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

My son & only child was a gentle, kind person until The Monster got him.He was so smart and knew better, but The Monster got hold & would not let him go.
For the last 7 months of his life he was clean & I had my son back.I miss him so & am crushed.

Being at the beach together brings such warm memories of Frankie. Hed hold onto me so tight when the waves crashed on us. I can also picture him in the kitchen cooking for everyone. It was his way of expressing his love for us. He was great at art, too, and I treasure some pieces he drew when he was a kid. And his deep, resonant voice was so distinctive.

I miss him hugging me when he'd visit and hearing his voice say, "Hey Mom. How are you?"
Most of all, I miss hearing him say, "I love you, Mommy."

He loved his family and friends and that he would protect us with his own life if he had to.

Everyone he met he left an impression. He found the good in every one. His smile was contagious. He would drop everything if you needed him. His passion was barbering. He loved the beach and fishing. He loved the outdoors. He was the best.

No matter how hard life knocked him down he would always manage to get up and keep walking. He never held a grudge. He lived every one and life.

His energy. His smile. His heart. His hugs.

My dad was a great man and could build anything he set his mind to. he was a great carpenter. He loved my sister and I. He would have done anything to help anyone and would give u the shirt off of his back if u needed it. we miss him everyday.

arrow head digging with him when I was very young and fishing. we were always outdoors.

His quick wit, his smile, his generous nature. Always worried and cared about others. One of my favorite memories is the look of pride when he got his very first apartment and made me dinner.

His smile, his hugs, our conversations. Saying godnight and I love you. His presence.

Family came first. His enjoyment of being with family and friends. Loving son, loyal friend, his huge heart, his smile.

Her love of children and animals.

My son whose smile lit up a room. He loved deeply and was the best friend you could ever have.

Dalton was the most unique soul you would ever meet. He had such an infectious laugh and smile, and was always your shoulder to lean on. He was friends with everyone, loved his kids, and loved his family. He was also beyond appreciative of everyone.

Dalton had a heart of pure gold. Many times, we would raise baby deer and raccoons. While we thought we had obtained the right permit, as instructed by the DNR, it never seemed as though the conservation officer would leave us alone. They would always confiscate our animals, we would find more abandoned by their mothers, and they would come take them again. He was always so excited to call me and say “Jord, you’re going to be so excited. Hurry, come over, I have us another raccoon/deer.”

I will miss his genuine caring nature, his smile, his huge heart, his protective instincts over his family, and the love he had for everyone e. He will forever be missed.

Dalton was too unique and caring to be in such a cruel world. He was the most unmaterialistic person you’d ever meet, and just enjoyed the beautiful things in life. He was not his addiction; he was just too broken for this world.

Roger had such a contagious laugh that you couldn't help but love. He is missed dearly by his 3 kids and family so much!

His laugh. His love for his children and wife. The way his face lit up when seeing them.

A kindhearted man who would do anything he could for anyone. He's missed beyond words. His kids are very young. The oldest is 7. The youngest is almost 2. We will always tell them about roger and what he means to us.

She was my best friend my little sister she had a lot of life to live!! Taken way to soon!!

Everyday life we was always together

Everything her laugh her smile

As a great mommie

My son loved his mini me Justin Jr.
more than anything in this world.
My son was a man of his word, even when deep in his addiction, he had integrity and a work ethic like no other.
He had the biggest smile.
He was my MOMMAS BOY 💖💖💖💋

My favorite memory of Justin is right before he was two years old GUNS AND ROSES SWEET CHILD OF MINE video was always on MTV and he would stand in front of the TV with this big plastic golf club and use it like a mikestand and sing and dance like AXL ROSE.
Every time I here the song I can picture him doing that.

I miss his hugs and kisses and his company. He was my first born, my partner in crime and my sidekick and BEST FRIEND.
I miss his handsome face and beautiful smile.

He would like to be remembered as a great DADDY that LOVED HIS SON MORE THAN LIFE ITSELF.

A loving daughter and great person

Going on vacation this year just the 2 of us talking laughing just having a great time. She just got out of prison so she was clean and sober

Her laugh

As a loving daughter

He was so very kind hearted, loving, compassionate, and multi-talented. One of a kind.

Growing up together as siblings and all of the fun and unforgettable times we had.

Everything. Every. Single. Thing.

By being the most kind hearted person he could be. And for being a great friend, father, and brother.

You were one of the biggest blessings to our family. I remember the day you came home. I was so happy. You were the most beautiful baby. Your smile. And your laugh. You were such a happy baby.

I will miss your beautiful smile and that infectious laugh!
