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

Matt loved his kids. Being a father came naturally to him and he always put them first. He lived hard, but loved even harder. He was the best friend any of us could have asked for... by your side in a heartbeat, loyal to a fault.

I will miss his laughter the most. He had the most amazing smile and his laugh was contagious.

"Just smile back."

Remember his fight. He fought so long and hard, came so far. In those moments where you feel lost or alone, please think of Matt. You didn't come this far to only come this far... keep fighting the good fight.

As a woman who loved her children more than life, a woman who could make you laugh until you couldn't breathe, an aunt and friend who loved and cared for your children as her own and a woman that made you feel special and understood- if you were a stranger or close friend. A beautiful soul with a beautiful smile and the life of the party.

She had a heart of gold.She never judged anyone and always had a smile Even though she struggled with her own demons she always was willing to help everyone else.

There's so many memories.One of the best was 3 months before she passed we went to chicken cheese with her kids .And I will always treasure the pictures and her smile .It meant so much for her to spend time with her kids.I just wish she was still her to make more memories.

I miss her silly texts , if I didn't answer right away she would say Mom,Mom, stop ignoring me.

A mother that loved her children, and a true and loyal friend .And in my phone she put "Favorite Daughter"💔

My dad was ALWAYS there for my through my own addiction. He always would make people laugh and he would give people advice on how to stay out of their own negative thoughts and stay positive.

Some of my favorite memories of my dad is when I used to hang out in his mechanic shop all day while he fixed my car and talk about life and smoke ciggs.

I will miss having RECOVERY talks with my dad. He was one of the only people in my life who could understand and relate to the feelings I would go through constantly.

My dad would like to be remembered at someone who worked hard, loved his family, was always happy and laughing and in good spirits.

Wonderful soul. Very loving and kind and a good father. Loved his 2 boys so very much. He hurt and I couldn't save him. Now he is gone forever

When he would tell me he loved me

His mere presence

Loving son Loving father

He was always trying to help others get help, even saved some of his friends from overdoses, and alcohol poison, he would go out of his way to help others, he was their friend for life! He had the sweetest smile and the biggest heart ❤

He seen a boy in his class that didn't have money for lunch, and he would buy him lunch every day! He couldn't stand to see anyone go without food or a coat!

His beautiful smile! How he said i love you you mama! How he kissed me on the cheek, and his funny sense of humor!!

A good guy that loved his son and his family and friends! And that would always do anything for them!

Adam loved his daughter and his family so much ❤

He loved to spend time with family, his nieces and nephews, his daughter.

I will miss him walking in the room, him hugging me, not able to talk to him.

As loving his family, his daughters, Isabella and Kylie.

Someone who looked out for everyone else. He loved music and enjoyed concerts. Kayaking was his favorite! He was a one of a kind person!

So many memories! My favorite would have to be when he kayaked down a hill into the river hahaha we even have a video of it!

Our long talks about life, music, and addiction. The concerts. The bon fires. Everything...

As the fun loving guy he was.

Glenn loved his family, and being in nature. He had a special gift when it came to animals. He could fix anything, especially cars. He struggled with addiction, but loved with his whole heart.

I will never forget the first night I met him. We were out in the woods for a party, and when I was ready to leave, he helped me find my way out of the woods, and carried me over the stream. We both knew we were going to be in each others lives from that moment on.

I miss so many things about Glenn; listening to music with him, his hugs, his kiss, this love for me and my children, his "rants" about anything he was passionate about; his love of nature, his big heart. Everything.

I believe Glenn would liked to be remembered as someone who was one with nature, an animal lover, and someone who loved and protected his family with everything in him, as well as always helping someone less fortunate.

Before he let drugs and addiction consume his life..he had a heart of gold and talent like none other...he loved art..cats..skateboarding and was a great carpenter along side his father.

The last Christmas of 2019 was my last hug and time with him alive and he always told me he loved me .

Hearing his voice..his sober smile and having him here in person..but he will be forever in my heart.

For the big hearted happy kid he was before he let his addiction take over his world..for the brother that loved his family so much and all the great things he could of offered this world

Seth was a caring, compassionate young man. He loved music, playing his guitar and going to concerts. He was passionate about animals. He made friends everywhere he went. He was loved and missed by many friends and family.

Seth provided us with many wonderful memories. I loved our mother son day in Chicago. We made so many memories on our vacations to St. Pete's in Florida.

I miss his smile and his laugh. The way he said duuude when he was upset.

I miss you so much Shawn..until we meet again son..I love you.

Kyle was an awesome writer, a great friend & wounderful son. I love & miss him terribly.

Physically beautiful. More beautiful inside. Everyone's friend. CR 2 groups leader, jail ministry and still in emotional pain.

My Stephilynn, always playing with her granddaughter Paisley. Family traditions making holiday cookies, spending almost all our time together.

Solid firm hugs.

Kind, forgiving, sweet heart

She was the strongest woman I knew the best mother to her 4 boys the most beautiful daughter. I love her so much.

Food for the soul we where always cooking family together all the time. She would light up the room with that smile.

Watching her being a mom she put her children first her siblings first her mom first.

We remember her everyday of our lives always. We will say her name everyday birthdays a cake for her her favorite foods we will cook.

My uncle Jimmy was my everything. My uncle, my best friend and my dad, when my dad wasn’t around. He would do anything for anyone. You’ll forever be 31 to me. 30 years later and I still miss him every day.

Jimmy was a big kid and he loves Christmas and every holiday that game. He loves nothing more than to spend time with me and make me laugh. He also taught me how to walk.

I miss EVERY SINGLE THING about him...

As someone who loves his family and would do anything for anybody, at any time. He had the biggest heart of anybody I’ve ever known.

Tom was a hard worker, and a wonderful family man. The world was a better place with him in it.
