blue eyes, the way he always took care of us.

As the loving father and grandfather that he always has been. As the person that had a heart of gold that would always help anybody in need.

Michael we all miss ypu so very much. Please watch over dad for us and I will do the rest. Love, your big sister...

Too many

Everything

Drink a Guiness, share a memory, listening to his favorite songs

She was a warrior that fought and never gave up

Watching her get her 100 day sobriety token

Her laugh and smile

Always put others before herself

She will be remembered through her children and everyone who loved her

Alex was an easy going and beautiful soul. She was an absolute joy to be around and never once failed to make the ones around her laugh until their stomach hurt. She had bright, beautiful eyes and an ear to ear smile that could light up the room.

My favorite memory with Alex is the countless days spent with her in all our years together doing nothing but making each other laugh.

What I miss most about Alex can't be summed up because I miss every little thing.

I think she would like to be remembered by everyone just looking back at all the wonderfully hilarious times spent with her. The times with genuine smiles and deep belly laughs.
