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

Always helped others but couldn't help himself.

Phone calls/ oh mom can I borrow 50.00.

His smile /hugs and when he said I love you mom.

Caring and funny

Bill was a hard working, daredevil, who liked living on the edge. His daughter was his pride and joy, and reason for being. He was a strong athlete who excelled at soccer and weightlifting. Bill was witty and had a smile that could light up a room

Watching Billy with his daughter, Raelyn.

His energy, smile, and sparkle in his eyes!

Bill wanted to be thought of as someone who could inspire others. More than anything, he wanted to be a good dad to his daughter

Wes (Moe) was and always will be the best son, fiancé, brother, father, and friend anyone could ever have. He always made sure everyone was ok and his smile and sense of humor was untouchable. He’ll live in through his family always

Wes was a protector. He always made sure everyone he loved was safe, respected, and taken care of. Always ❤️

Everything. We’ll miss everything about him. He was one of a kind and truly an Angel on earth to everyone who knew him.

He would want to be remembered by how great of a daddy he was to his kids. He wanted to be there fir every second of their lives bid was so excited he had his boy’s.

Mark, my first born with so much creative talent, loved music, outdoors, made friends wherever he traveled, thoughtful, great sense of humor, most of all LOVING

We could talk about soo many things together. My son, made me so proud. Watching him play baseball, pitcher, mvp.

Our shared laughter...

He was kind and smart and funny!

Awesome person who never met a stranger. Would do anything for his friends.

Becky was an amazing person, she had her struggles but she was so smart and funny. She was my BEST FRIEND! Although she struggled with addiction she always tried to do the best she could in life.

My favorite memory was how much she loved cats. She would always talk in the really weird voice to them and when my daughter was barely about 7 months old she mumbled in the same voice “I’m lovin it!” We joked that while I was pregnant she talked like that around my belly and basically my little girl was born to say it because it’s all she ever heard Becky talking about. It’s just something funny between us and not everyone can understand but I will never forget her voice!

I will miss laughing with her, picking her up first thing everyday and always trying to figure out what restaurant we were going to eat on our budget.

She would want everyone to know that no matter how much she struggled she loved her kids with all her heart and soul and she would want everyone to know she was sorry for the way she left us so unexpectedly.

Rob was smart and sensitive, caring and funny. He didn't like for his kindness to be taken for a weakness. He often thanked me for raising him, even tattooing "Lorraine" on his arm with a red 🌹 rose.

One favorite memory is: I was driving Rob to school. I was chattering his ear off. He had school on his mind. He looked at me and said, "Mom, you need someone to talk to, but it's NOT me". It struck me funny. Poor Rob, having to listen to me at 7am.

Rob's sense of humor.

Dirt biking, snowboarding, mountain biking, & having lots of friends.

He was a happy child. He loved Little League, Pop Warner Football, soccer and hanging out with his cousins, and being outdoors. He especially loved his mom and sister, aunts and cousins. He was intelligent and a voracious reader.

Dustin's smile lit up a room . You couldn't help but smile back. He loved deeply and cherished those he loved. He was quick to help you if needed. He could be silly or serious. He had deep thoughts and kept a lot to himself but you could feel when was hurting or when he was happy. He worried so much about me, his mom. Sometimes too much. He finally chose to go into treatment but he had one last hurrah. He died alone, outside and 4 days until treatment. Damn addiction won. My heart is broken.

His smile and him yelling mom, mom, mom and his endless phone calls and eating me out of house and home. I miss talking to him about everything. I miss his presence, his essence, his soul, his heart and his love.

Seeing him on family gatherings

Very intelligent, fun to be with, loved to smile and laugh, hard worker, loved animals

Chasin his brother through my home

Sweetest kid on the face of this earth

Being real

Outgoing helpful loyal funny smart

Her sister Vickie Taylor

Jay was one of a kind. He loved his family , his daughter and his friends. Jay believed in me on the day I did not believe in myself. He brought me to my recovery, Jay always gave more love to other people than he gave to himself.

I remember the day he brought his daughter into work...the smile on his face as he held her.

Jay had a laugh that was so full of life , it shook the room.

I think Jay would like to be remembered riding his snowmobile very fast with the front skis lifted off the ground.

My her son Jesse Burton

Alaina was my best friend, my cuddle bug. She brought such joy to my life. She loved and served the homeless and people struggling with addiction. She loved animals and adored elderly people. Such a bright beautiful soul. I love and miss her so much.

Her wicked funny sense of humor and her laugh.

I will miss not seeing her get married and having children. I’m sad she won’t be able to watch her nephews grow up. And be a part of their lives.

Alaina would want to be remembered for her kindness to others and her servant heart. And for being a friend all of her friends could depend on.

Mike was very generous, sensitive and compassionate man. He was a hard worker and always willing to help others. We love him dearly and wish he were still here. This is a horrible loss for all of us. We are broken hearted Love you beautiful boy.

When his nephew was born Mike cried. He was so happy we were happy. He bought Theo a blue Teddy Bear. Theo sleeps with that bear every night. Mike was a giver. He loved his family. I cherish his gifts and love more then ever.

We will miss Mike’s sense of humor. He was so funny. His smile. He was a no fear kind of guy. I miss that even though it scared me. I miss his beautiful face. I miss the closeness he had with his father. Mike loved reptiles. They we a conflict at times! I would do anything to see him with his snake wrapped around him now. Mike worked for his dad for years. When Mike left us we sold the business. I would give anything to see him ready for work and in his Kakleys now. Anything.

Mike was very humble. He wouldn’t want any attention. He lived life at full throttle. He used to say he had never felt happy in his life. I hope he’s happy now. Remember him as a human being with a troubled soul. He did his best. He loved us. He loved Seth. His Rottweiler.

Ryan had a big heart and was devoted to the people he loved. He loved being a girl dad most of all.

His oldest daughter's first Christmas. He was like a big kid. So sweet.

His love for his family and his love of Christ.

As a family man

Big heart loved fully full of life

His smile and hugs

Big hearted

Nathan was a kind compassionate thoughtful young man with a heart of gold! His smile was infectious and lit up a room! He loved his twin brother and his family with all he had!

Nathan loved to go shopping he got that from his me! He would call me when he would find a good deal and brag about how much merchandise he got for the small price he paid!! He went shopping with me all the time and we would compete to see who could find a better deal !! He called me every morning, regardless of the day of the week around 7:30 to say good morning and have a great day!! I miss those phone calls!!!

I miss everything about him...especially the way he loved his family and friends!! I will forever miss his smile, his voice, his beautiful green eyes, and his all consuming hugs!!

He would want to be remembered as the person he was before the demon of addiction took him over!! He was kind and caring and thoughtful and handsome!! He was always laughing and smiling making silly jokes and he gave the best hugs!!
