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

Kiel was a generous and loving person. He loved engaging conversations with anyone. He was outgoing and loved dancing and enjoyed many friendships.

His love.

Loving and Kind

An amazing friend & the glue that held the family together. He always had a smile on his face and &loved to be center of attention. A protector, an animal lover, family oriented, and the boss. He was willing to lend a hand to anyone that needed help.

Getting Married

Seeing him come home everyday, cooking dinner together and just watching tv after a long day.

Jamie was a protector, an animal lover, family oriented. He was willing to lend a hand to anyone that needed help. Jamie will be missed by anyone and everyone that had the honor of knowing him.

Joshua was a talented artist through drawing, music, skateboarding and martial arts. He was funny and loving. When he loved it was with his whole heart. He struggled hard through this life and was a true mammas boy. Forever loved and missed.

So very many memories!! One of my favorite was a skateboard competition and he was the youngest in his category at age 7-10. As he hit the half pipe and came up he stopped on his board and brushed his shoulders with his hands, smiled and kept going. He rocked that competition and took 1st place!! He was so proud as was I.
He also was the regional sparring champ at age 8. He could draw ppl in such detail it was amazing! His music was his passion. He sang and wrote of his life.

Joshua had an infectious smile and wonderful sense of humor. I'll miss our talks, out adventures and all the milestones he will never have.
He only preformed his music publicly once and it was dynamic! He dropped the jaw of many who had no idea of his talent. I'll miss the songs he wrote with so much passion.

He would never want to be forgotten. He would want to be remembered for his huge loving heart and the love he gave to others.
Every teacher he ever had said he always befriended the new child or the one no one was playing with. He knew what it felt like to be left out and he never wanted others to feel that way. I miss his kind, giving soul. The world lost a beautiful soul with so much to give. Taken way too soon.
I will love you always, my precious son. I miss you... Until we meet again ❤️

My blue eyed baby boy so loving and caring ! Oh I miss you

My son was always playing tricks , scared me one night in the corn field ! Hah you always made me smile

His beautiful smile and laugh and what a great uncle he was ❤️

For his love of cars

Chris loved music, enjoying life with friends and family. He loved goin to church & making music for God. Chris was humble and loving, and always loved watching spiritual evangelical programs, and playing guitar and piano.

There comes a time for all of us when we must say goodbye, but faith and hope and love and trus can never never die.

We will miss his smile and energetic personality.

My brother had the sweetest disposition of anyone I have ever known - kind, patient, empathetic, compassionate, generous, and very sentimental. He loved to make people laugh and positively impacted a lot of people all over the world.

I am 15 year's older than him and I took him on a road trip with me when he was seven to visit Montana for a few weeks. Anyone who knows my brother, knows he loved to tell funny stories and make people laugh. He made me laugh so many times on that long road trip with his funny stories. I have so many fantastic memories of the two of us from that special trip - river rafting, camping, and horse back riding. I also remember how much he loved to entertain people through music and dancing.

Definitely his hugs! He was famous for them. Both my mom and I, and many others, will miss his gentle spirit, laughter, and how he always knew just the right thing to say to lift our spirits up. What the world will miss most is Patrick's kindness. He loved to help and support people in realizing their full potential and dreams. Patrick often would go out of his way to help people when they were struggling, whether it was with his money, time, artistic talent, or other resources.

I think he would like to be remembered as someone who was authentic, lived life fully, and on his own terms. He made his life a great adventure filled with amazing memories and friends who loved him dearly. He lived by his values and encouraged others to live by theirs. He was known as the Prince of Fun and would like to be remembered that way. Keep laughing, dancing, creating, and celebrating. He would also encourage people to keep being kind to one another, lift each other up, and hug lots.

Bob was always putting everyone before himself. He loved seeing anyone smile. If he could help someone it made his day. He was happy full of life. He could make friends anywhere and those friends till this day say how he changed their lives.

He had just gotten a new car and wanted to change the steering wheel . Well he and a friend took the old one off but for some strange reason couldn't get the new one on. So for months he drove with pliers attached as a steering wheel.

The way he would make someone's bad day turn into a great day. I'm going to miss his loyalty his love. His smile

Bob would wanna be remembered as the way people knew him.

Leontae better known as “Tae” was very loved. Known as a wonderful son also a 3rd by generations. Everyone loved the type of person that he was, always on time and never let anybody down or behind.

When it comes to memories, we will always remember “Tae” as a blessed soul.

We will miss Leontae by his smile, his laugh, and his hugs! We will miss the days he had drove everyone crazy and still made it a good time, making it about family as, or he would have done himself.

My daughter had mental illness and addiction for many years she had an amazing personality but the drugs stole that from her! And now the drugs stole her from us I love and miss her so much I wish I could've saved her but she couldn't save herself ! 😔

My favorite memories are hearing her sing around the house, getting off the school bus running to me watching her cheerlead and play sports making me laugh with her funny sense of humor. Singing you are my sunshine every night before she went to bed watching how wonderful she was with children and adults with problems she was so caring and gentle with them my favorite memory is I knew she loved me and I love her

I miss her phone calls I miss her hugs I miss her laughter i Miss her face I miss her text I miss what could of been if she wasn't addicted to drugs I Miss her😢

Bray loved his son so very much.

Jordan was my oldest son. I wish so badly that he could’ve seen himself through the eyes of all the people that loved him so much. He was so funny, he could always make me laugh even when he was in trouble. Great personality all around.

My fav memories of him are after his oldest son was born and seeing them together. Hearing his son laugh with him is something I will always cherish.

I miss his smile, voice, laugh. His personality was great. He was such a funny, smart, amazing soul, I miss everything. I miss the time we should’ve been able to spend together as a family. I miss the hope I had for his life and wanting so badly for him to be happy.

I think he would want to be remembered as the hilarious, caring, awesome human being he was. Also that he cared about other people, loved his family and friends, and was just a good guy.
