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

You could feel his hugs all the way to your heart. His smile lit up a room, and his laughter was contagious. His love was unconditional and knew no boundaries. I'm lucky to have known him as his sister.

Raven had a light like no other. Her laugh was contagious, she was spunky and loved music. She was beautiful inside and out!

Her teasing her little brother with wrapping up Mac n cheese for his Xmas present and boy am I thankful I have that video!

Everything

She saved 5 people through organ donation

She had a kind soul loving heart sweet smile.

The day I adopted her she was 9 years old

Her calling me momma. And always calling me in my birthday no matter wer she was

That she loved her family

He was a beautiful soul who loved people and wanted to belong

How much he loved his family

His smile his laughter his jokes his beautiful eye

Strong fighting and never gave up

My last year of my life was so difficult as I struggled with a mental health condition. I was only trying to feel better. I didn’t know the cocaine I took was laced with fentanyl. I didn’t want to die, I was only 18 and had my whole life to live.

I miss Owen’s hugs. They were the absolute best!

The most beautiful, smart, fearless person in my life. She taught me unconditional love. She was a walking heart. She is my hero.

When she took a coconut into the pool to play with and they had to shut the pool down for the day. It was so innocent and she still found a way to get into trouble.

Her laughter, her voice, her love. Her courage and determination to be heard and loved.

As an inspiration to raise awareness.

Kind, loving, funny, best at baseball

Helping homeless, addicts, living his daughter and son

His smile, love and hugs

His thoughtfulness, kindness, treating people with love and respect

In my eyes, my son I miss so much. Anywhere I went I was always told how kind and always willing to help someone. He was a great kid, just made a bad choice on 8.10.20. He relapsed after 14 years. Leaving behind a wife and 3 great kids.

I have so many. But, I remember how he took care of my Dad when he was dieing ..... My son was also so compassionate to who ever needed help. He was there

I miss his calls he made to me daily. Whenever I needed him, he was here. I miss his hugs and I love yous.

I think he'd like to remember, being a great Dad to his 3 beautiful kids. How helpful and always ready to lend a helping hand.

My little brother had a heart of gold but a mind of his own. He did whatever he wanted with no regard to consequences. He truly was a unique soul.

Going to concerts together and sharing new music with each other.

I miss his random message” who’s your favorite slacker” and wondering what he got into now. I miss being there for him.

As a person who would do anything for anyone. He wasn’t always an addict. He tried to get help, he just lost the battle.

The friend with no judgements who never realized how much she helped others. Beautiful inside and out, but couldn't see what others saw. A protector who needed protection...

Alaina stood up for me and defended me in a place where I needed the emotional and physical safety to get clean and sober. Her bravery is why I celebrated 11 years clean.

Her humor and sassines. She was in the height of her struggles but would send me Bestie Memes and twisted funny videos, she had so little to give in some ways, but those moments of humor always so needed and appreciated by me. I understood and knew it was her gift to me.

Alaina would like to be remembered for her passion of horses and riding. Her love of music and others xoxo She loved Disney Princesses and believed herself to be Tinkerbell. That despite her struggles she loved her daughter ❤️ That she was truly sorry and that she tried so hard...

Kevin was such a smart, caring, kind hearted young man. He was a hard worker he’s always had two jobs and strived for greatness in everything he did. He loved his family and friends and his cat king. He loved to cook. He is missed very much.

I miss his goofy personality the most and I miss his advice and views on things.

Scott was the most terrific person you could meet. He always tried his best to make his people feel loved & cared for.

We went to Hawaii in 2023. It was the last trip he ever took & we had our son with us & had the best time

Everything. His sense of humor. His ability to calm me down when I was stressed out

He was a great man with compassion to make things right, but never got the chance to.

A father that always had a dream to had a relationship with their son.

Stephen is the best person I’ll ever know. My soulmate. He was silly, passionate, talented, and so smart. He loved fiercely and unconditionally. All he wanted was to love and be loved, and he is still so loved.

Everything. We spent a lot of time in the car, driving around and just talking. We bonded immediately. We also spent a lot of time at home, just in the bedroom each doing our own thing, him playing video games or his guitar and I’d just watch him in awe. We didn’t even need to be talking, just being in the same space together was more than enough. We were each other’s safe place.

Everything. His laugh, listening to him play his guitar, his childlike enthusiasm. The way he looked at me.

He wanted to matter, to have an impact on people. And he absolutely did. Not a day goes by that I and his family and close friends don’t think about him. He wanted to help people and since he can’t, I am trying to do that for him.

Noah was a sweet, caring, loving child. He loved music, animals, nature, and his family. He was incredibly athletic and could succeed at any sport he tried. He loved watching the Kansas City Chiefs every week of football season with his Dad and Mom. He loved hunting, fishing and camping in the great outdoors. He wanted to travel and see the world. When he graduated high school he started working in construction. He was a very hard worker but the alcohol and drugs began to take a toll on him and a month before his 22nd birthday he overdosed and died. We lost our beautiful, kind hearted son to alcohol and drugs.

My favorite memories of Noah are during his preschool years. We spent a lot of time together while he was at Small Fry. We got to go on lots of field trips together and had many celebrations. I’ll cherish those memories forever. He was such a sweet child.

I’ll miss the times when he would come into my room, flop down on my bed and just open up about things that were bothering him.

He told a friend before he passed that he had the work ethic of his father and the heart of his mother. I think that’s how he would want to be remembered.

Big hearted and funny!!

A sledding trip together up on Stevens pass!! We laughed until we cried all day long! A memory I will cherish for life!!

His laughter, zest for life and his giant bear hugs!

A funny guy who loved to have fun, be the life of the party and loved his family and friends deeply!

Jordan had the kindest heart and would do anything for anyone. When he was young he would bring animals home, anything from a guinea pig to a goat. He got along with everyone and loved his nephew, Landen and his daughter Mackenzie so much.

So many memories of Jordan, he loved sports, especially baseball ( his nickname was groundhog) and football. Always kind and so willing to help anyone in anyway possible. He was the cutest little boy with beautiful curly hair, that his brother would tease him about. He was an adventurous young fellow who so many loved and is missed so dearly.

His kindness and sense of humor.

As a kind, loving young man.

Travis was exceptional - intelligent, witty, loved his family and animals. He had the best smile and the brightest mind. He is loved and missed more than words can ever convey.

One of my favorite memories of Travis is his impersonation of Gallagher smashing watermelons. He had his audience in stitches. He was about 12 at the time. Another is his never-ending question "so, what's your plan?"

Everything!

I think Travis would like to be remembered as a man who helped people in recovery. He gave back to that community what he received from them. I know he would like to be remembered for his love of animals, great and small - he rescued a cat and a dog and loved them both until the day he died. And he loved his family....dearly.
