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

Mike was a charming individual with a big, bright smile and made friends wherever he went. He was funny, strong-willed and intelligent. He was generous with his warm hugs and loved being his parents' son, his sister's brother, and his nieces' uncle.

Any memory with Mike is a favorite, including the summers spent at the family cottage, watching sporting events and movies, enjoying a great meal, attending concerts, and having late nights with friends. The best memories are the little moments when we were all together enjoying each other's company. His happiest times involved being surrounded by family and friends. He cherished them above anything else.

We will miss his smile, his hugs, his sense of humor and his contagious laughter.

As an avid New England sports fan and movie lover; as a strong, brave, and caring individual who lived life to the fullest; and as the son, brother, nephew, uncle, and friend who was fiercely loved by everyone. He will be forever missed.

Ryan devoted his life to his family and those he loved. His genuine charm captivated the hearts of all those around him, including the hearts of complete strangers. Ryan was loved by many and his memory will forever live on. Rest in peace Ry Guy.

Michael was an amazing soul. He met friends wherever he went. He had an amazing smile and the best laugh. He was goofy and fun. I cherish my memories with him.

There’s too many great memories to choose a favorite. I love all the times Michael did my hair - even the time it turned orange by accident! I loved him pushing me in the shopping cart at target. I loved dressing up with him. I even loved when he poked fun at me.

I’m going to miss his big hugs and his laugh! I’m going to miss our adventures and just sitting around doing nothing together. I will miss him at my wedding (one day). I will miss the times we won’t get together on this earth.

I would like Michael to be remembered for the true person he was - not the addiction. I want people to remember his fun loving spirit, his laugh and his true likability.

Sara is a beautiful soul, friendly, loving, truly amazing with children they loved her and she them. Sara loved traveling and going on adventures. Sweet and definitely a people person. Would always stand up for the underdog!

Sara was born a leader and would offer often unsolicited advice to her basketball, swim and volleyball coaches. 😉

I miss everything about her

Sara would want to be remembered for her incredible empathy for people. Her hard battles with addiction and those she saved along the way. Many she met in rehabs credit her with helping them to get and stay clean with her positive nature

Abbey brought pure joy to her parents, grandparents, and brothers. She was beautiful, smart, caring, and funny.

There are so many favorite memories of Abbey, especially on family vacations all over the world. She was intrigued by people everywhere we went and always wanted to travel more!

I miss everything about her, but probably her infectious laugh is missed by all who knew her.

She would like to be remembered as a music lover, as an artist, as an animal lover, and as a vibrant member of her loving family.

Kelly was a loving person willing to give more than she received with no questions asked. She was beautiful and had a smile that could light up the room. A free spirit with a beautiful sole.

There are so many memories we could not narrow them down to one.

We will miss Kelly in every aspect, particularly her smile.

We will remember Kelly for her kind spirit and loving personality.

Mia was a beautiful soul who loved her family and friends.

Many memories come to mind and it’s difficult to choose just one.

Miss her smile, sense of humor and the way she loved us

Chelsea was a beautiful, bright loving person. I miss her every minute of every day. She was my daughter, my friend and the love of my life.

As a loving caring person that would do anything to help others

Donnie was the person that turned mundane into excitement. He loved fiercely. If you knew him, you had no choice but to love him. His sense of humor, his laugh, his empathy-these are his best traits. Forever loved and missed 💜

Old soul...talented, loved by so many

Their BEAUTUFUL hearty laugh

Her physical presence

Angel from Heaven

Tiffany was an amazing person. She was talented doing hair, drawing, and being a friend.

My daughter and her had so many memories.

I will miss our talks

Tiffany was a hard worker and great friend

Ben was a loving old soul in a young man's body. His family was the most important thing to him in the world and he would be certain to hug you both coming and going. Ben was so witty and had a crazy contagious laugh and could always make you smile

Favorite memories include beach trips, where he always got stung by at least one jellyfish, ski vacations that always included a daredevil injury of some sort, watching the Netflix shows we loved together, grabbing way too many tacos at Torchy's while watching the Torchy's channel and belly-laughing, eating creamy jalapeno at Chuys, playing fetch with Roscoe, meeting him at work and watching how he ran the place wherever he was and how everyone he worked with loved him and he loved them.

There are so many things to miss- hearing his thumping car drive up outside and him bouncing in the front door with a "hola"! I miss his silly jokes and stupid pics we would send each other of dogs or inside jokes that no one else would get. I miss him calling me for no reason and always telling me he loved me. I miss our deep talks and I miss hearing him talk about his plans for the future. I miss his rough hands and the way his hair smells and the sound of him singing in the shower.

Ben would like to be remembered first and foremost as part of family he loved and who loved him- as a son, brother, grandson, nephew, cousin and as an uncle. He would like to be remembered for his hugs and "I love you's". He would like to be remembered to striving to get the most out of the time he had on earth- living big, loving full, helping anyone he could. He would like to be remembered for his sense of humor and his ability to turn any negative into a positive no matter what.

My big brother was quite & shy but had the biggest eyes filled with lots of love

My favorite memory with drew is the jokes he would tell with his laughter that would follow.

His eyes and beautiful smile.

Being the best brother he could be .

her laughter

huge heart mother of 2 boys that she loved very much

Alex was such a loving, protective, loyal, hilarious, forgiving person. He was child-like but his demeanor was intimidating. He was misunderstood. He gave the most ínstense hugs. That’s how you knew you were loved. He didn’t give those to everyone.

I have so many memories. Mostly, Alex was such a prankster. He had the best, funniest and sometimes inappropriate impressions/jokes. He loved to hide behind a door and scare the bejeesus out of me! He thought it was hilarious!

This might offend some, but Alex smoked weed to help him cope. He always tried to get me to smoke with him. One day I did and we laughed at each other so hard we woke up my husband. This was about three months before he transitioned. It’s a sweet memory I will cherish.

I miss his hugs and big presence. I miss his jokes and impressions at my expense. I miss his laugh that was music to my ears because it wasn’t often you heard it. I miss being able to see him as a dad to his young girls; one of which he never got to meet. I miss his smell and wavy, soft hair and kissing his head. I miss his beautiful green/gray eyes. I miss him saying, “Maaaa!” when he wanted something from me. I miss his unchanging and undying love for me as his mama.

As a good and strong young man who loved deeply. A big-hearted guy who was genuine and would always tell you what he thought-good or bad. A guy who was fierce but sensitive and not afraid to show how he felt about you. He was a loving son, brother, fiancé and daddy.
