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

The Day our son was born!

Trent lit up any room he walked into. He would rather the sun cast upon you, rather than himself. He had a insatiable zest for life and lived it to the fullest. His love for surfing and any water sports was paramount. And those eyes. Unforgettable.

Our surfing trips we shared as a family. His spirit, his love for helping others in the recovery community.

Everything.

The way he lived life to the fullest. Do what you love, because tomorrow isn’t promised. In the end, he would rather slide in and say” what a ride!” Celebrate my life, ride that wave!

My son was a gentleman with a kind loving soul.

His beautiful brown eyes were a window to his soul and heart.

Addition took a hold of my son and he fought with all his strength to survive

Jimmy was in ice skates at the age of 3 by age of 4 he was playing ice hockey. I will always remember going to watch him practice and play.

The day his son was born he realized what true love was. Especially, since his son was his namesake. He was so proud

The ability to make me laugh
The ability to quote movie lines
Knowledge of history
His love for his son
His warm embrace

Danny boy struggled with untreated anxiety and depression throughout his life. Self medicated initially with alcohol. Later in life started using benzodiazepines then herion wbich took his precious life.

Smile, kindness, and being helpful.

Not seeing him on this earth.

As a good person who couldn't beat the struggle of addiction.

all are my favorite memories ❤

everything ❤

My Baby Brother My Heart My World I Protected you And Saved You So Many Times.We Struggled As Kids We Had A Hard Life No Kids Deserve I Tried So Hard To Protect You But That Day I Couldn't I Prayed Hard For God To Protect You He Decided U needed Home

Everything He did was My Favorite He Was Funny He Was Kind He Would Help Anyone And Lord He Prayed And Begged God To Take This Away From Him He Was Saved In The Past He Prayed For The Sick He Read His Bible He Talked To God But Once He Started Taking The Pills For Pain That Was His Releaver He Couldn't Function Without It

Everything The Talks The Laughs Our Family Being All Together Lord I Miss My Dad Thats Passed I Miss My Oldest Brother Who Passed Way To Soon But Lord I Will Never Get Over My Baby Brother We never Was Apart And If So We Talked Every Day I Will Never Get Over You I Was Supposed To Take Care Of You My Heart Is Broken Until We Meet Again

As A Good Hearted Person A Good Friend A Good Daddy The Best Brother Ever

Aaron was an addict. He died in prison of an overdose of heroin and fentanal. There had been no visitation because of covid. The employees are responsible for bringing drugs in. Rehabilitation not incarceration

When he would spend the night. My husband worked till 3am, Aaron would hide and jump out and scare my husband.

Hearing his voice and laughter. Going to visit him in prison and watching him enjoy all the food from the vending machines.

As a kind caring person that loved his family. He had a good heart that gave to others the encouragement to stay positive. He made friends and enjoyed making people laugh.

Heart of Gold....loved his family and friends...loved working outside...so close to his mother!!

His beautiful smile..

His phone calls everyday...his telling me I love you!!

Jason was my first born. He was kind, intelligent, loving and considerate. He had a promising future and a family that love him more than words can express.

Rest in Peace, my son. You are always in our thoughts and forever in our hearts.

One of my favorite memories is when Jason and his fiancee visited me in Mississippi. This was the last time I saw him.

Joey had a huge smile that lit up his face. He was was a devoted father and son. He was very protective of this loved one and is missed every second of every day. He was much more than an addiction he was a great man and friend.

His smile, his random singing, his knowledge of fixing cars, him being here on holidays and birthdays.

I think Joey would like to be remember for being a great dad. He would want people to know they had a great bond and he took care of him primarily. He would like to be remember as just Joey and not by the struggles of his addiction.

Dustin got an infection in his spine a few years ago. He was a quadriplegic but was gaining back strength. He could use his arms and was determined to walk again someday. Unfortunately, that day never came.

Just his goofy humor and his positive outlook on life, even being in the position he was in. He would always cheer others up and would be upbeat and strong.

His Facebook posts. I think all of his friends looked forward to hearing from him every day. I will miss him messaging me the updates with his health. He was SO excited to start walking again.

As a strong, handsome guy with the biggest heart in the world. His life mattered and he was important.

La'Chae had a heart of gold her smile would light up a room

giving me her children to raise

her laugh and smile

He loved with all his heart, great friend and an amazing son

The day he was born and every day after that

His hugs

Fun and adventurous

Charmaine was always loving, caring, funny, and she for such a giving soul she would help anyone in need, she loved her babies with all our heart and fought her addiction but lost the battle. We miss the laughter but she brought into our lives

I has her mother miss her infectious smile and the laughter that she would spread out through the house and anyone that met her

I will miss the fact that she doesn't get to see what wonderful children she brought into this world

I know that Charmaine would love to be remembered as a soft and gentle kind person and that this world was too ugly for her and now she flies High and free that her struggle is over and she's no longer in pain

Kind. Beautiful. Sweet. Loving

Their childhood

Everything

Beautiful. Happy

He was my brother, hero and protector! He was generous to a fault, helped anybody who needed it, even when it meant him going without. He loved his dogs, especially Solomon and Duke!

He used to call me "punk" in a very endearing way! I really miss that alot. Every so often he would give me $50-$100 for no reason at all! The last time we hung out, he took me to Texas Roadhouse for dinner. He had never been there and we both enjoyed it so much!

I miss him calling me punk! I miss his unconditional love! I'm sad he didn't get to meet his last great niece and nephew! I miss his grumpy days too!

Kind, generous,helped friends and family whenever he could. Good heart! Great roofer! Good uncle to my kids! Loved his dogs!

She was the best mommy, sister, daughter, & friend. Her loyalty stood above most & she loved with her entire heart. Her smile was radiant & her laughter could fill a room. She was my light & my best friend.... my other half. Nobody will ever compair.

Everything.... but one memory sticks out the most.... my nanny put curling rods in our hair one night b4 school.. well needless to say, the next morning, we looked like brunette poodles. Lol We were only maybe 5 and 9 yrs old at the time but her & I gleamed with excitement at our new hair. We climbed onto that bus smiling from ear to ear...... all I knew that day was my hair matched my sissy's & we were the prettiest girls ever!! She will always be my idol!!

Everything!!! I miss absolutely everything about her!! I miss her smile, her guidance, her laughter, her strength, her stories, EVERYTHING! But mostly, I miss having "my person!" I miss being able to call her & I miss having her by my side! I miss MY PERSON!!!

Im sure she's want to be remembered by her loyalty, her love for her family, & her unconditional love for her babies!! Her 2 babies were her life! They were her entire existence & if I had to guess I'd say she would want to be remembered as a beautiful, stunning, devoted mommy, sister, daughter, & friend who loved sunflowers, The Pittsburgh Steelers, &Ohio State Buckeyes. She was all black & yellow, black & yellow..........

Brad fought this disease with all he had right up to the very end. His message to others, would be, “Never give up.”

He loved to pay for the person’s food behind him in drive-thru lines. He loved helping others in anyway he could!

We miss his bear hugs, his booming laugh and bright smile.

As a great father, loving son and loyal friend.

My son was a kind, caring young man.He helped everyone. He was a wonderful brother and son. His death has left a whole in all our hearts. He was way to young to die.

There are so many memories, he was a character. One funny memory was of him trying to bite his ear. It was a joke but we would always laugh.

Everything, his laugh, his smile, calling me MaMa

As a carefree spirit, an adventurer
