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

Very persistent in whatever he pursued he loved to have fun he would give to anyone if he had what they need fun to be around in general

The way he loved me and his boys and his mother so much

Being able to touch hold and kiss him

Father, son, brother, husband, a friend to all

Wonderful father of two beautiful girls he had a sense of humor that was really good he loved the outdoors fishing and hunting the mountains he was a gentle soul he loved his mama he will give you shirt off his back to you if you need it a loved wonderful man

His laugh and you smile

Being able to kiss and hold him and just being near him

That he loved his daughter Heather and Allison with all his heart

His smile could get him every where. He had a way of talking to anyone and everyone. Haney was definitely one of a kind.im Proud of who he was.

When I was giving birth to my son Haney was 12 years old he wanted to be in the room with me and when I wouldn't let him he laid on the floor with his ear by the door until Colton was born he was the first one to know. He was so excited about being an uncle

His laugh listening to him talk almost everyday while he was driving or we need to stop by

Haney would want to be remembered for who he was as a person as a husband as a brother a friend and of course as an uncle he loves his nephews and he was a hard worker who enjoyed doing his job and being the best at what he could do he had a way with people especially women

In my eyes my father was perfect.

My favorite memories of my dad were skiing at Yawgoo, trips to the Nordic, fishing trips, and fun filled nights at block island.

I will most miss that my father will never get to meet his grandbabies.

As the silly happy soul they were!

Jennifer was a beautiful soul, inside and out and had a genuine heart and eager to help others. She was smart, talented and creative, organized and had a great sense of humor.

Jennifer was a great big sister! She also loved her only son, Trey. She was always a joy to be around.

I miss Jennifer’s smile and quick wit. She could bring me to tears just laughing so hard! She was my sunshine.

Jennifer is to be remembered by her life helping others struggling with substance use disorder through a mission of The Jennifer Act legislation. This bill is Indiana HEA 1448- The Jennifer Act. A new bill has been drafted in Florida in her memory. The search is on for state sponsorship currently. The new bill is titled : Jennifer’s Act- ECIA. Emergency Crisis Intervention Act. Jennifer died in Pinellas County, FL. Her mother, Sharon Blair is the Founder of this Advocacy.

She had a good heart, she cared for others & always put her people before herself she was the one person who would be there for you even if her world was falling apart.

I’ll miss her always smiling & knowing how to make the bad days better.

Sam will be remembered as an amazing son to Doug and Sally. The best brother to Drew, Ford and Alexa. The outgoing nephew to Nancy, Dion, Giff, Sue, Eric and Liza. The loyal fun friend to Dakota, George, Tyrese, Kollin and many others. The talented passionate teammate to Lake, Pat, Drew, Dakota and the other members of Salem State Lacrosse team. Sam had the biggest heart and smile. We miss him so much!! "let them know he passed this way once" #22 #37

Christopher was an exceptional human being. He was a beautiful bright boy, who could take apart and put together a computer. He was kind and giving. His life was robbed due to Fentanyl Poisoning. He died drowning on his own saliva.

He died alone while his friends and girlfriend partied and then slept. They heard him gurgling but never called 911. He had plans to go into a rehab program within two days.

My favorite memory of him is when his grandmother bought him his first car. He was so excited that his face was beaming with excitement. Or when he would call every morning at 5:30am before work. He told me things that broke my heart but was always grateful that he knew he could come to me without fear of judgement.

I will miss his smile, his voice, his face, his scent, his kindness. He was always there for my daughter who he considered his sister. He would go out looking for her when she would go missing. He missed her so much when she was in treatment. They were robbed of growing up together. He had a job, he had a family who loved him, he took one pill too many and that one pill contained Fentanyl and an antidepressant. He did not intend on taking Fentanyl so he was poisoned.

I would like him to remembered as a human being and not a statistic. He was not a junkie. He was a 19 year old beautiful boy who made a mistake. He never should have had to pay with his life.

My mom was my best friend. She was and is the strongest woman I will ever know. She fought long and hard and just because she’s not here anymore, doesn’t mean she lost her battle.

Going on little weekend trips, or random trips to walmart just to walk around.

I will miss talking to her about anything and everything and her great, endless advice. I’ll miss her hugs and her cooking. I’ll miss having my best friend.

Joseph Ortilluo was a loving father, and grandfather. He was a great man, who always showed compassion. He will be missed by many.

He was always telling stories about his past. He loved to remember the past and educate people.

We will all miss hearing the stories, and remember the past with him, but he will never be forgotten, and his stories and past experiences will never be forgotten.

Jamie was truly a one of kind ! I never had a friend in my life like him . He was always there to listen and never judge , no matter what . He loved music his family and could always expect to be laughing even if you started out crying

Just riding around in his truck acting silly music up loud dancing in the seat being his ol goof ball self

When I have a bad day I no longer have anyone to call . He knew me better than anyone and joe hard headed I am . Even though we lived 7 hours apart I could always count on him answering the phone listening to my fussing cussing n drama and talking me down from any edge .

Funny and loving Dad , Son ,brother and friend, . Always tell the people you love just how much because none of us are promised tomorrow. He always said I love you .

Brittany was an amazing young women who adored her son Nico (he looks just like her) she was raised by Darlene(stepdad Scott) and her father Mark. She was close to her Brothers Brook, Taylor, and Brandon and her sister Cody.

One memory was when we attempted to do the turkey trail at the Pa Grand Canyon in Wellsboro, went about 20 yards we were done.

Brittany will be remembered for exactly who she was.

She was a hard worker. She would work her tail off for you if you would let her. She thought about herself little, and of her community more than it probably deserved. A sense of humor that not everyone in the room could catch & a sense Etiquettcy.

I remember how she was a private person and it’s what made her so intriguing. Making her smile with monologues was about the greatest thing to be a part of. She was always genuin even if you were in trouble. She quickly forgave in a way that I can’t quite describe. Authenticity was always appreciated and she had an eye for it. Each time she came into a room the energy would simultaneously increase and if there was any tension it would be gone by the time she walked past you. She mattered.

Golden hair that blew in the wind reaching what seemed like the floor; was typically down, and quiet curly. Candles! They were always lit and she has a particular way to extinguish them. The sent of Gardenia was her most favorite. Her walls had porcelain Marty gra styled masks along with stars and moons. She liked to see other express themselves threw fashion.

As being whole. No woes. As, her sun has set; and her life ended here, in another world her shine has risen.

Christy was my first born , she taught me how to be a Mama . She struggled with addiction early on in her life . She was a Mother of three, had three siblings a beautiful smile and loving heart.

My favorite memory would be holding her first born LeighAnna a three month old little girl while watching her Mama walk across stage and collect her High School Diploma.

I miss her smile , she had a beautiful smile (after years of braces lol) And beautiful eyes that were blue but would change to hazel like color

I feel like she gave her life to save mine . I was a addict at that time also . I think she would want to save people , stop the stigma

Full of craziness, loved all holidays, dimples with beautiful blue eyes, loved bonfires, loved to fish

So many memories...the day he dragged home a beat up Carolina Skiff behind his bike to fix to go fishing..couple months he went fishing in it.

EVERYTHING..

Devon was always very loyal to his family and his friends. He was everyone’s protector. He loved with his whole heart. We were so close and he would talk to me about everything and anything, or so I thought. He is missed and loved so very much.

I cherish all of my memories with Devon, all 29 years of them, even the bad ones. However, my all time favorite would have to be watching him with his son James. He was an unexpected and pleasant surprise and he stepped up from day one. I was so proud of Devon for that. Watching the two together always melted my heart. The love they had for each other really was very apparent.

What I will miss most about Devon are his hugs and pecks on the cheek. Hearing his voice, telling me he loves me. I will miss him asking me for rides to work, buying him cigarettes, us giving each other advice. He could debate like no other and I’ll miss that too! Most of all I will miss his interactions with his son and him being there for him. It makes me sad knowing James has to grow up without his Father!!

I would like Devon to be remembered as the kind soul that he was. That he never met a stranger. The love he had for everyone he knew and that the love was returned. He was smart, witty, handsome, and was a great cook. He will forever be loved and missed.

Michael was so friendly and lovable that everyone liked him. He tried so hard and took it really hard when he failed. He was just so funny and lovable.

When I was in the hospital and he and his son came to see me and he posted a picture of me on Facebook and said “My Mom after her millionth surgery.”

His teasing, how much he loved me and for being a son he had no problem expressing his love for me.

As being fun, friendly, a good basketball player, and he loved his family.

Very good friend and mother

My 29th birthday in Hudson court
