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

My love, I’ve been blessed to have you. You’re my soulmate. The best times of my life were shared with you. You’ve been my support and friend through hard times, and through you I found myself. Be happy, my son. Love life.

Mom. (July 2000)

He had the biggest heart. Always loves life. Knew how to make my day. Barbering was his passion. He had a gift. Loved to make me smile. Connected to everyone he meet. Loved fishing and the beach. Adventurous. Had this contagious laugh.

I will miss everything. His beautiful smile. His I love you momma. His text. His energy. His stories.

As someone who made a difference. He left a mark in this world. He touched every life he came to contact with. He was a beautiful person inside and out.

He was such a kind hearted soul, loved by so many , a amazing Father,loved fishing,

Everything about him ,he showed true love and joy

Everything, my only child, I'll never hear ,I love you Momma, I'll never see his handsome face, I'll never get hugs and kisses,

A wonderful Father,

Jake was an amazing child. He was so much more intelligent than he gave himself credit for. He fiercely protected his family members. He loved fishing. He had a playful personality and would do anything to help those less fortunate.

Watching him play outside in the woods as a child. He loved being outdoors exploring.

I will miss his hugs, the talks we used to have, and all of our special mother/son moments.

Jake would like to be remembered as someone who cared so much about his close family members, his love for fishing, and his passion for the things that interested him.

My Friend Cody, he was smart, funny and caring, he was one of the bestest friends anyone could ever have

when we were in class, my teacher told some people to stop talking, he said that's racist and everyone laughed, another one is when we were playing with this rc car and he drove it under his dads cars tyre and his dad went forward and smashed it, he started to cry and his dad got very angry.

His humour, it was so good he could make you laugh without even trying

A ceremony with army people shooting their weapons in the air, people doing burnouts in their vehicles, and bogans drinking vb beers

The most amazing man I knew he had a heart of gold it was so strong so patience so kind so loving

My favorite memory of my father every year for Christmas and New year's Eve he would buy me the most beautiful dress

What I miss the most is being able to sit down and talk to him

As a soldier a father and a loving husband

He was the most amazing dad. To my little girl he was a hard worker but he still made me smile

When he came in to my life. And when he told me he loved me

His smile and his personality most importantly him

I will continue to fight for his addiction.

My Brandon, blonde hair, blue eyes and a heart of gold. A Mamas boy, protective brother. He loved the outdoors hunting and fishing, clay shooting , snowboarding. He loved to cook, always helping others, loved to have family get togethers.

The best memory of Brandon is since he was in elementary, middle school and high school. When he was in Christmas plays and in sports . The first he had to do is look for me and where I was sitting at , even during football in HS, he would always find and I made sure he could see me , he knew exactly where his step dad was at football games up and down the side lines cheering Brandon and his team. Brandon was a organ donor , he gave the gift of life , still giving to others . He’s a Hero to me

Brandon always called me everyday or a few times a day and txt. But he would take me out to lunch or dinner just me and him and shopping . He always took me to UFC fights to watch at BW3 or other places we both liked the UFC fights . Sometimes I would make a lot of his favorite food to have his friends over to watch the UFC fights at home. We also always watched our favorite team Dallas Cowboys. He didn’t like when I yelled at the tv when the Cowboys were loosing . “Mom calm down”

Brandon worked since he was 15 and did he always has good grades . He always kept his sister safe and has scared a few guys away because he didn’t like them. I never had to ask him to do the lawn and landscaping he had to have it perfect . He always was helping friends or our neighbors and family. He always took care of me if I was sick or had surgery. He didn’t like to see me cry it would always make him cry too. His hugs were the best. He was a organ donor and saved a life, always giving .❤️

Kevin had such a huge personality. He was so funny and talked alot! He had a huge heart and would talk to anyone from any walk of life. He gave the best hugs.

His huge smile, when we would get together for holidays and he loved his step father's cooking. I mi

I miss his huge hugs and his huge presence...he had a big personality

Laughter and love

A very loving and caring person. Had a big sense of humor, could always make you laugh. He was an awesome uncle, his nieces and nephews called him the fun uncle.

Everything just everything.

Kindest giving sensitive loving man. Best father/ son brother.

She was an amazing daughter family meant everything to her when she had her son she evolved into even more of an amazing person. Her son was her world.

Her and her little sister were always so loving towards each other. She was fiercely protective of her little sister.

I will miss her laugh she had a great laugh. I will miss her sense of humour and her old soul and her great taste in music.

As an artist a creator of beauty and mostly her acceptance of all people

Fierce...loyal, great sense of humor. The love he always had for his family was IMMENSE AND FOREVER.❤

How often he let me (mom) know just how much he loved me.

His quick wit, sarcasm most of all his Energy. It's as if there were sparks that would surround him.

EXACTLY HOW HE WAS. WHOEVER KNEW HIM KNOWS WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT.

Thom was ambitious, outgoing, and always trying to keep up. Thom always wanted to be the center of attention & life of the party. When you were around Thom he always had something unique to discuss. He was a big teddy bear with a servant's heart.

On a family vacation, Thom was dared to eat a Japanese spicy pepper. Thom would never pass up a dare and ate the pepper. His reaction was one of both pain and pride. We miss running around together laughing and taking cruises with him. We danced, ate, sang and laughed more during vacations with Thom than ever before! He was always a great road trip partner who came with a playlist that made the trip.

We miss our time together talking about whatever random fact of the day he was on. It could have been a new song, car, or girl. We miss his infectious laugh, big hugs, and carefree spirit. We miss being able to talk to him about anything that was on our mind and not being judged. He always knew exactly what to say to get under your skin or make you laugh after a bad day. He was always great making everyone smile.

Thom would like to be remembered as a great guy with a huge heart and always down for anything. He’d like us to smile and think of him but not let it consume us that he’s not physically here because he gives us signs. We will remember him as a big teddy bear who had big dreams and a big appetite, full of silly stories and a deep sincerity that’s hard to find.

My older brother. Would go to the end of the earth for me.

I will miss everything about him. I will miss his hugs. I treasured each & every hug. He didn't live close by so we didn't get to see each other as much as we would of liked.

Brian was the best father ever & that is how he will be remembered. His three kids were his world and everyone agrees with that!

Adam had a big heart

Seeing him holding his daughter

Being with him and his daughter.

Lost,humble,loving,strong and kind

Sharing the birth of my 1st daughter

The amazing relationship she had with my daughter being a Nana

As loving and someone who did the best with what they had

A loving son that will never be forgotten

His hugs and smile and when he dance he was know as rocking Ronnie

His hugs and his phone calls in the morning telling me he loved me

As a loving person who had a heart of gold and always helping people out
