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

My best friend, my listening ear,

My son would take the shirt off his back for anyone. His loyalty to all was strong. He would say,
Blood makes you related,
Loyalty makes you family.
He was my son, my business partner and my best friend. Blessed I got to be your mom.
Love you son.

My favorite memory was when he was 7 years old, we just bought a new home with an inbound pool. As we were swimming, he looked up to heaven and said, thank you God, it doesn't get any better than this! Such a cute moment. Teaching him to drive was a great memory too. I remember the first time he drove in a huge parking lot. He was so proud to be behind that wheel. As an adult I cherish the day we obtained a huge client in our marketing company. So blessed to have 29 years of memories.

I miss everything about my son. His hugs and beautiful smile I miss the most. His strength and perseverance with every obstacle he faced was truly incredible. I miss our long drives to thd beach. Something about the smell and sound of the ocean always was so calming. Watching him create the most amazing drawings was so special to me. My son was so brilliant and talented in so many ways. If only I could get just 1 more bear hug from him. That would be just so amazing.

He was a very humble man. Honesty was so important. He wore his heart on his sleeve and loyalty was his greatest attribute. He was a networked. Whatever anyone needed, if he couldn't floor it, he would find someone who could to get whatever was needed. My son was one of the most creative people I ever knew. His artwork, poetry, writing will be cherished for many years to come. I want his spirit to live within all the people in our lives. He may be gone, but will never ever be forgotten.

Loved life loved family and cherished his son Kyle

Being so funny and goofy but mostly the bear hugs Ed gave

The sweetest smile ever and my good morning phone calls

Her laugh!!

Everything!!

As a woman that loved children

He was an amazing son, he loved his children and tried his best to be there for them. We had struggled for yours with his addiction but no matter what I loved him unconditional ♥

When I got cancer he shaved everything of including his eye brows I didn't lose my eyebrows months later he thought I would lose them right away. Lol

He was always there helping me with the yard, with the house I could always depend on him. He is not only my son but he was my best friend.

Some who would give the shirt off his back, no matter his struggles he loved his family he loved his kids. He fought so hard against the drug and lost but I know he loved me (his mom). He was a mommas boy and everyone knew it and he was proud of it.

Tommy was a caring person. Loved his family and fishing

Tommy was an avid fisherman. He could tell some fishing stories.

I miss talking to him. We always talked. I miss him talking about his grandkids. How happy they made him.

A great grandfather a caring man and a good friend

Chris was very loved he had a big heart. His kids meant the world to him. Had a very big smile and he was well through the United States he was a well known Graffiti Artist.

Me and him driving down the street and a good song would come on and busting a move in the passenger seat.
Chris was a very good dancer. And times we would go eat and just laugh and just talk and chill.

Him calling me and he would say whats up "MaH"
And his laughter and his dimple.

For his witty jokes and laughter.
And his old school advise

Brian was my youngest brother by 6 years. We had a bit of a rough childhood with our dad but us kids and Mom were a team. Brian started drinking at a young age, hell we all did, but it took hold of him and never let up. He loved to party and have fun

He was a little pain in the ass. We traded blows often. I had six years on him and I would have to pick him up and throw him away from me. He was relentless! We loved each other right up till the end

His laugh mostly. Saying "hey sis" and his smile

Loving and being loved by family and friends. Always being the life of the party

His smile and wit and curiosity for the world

As a jokester

Everything

He was a loving and very giving soul.. He had a wonderful sense of humor that would have you laughing hysterically.. Even on your worst day..

I have too many wonderful memories to mention.. But will always stand out is the love that he had for his children and family..

I miss everything about him but especially his sense of humor..

He was a very loving and caring person and would want to be remembered for that.. Not for his addiction..

Adam had a heart of love and giving. He may have struggled, but he was always there for his family & friends no matter what. We miss him so much.

His smile ,laugh and hugs.an how hel loved.

His wisdom and our talks

For his good hat he did, and his time that he was clean, and the AWESOME DADDY he was

She had a big heart. She never knew a stranger. She was a fighter till the end.

Her birth on Christmas day. Her killing the Easter Bunny, Her wedding day. The day she found out she was pregnant with her first child.

Everything...her laugh her smile. That she won't get to see her son grow up. Her yelling "I am back!" The sound of her voice.

He was a wonderful.soul. He became depressed when we lost Shawn. He dove head first into addiction. It was a 5 year battle that he sadly lost.

I have so many!

His humor, his loyalty, his unconditional love. He had a heart as big as he was! He was very tall with long arms & he gave the best hugs. He tried to come see me every day. I miss feeding him & doing his laundry. I miss the son he was for me. I miss watching him with his children.

As a loyal friend a dedicated son & dad. He would want to be remembered as he was before addiction stole his sole & joy.

Wouldnt talk bad about anyone even when he had reasons to. Loved me at my worst and my best. He always looked out for his family and best dad a girl can have.

So many but the best one is him on a blanket in the park, 2 months old smiling and making us smile

Any time of day or night if I needed him he was there fixing anything I needed .cooking and even baking for me and seeing him with his daughter not bring afraid to change her diaper, feeding her, and calling her princess every single day,

As a man who turned chef, mechanic, electrician, humble and a great father

Even when he was down and out he still tried to make everyone smile

Acting goofy with his kids and family

Their forgiveness they gave to others

As an eternal soul, their infectious smile, their willingness to forgive people, their love for life.
