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

Lauren was a very loyal person. She spent most of her days doing for others. She had very many talents. She could shoot bow & arrows better then anyone I know. She had a outstanding love for pets especially her cat buddy.

Her laugh. Her smile. Our inside jokes. Driving around listening to no scrubs by tlc. Eating brayz at 4am after leaving after hours.
Most importantly the love she had for me! She was the only one who had in back in any and every thing. Anytime I needed her she was there with out hesitation. I really wish the world gave her more love & acceptance.

As the goofy loving person she was

Michael was such a loving, caring person. He had demons just like everyone does. He tried so hard to fight those demons and lost the battle after being provided with Carfentanil laced methamphetamine.

My brother was my first best friend and first enemy growing up. There was never a day that went by in all of our 31 years together, that no matter what, we always ended a conversation or visit with "I love you"

I will miss his kindness, his respect for others, and his ability to make everything feel better.

I want my brother to be remembered as tbe genuine person he was, not the addict that controlled him.

Shaine had a big heart if he could help someone he would. He was a wonderful father and husband. He was always all about his family.

My favorite memory would have to be the day we had all our kids. He was there every minute with us. Also the day we got married cause he set that up. He surprised me with us getting married on the day of our 12 year anniversary. He set everything up with out me knowing and he did an amazing job

I'll miss his seriously contagious laugh, his sense of humor, his smile, his big blue eyes, the way he always took care of us.

As the loving father and grandfather that he always has been. As the person that had a heart of gold that would always help anybody in need.

Michael we all miss ypu so very much. Please watch over dad for us and I will do the rest. Love, your big sister...

Too many

Everything

Drink a Guiness, share a memory, listening to his favorite songs

She was a warrior that fought and never gave up

Watching her get her 100 day sobriety token

Her laugh and smile

Always put others before herself

She will be remembered through her children and everyone who loved her

Alex was an easy going and beautiful soul. She was an absolute joy to be around and never once failed to make the ones around her laugh until their stomach hurt. She had bright, beautiful eyes and an ear to ear smile that could light up the room.

My favorite memory with Alex is the countless days spent with her in all our years together doing nothing but making each other laugh.

What I miss most about Alex can't be summed up because I miss every little thing.

I think she would like to be remembered by everyone just looking back at all the wonderfully hilarious times spent with her. The times with genuine smiles and deep belly laughs.

Jess was a beautiful loving soul and wonderful mother

I have to many to have a favorite

Her being there for me and having her to talk to and tell everything to

He was my younger brother always had your back. Always tried to make you laugh. He wanted a better life but couldn't fight his demons. He will always be missed and loved.

The day my oldest was born. He was right there next to me trying to make laugh though the pain. He only left because he had to, when they took me for a c-section.

I miss being able to call you when the kids do or say something silly. Or the long talks about nothing. Sometimes things happen and I'm like omg I need to call Jer, but I can't thats when it really hits me your gone and I'll never hear your voice again.

As a person who always wanted to do/ be better.

He was a tortured soul

So many...I only had him for 26yrs...his birthday was St Patrick's Day...he had the best sense of humor. He could make you laugh, even when you were mad at him. 💔

How he would always ask me for advice. Even if he didn't follow it.

As Buddha

Loving and kind. Was a great person inside and out. Loved her children and her family. Missed forever and always.

Eveything

He was my oldest son! He was sweet, tenderhearted and such an awesome Daddy!

So many wonderful memories of him. When his baby boy was born he was so excited to be a Daddy!

I will miss EVERYTHING about him. His laugh, smile, and his voice.

Being a wonderful Daddy and helping people and such a sweetheart!

Very loving, caring and willing to help everyone he could. 

The smile on his face when he found out he was going to be a father. 

His smile, his laughter, his wittiness, and his love. 

As a caring and loving person. 

Martin was a great man, chivalry existed in his heart. He shared his love with whoever was willing to receive it. He told you how he felt when he felt it. He was a family man

Laughing and joking all the time

His beautiful personality

Like someone who have life his all

Could never shake this monkey off of his back...

Valen

The what could have, should have, beens as far as the void his death caused a young 9-year-old, his only child, his daughter...

Hart of Gold

This was the father of my children. He was gone too soon.

Singing elvis songs to my belly when I was pregnant with our kids.

My kids being able to call or see him.

Happy, strong, wild

Shannon was an incredible person with a heart of gold and a Copenhagen smile. His laugh was contagious. He would offer anyone the shirt off his back, and he never met a stranger. The best big brother a girl could ask for.

His niece was 3 and really loved Monster High dolls. McDonald's had a series of Monster High toys in the kids meals and she had all of them but 1. Shannon called all the area McDonald's, asking for this one toy, and didn't stop until he found it. He surprised her with the entire display of all of the toys and made her day.

That smile. That laugh. Him calling me his little "sissy". The phone calls that, when he was sober, would last for hours. The surprise visits and calls.

I work in mental health, and run a 28-day inpatient substance abuse program. My husband and I also have 4 sober living homes for men. I will forever carry him with me as I work to help others fight their addictions, and share his story, to help them, where he could not find the strength to overcome. His name will be carried within me forever.

She never met a stranger and she would feed anyone. She would give you the shirt off her back. She had a huge heart.

Her standing by my wife on our wedding day. I’ll always cherish that. We loved to dance at the grocery store.

Messing with her. She would always brush of anything crazy you said and it was so funny, I can hear her say your sick..

A good person with a big heart that could cook and loved her kids and grandkids.

My son was so family oriented thats all he wanted was to be with his family. He loved everyone. His smile would brighten a room. He loved to be happy..

My son was so proud of me he wrote me and told me..

Hearing his voice and his smile..

Great father son and brother
