Hello,
We would like to express our deepest condolences and also let the Adamkavicius Family and friends know that we will be sending Care Packages to deployed troops this week and we'll be dedicating several of these to your loved one. Each package will carry the name, photo and the hometown of Clayton L. Adamkavicius US Army Captain. We realize that this is a small tribute, but we do this with all respect and sincerity and we want you to know that it is made possible by thousands of like-minded individuals from across the American youth hockey community.

My Dear Clay, Remembering you always ! and never forgotten

I remember the days on Guam hanging out with you, Eddie Perez and Whit. You were a good man and so funny and smart. RIP big guy..... You will never be forgotten.

Remembering Clay...

We remember.

We served together in the same area in combat. I will always remember him calling me over to adjust my body armor so it wouldn't hurt and slow me down. I remember him showing me how to do things the right way. Ten years and I still remember, we all remember.

Clayton,

I just cannot believe it's been 10 years since you were taken from us.

I know I'm far from alone when I say you are missed just as much now as you were a decade ago.

I'll never forget that horrible day I learned of your death. So wrong in so many ways but, God must have needed you in Heaven for something very important.

I will always love you and miss you.

It's difficult to believe Clay has been gone for a decade. He was truly a good guy. He is gone...but not forgotten. From a classmate at Poly H.S. Class of 1981.

In Gods kingdom government there will be no more wars.
Isaiah 2:4

As Christmas approaches my thoughts turn to the loved ones of the lost heroes who paid the ultimate sacrifice in service to this great nation. Clay, you are thought of so often and I miss our chats. I will forever be grateful for your friendship, your sense of humor & kind heart. There will never be a day that passes that your sacrifice will be absent from the hearts & minds of those who knew you, served alongside you & loved you. Gone but never forgotten.

Never Forgotten

Dear Clayton, I hope you know how much so many of us miss you and think of you, not just on Veteran's Day or your Birthday or the anniversary of your flight to Heaven, but every single day. Thank you for your bravery and your friendship..I will always cherish you. You're one in a zillion and then some. All my love, M

Brother Clay, I'm still numb all these years later from the call. I talk to ya in prayers. We share a Woodford each year. I laugh at our shenanigans. I finally looked at some of the stuff from Bosnia. Miss ya Clay. Happy Veterans Day.

Hi Clayton, I was thinking about you like crazy but April is a month that always has me thinking of you...and my Dad...then it dawned on me it was your birthday....I wonder if in Heaven you still remember your birthday or do you remember the day you started your new life in Heaven? I guess I'll have to wait to find out, right? At any rate, I hope you know I always think of you and I was thinking of you on your birthday...

I remember Clay from high school football and he was always sacrificing his body for each and every play and I was saddened to learn of his fate. I will always remember his ways of lightening the mood at practice and during games, a hero to be sure.

Dear Brave Capt. Adamkavicius,

To go to war is one of the greatest hardships a person may face. To command troops on the battlefield must be so much more difficult. You died with the people you led, true blue to the end. Go take your place among the courageous who've given up their safety for their fellow man. Brave Captain, we mourn your loss. Rest in peace for your job is done. We salute you soldier.

To the Adamkavicius Family,

It is hard for me to find the correct words to sum up my thoughts as I write this entry because it has been so long since Clay and I served together. I was his Company Commander in the Nevada Army National Guard and Clay was my finest Platoon Leader. Clay was a true leader of men and a dear friend to many, and I was proud of the job that he did. He was professional, he was a deep thinker, he was trusted by all. I was sad the day he left my unit and heartbroken the day he left this Earth.

I will always think of Clay as my brother and friend.

Goodbye Clay. We will meet again.

We are so grateful for your service for our safety and freedom!

You are remembered and respected. Thank you Capt Adamkavicius!

Holding you all in my thoughts and prayers today.


The Wind on The Downs

“I like to think of you as brown and tall,
As strong and living as you used to be,
In khaki tunic, Sam Brown belt and all,
And standing there and laughing down at me.
Because they tell me, dear, that you are dead,
Because I can no longer see your face,
You have not died, it is not true, instead
You seek adventure in some other place.
That you are round about me, I believe;
I hear you laughing as you used to do,
Yet loving all the things I think of you;
And knowing you are happy, should I grieve?
You follow and are watchful where I go.”

(Written by Marian Allen during World War l )

Two lines that I wish you to keep near your heart…….

“You seek adventure in some other place.
That you are round about me, I believe”

I did not know Clayton, but I am remembering on
this day he gave his all.
He is my hero.

To the family of Clayton, our prayers are with you for your loss. What he has done for our country and our freedom will not be forgotten.

Its being almost 26 years, since Clayton had come to spend sometime with us in Brazil! Today, for an unjustified reason, I heard that he is not with us anymore. Being an oncologist we suppose to be ready to face death more commonly than others. My mind through this whole day has traveled back to the time we spent together in here, Sao Paulo.
We sure have had a wonderful time together. He studied with my brother in High School, he was an exchanged student at the time, and at the end of my brother’s program, Clayton traveled back with him to stay with us. We were teenagers at the time. So, describing all the adventures we had in here will be a quite long story. After he left, life drove us apart! I never heard from him.
Life is a crazy thing to be shortly explained. A person that we let away in our lives brings comfort to know that even with the absence, the person still alive in some part of this globe.
Today, I heard indeed that I have lost a part of my history. Clayton is not among us, and is not some place in this crazy and fanatic World anymore. But, thank God, in my mind, I have the memories of our laughs, of our great life while in here. Thank you Clayton, for all those great moments you let us share together.
Shall all the angels, to receive you with a stand up applause for the life you may have had. And from where you are, send the whisper of comfort for those who were left in here. I hope these note will allow them to know, that you have a part of you in our hearts in South America. So long my friend, from your friend Milo, in this sad Brazilian night! So long!

Clay,

You were/are the best. I miss you so much. Thank you for your service to our country and for being such a brave Captain. I'll never get over your death and I pray someday to see you in Heaven.

I will miss you until we meet in Heaven, if it's God's will and will love you for eternity.

To the Adamkavicius Family,

While nothing at all can even begin to replace what you have lost, I wish you comfort in the legacy Clayton leaves behind.

My deepest condolences for the Adamkavicius family. We worked together as Lieutenants in Nevada at Delta Troop, 1/221 Cavalry. I think of you often Bro, you were a great guy.

THANK YOU so much for all that you have done. You were truly a angel on earth.My sympanthy to the whole family. And thank you for allowing us to contiune to have this freedom that we get to enjoy each and every day. For every fallen soldier there is a star in the heavens and I will countiune to bow my head and pray.

If this person can stand in battle to ensure my freedom, then I will stand in grief with his/her family to honor him/her. For every fallen HERO there is a bright star that shines in the evening sky to remind us of the cherished gift we were given – even if for too short a time.
My heart breaks again as I sign yet another guest book of another courageous young soldier who gave their life so selflessly. I wish I never found myself in a position to have to sign another guest book for the rest of my life, but I promised LE RON A. WILSON (a dear friend KIA 7/6/07, 18yrs old) that neither he nor any like him would be forgotten and so I will continue until the day there is no longer the need.

In My Pocket

I have memories in my pocket.
They rattle among the change.

My memories of you are treasures I carry wherever I go.

They are stored in bits and pieces, parts of a beautiful whole
They give me comfort when I think I am alone.

Yes, I have memories in my pocket, like so much other stuff I keep there.

But of all the treasures I have, it’s the memories of you that are the most precious.

It's been one year now and I still miss you. I think about you so often. Sometimes I remember something you said or did and you still can make me smile. You'll always be held dear in my heart. I miss you.

In Remembrance of Capt. Clayton Adamkavicius, with a Multitude of Thanks, for this Brave Soldier's Courage, Dedication and Service to our Country and for Freedom.

May Capt. Adamkavicius Rest Safely in God's Loving Care and may the Peace of God continue to be with his loved ones.

I am So Deeply Sorry for your loss.

To the Family of Capt Clayton Adamkavicius, please accept my heartfelt sympathy for your loss. I was stationed on Guam, with Clay in the Line Delivery shop (Nov 86 - Jan 89). I remember him to be very easy going, very easy to get along with and alot of fun to be around. It was very easy for me to look up to him. He was a wonderful person and a good friend. I know words do not help the pain much right now but later, when you look back on this guest book, you will know that he and his family is still loved and missed so very much. I know you may not know me but I offer my help and support. If there is anything I can do just email me. May God bless and keep you all, and may you feel His comfort and peace through His everlasting loving arms. I will keep you and your family in my prayers.
Sincerely,

Wow. I am so sorry to hear about Clay. He and I were best friends while stationed in California (George Air Force Base). He worked in munitions maintenance while I worked in Line Delivery. We were like brothers. We met up again later on while in Guam. I am remembering how he was so full of energy and everyone loved being around him. He would do anything for anyone. What a loss.....

We are so sorry for your loss.May God bless you with comfort and peace.

Very recently I was deeply saddened to learned of your loss.

A few years ago I had the honor of working with (then) LT Adamkavicius.

He was a good officer, who took his responsibilities very seriously. He was a good leader, willing to work alongside his men and lead by example in order to accomplish the mission. The military needs more good men like him.

My deepest sympathies to the Adamkavicius family, to Clay's Friends and to those he served with. Clay was such a good friend. I miss talking with him. He always seemed to have a way to make me smile. I think of him often and his memory still can make me smile. I miss him. O Lord, Eternal rest grant him and let perpetual light shine upon him. God Bless you all, Kay Langedyke (Soda Springs, Idaho)
