Clarence Adams Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on Jan. 28, 2005.
Clarence Adams III was the kind of guy who always made time to phone a younger sibling. "He would tell me never to stoop to a low level, to always carry myself with respect," said his brother, Mykale Adams. "He was always looking out for me, no matter where he was." Adams, 28, of Richmond, Va., died Sept. 7 when his vehicle hit a roadside bomb. He died the day after his birthday, which he shared with twin sister Pamela, a doctoral student. Adams, who loved Cheese Nips and Slim Jims, was a star running back in high school. He went to Virginia Union University on a partial athletic scholarship and joined the Army to help pay for the rest of his education. He was deployed to Kosovo twice and was based at Fort Hood. "He was a true soldier," said his father, Clarence Adams Jr. "He wanted to do right, he wanted to make a difference in the world, and that's why he went." His oldest daughter, Indya, 8, agreed: "He always thought of others before himself. He loved you no matter what." Adams also is survived by his wife, Tanja, and five other children, Aaron, LaShawndra, Oshea, Savannah and Asya.

Hey Hubby,
I just wish I could hear you laugh and hear your voice one more time. I even miss your powerful bearhugs.... they did hurt sometimes....
You know we made one real good friend here, and he took Aaron in , helped him through this hard time dealing with you being gone. Well, he came to be with you now, I'm going to try to be there for his wife. That's three amazing people that left us way to early...
I love you hubby, always will .....

Big bro,

I still think of you all the time and tell people about you. I talk about how funny you were and how silly; how much you loved your family, my sister and your kids; how protective you were and how caring; how crazy you were and how goofy; how smart you were and how knowledgeable; how down to earth you were and how humble; how creative you were and how spontaneous.... I guess I could continue forever, but in the end of the day it all comes down to this - you are deeply loved and missed.

It still hurts....

Love always,

Lil sis

Id like to take the time to say thank you to everyone who still post to this day about my big brother, he was the light in most of our lives. Now that he's gone we as a whole need to embodie some if not all his characteristics. God bless everyone who posted, came in contact, and work with my big brother

Love you man

Just another day bro, I was sitting at my desk thinking about you. I still remember your laugh and smile. Still days I sit back and cry, I remember knocking on your trailer in Camp Victory Baghdad, in 2004. I remember us in Fort Leonard Wood in 99, I remember us in 1st Cav before we went to a place that changed our lives forever. Things can't never be forgotten. I can't believe it has almost been 13 years but I remember it like it was yesterday. I love you brother.

Hey big bro...

I saw a video online today about people coming home from Iraq and Afghanistan surprising their families. Although I thought it was one of the most beautiful and sweetest videos I've seen in a very long time, it sure was heartbreaking just as much.
How I wish you could have come home to us... We all miss you dearly; especially my nieces and nephews - your kids... We love you and you are in our hearts always...

hey dad I turned 18 today I remember my 8th birthday like it was yesterday I had to celebrate it without you being there physically. I think that's the day I had finally realized you were never coming back and that you were in heaven looking down on us all. I remember walking outside with my ice cream and I held it up to the sky so you can take a bite out of it. I swore up and down that you actually did bite my ice cream but no one believed me haha. it's been hard growing up without you here but I'm trying my best to make you proud. I love you dad.

Hi Cuz,
Here's another year to acknowledge your birthday. Like Michelle stated, it's hard to do so without feeling the pain that Pam just might be sharing, then again she is such a strong woman, she is probably alright. You have a cousin whose birthday is today, my brother Pudding. Words can't even express how I feel now, the emptiness in my heart knowing that we can't tell you how we feel visually, but I know in my heart you can hear and see us spiritually. I try to stay in contact with Indyia through Facebook but I have had a lot of medical problems so travel has been limited. I will most definitely see her this year, hopefully next month. I haven't talked to your dad in a long time so I will look him up also. All I can say now is that I feel your spirit and want you to continue to keep all of our family happy and smiling up there. Love you bunches,Cuz,
Duco

Clarence
I don't know where to start! It is very difficult saying Happy Birthday to Pam knowing September 6th has become one of the most painful days of her life. It seems wrong to not acknowledge such a beautiful date as this is the date The LORD blessed the world with two incredible people, you and your twin sister, Pam! Still after 8 years September is a very emotionally charged month for me. Eventhough 8 years has passed the pain always seems fresh! Clarence, we love and miss you dearly! Continue Resting In Peace in the presence of The KING!
Our love to you for all eternity....

Clarence,

It is that time of year again. High school football is in full swing. This is your week. Our players know how big this is. We won't let you down. I started telling stories about you yesterday. I never get tiried of telling them. I am going to ask our RB to wear #33 this week, in your honor. He reminds me a lot of you. He is strong, tough, and runs the ball very hard. This tribute is special. There are so many players, who know about you. Even the kids here in Broadway think of you as a part of the football family. We miss you!

Hey dad, I know I haven't wrote on here since 2007. it's been 5 years since then. crazy huh? I miss you more than ever. sometimes I cry unexpectedly hoping that somehow someway you were still alive. sometimes I feel like you'll walk through our doors. high school is harder than anything. I've never failed at anything really until 9th grade second semester. it's just really hard but I got everything back up. and I did the same in my sophomore year. I'm kind of scared to go to school again. I just hate it so much but I want to make the fam proud of me so I just suck it up. Is it bad that I'm contemplating what I want to be when I grow up at this age? I knew when I was younger that I wanted to be a veterinarian but now I'm not so sure and I'm terrified that I will go to college and fail. I don't want to be a failure. I want to make you and everyone else proud of me. I usually write essays in English about you well at least when the prompt is appropriate. But at the beginning of the year I wrote my essay about you and made the teacher cry, to be honest I was in class crying when I wrote it. No one noticed me though. I went to the school counselor a few weeks before school ended I was crying in school for the first time. like people actually seen me cry. she help me though. she told me to write you a letter and burn in afterwards so that only me and you would know what's in the letter but the truth is I don't want to burn anything that I write you. I want to remember it forever because lately I've been losing my childhood memories and I don't want to. but anyways this whole thing is probably confusing. it's like almost 8 in the morning and I haven't gotten any sleep. I just want you to know that I love you very much and I miss you a lot. Sorry for not writing sooner and sorry for the horrible spelling back in 07 haha. Love you dad. say hi to opa and granny for me please. :)

Memorial Day =Earl F. Snead USNavy (your uncle)
Clarence Adams 111 USArmy (My Cousin)
Missing both of you daily, not just Memorial Day. Thanks to both of you for serving your country so well and with integrity. The world is a little safer since you served and because you gave your life for it is soooo much more dear to me. Words cannot begin to express how much I miss both of you. Wish I could have been closer to you than I was. Living in North Carolina put a little distance between us. Earl F. Snead was your grandmother"s only brother, (Thelma Jefferson), my father. Indya is growing like a weed and is talented as well as beautiful. I could say so much more to you but my heart gets sooo heavy from your loss. I have not heard anything from your other kids but would like to know how they are. Love you through eternaty,
Your cousin, Duco,

Good Afternoon Family and Friends!

I hope and pray that this email finds you all at the conclusion of a very nice Memorial Day Weekend!

Some of you may have already seen this clip from yesterday's news but if not, I just wanted to share it with you all in hopes that it will help us all to know that now Clarence and the other VA Soldiers that have been lost in this war will now not only be memorialized in our hearts but at the VA War Memorial as well.

What an honor and a privilege it is to be the twin of a True American HERO!

Clarence,
Time continues to fly by, but I think about you every day. All of our football players know your name and know your story. You have helped me in so many ways to teach boys how to be young men. They are proud of you and that makes me proud. Pam and David got to meet them last season. I am sure they would agree. Memorial Day is just around the corner. I always read a small passage about you that day to our guys. I hope it reminds them of how important your life continues to be. You continue to be a great friend and thank you for always being there for me. We miss you!

Hi Cuz,
Thinking of you at this moment and just wondering "if". If your were physically here, yes All of your family would be reallll happy, but your memories are cheerished deep within our hearts always. Indya is doing great in her developing years as a young lady, thanks to God and her mother. I know that she misses you and from her pictures, she looks just like a mini- you. I really don't know nor correspond with Tanya, but would really like to get to see your kids and to let them know that we love them also. Make no mistake, I'm sure that God is and their mother are taking good care of them as well. Your father and I are 1st. cousins and our bloodline is very strong and affectionate by nature. I say all this to say, I miss you l'il cuz, and same as My dad, I will always carry both of you close to my heart. Thanks, Earl Floyd, Sr. ( U.S. Navy) and Clarence Adams 111, ( U. S.

Hi Big Boy,
if you were here, you would be so proud of Aaron, he graduated from Navy Basic last Friday. It was awesome to see how far he has come, and part of it is thanks to you. You were his role-model, his hero. I just wish you could have been that longer. I noticed that Tanja misses you even more lately (didn't think that was possible). We all miss you. Keep taking care of your family.

Luv u

Well... this past xmas was the first time ever since you and Dad had to leave us that I actually was able to enjoy this holiday season. Does that mean I miss you guys any less? Of course the answer to that is no. I guess you just learn how to live with certain life circumstances better with time... However, I miss you very much again today. One of your big hugs would be the perfect birthday present right now... Until it is our time to meet again, I'll just continue to hold on to the great memories of the best big brother I could have ever asked for... Thank you for that...

As always you are on our minds and always in our hearts. A day still has not gone by that I have not thought about you. I guess some things will always remain the same...

I love you always and Indya misses you deeply!

Hey big bro,

you just crossed my mind again... and I once again realized how much you are missed here. I wish I could just pick up the phone right now and call you, tell you about whats going on with me, and have you make one of your silly remarks and make me laugh. I dont know why I miss you some days more than others, or why some days it just seems more real that you are actually gone. Maybe its just me... who knows... I just know that I really feel priviledged that I had you in my life, and that you called me your lil sis, and asked people if they cant see the resemblance when they looked at you funny after telling them you are my big brother! ;) I truly miss you right now... thank you for everything... Keep watching over my sister and those beautiful kids of yours! I love you...

Clarence,
A lot has changed since you passed away. I have moved from Richmond and my wife and I have two little boys now. Last spring, I was hired as the new head coach at Broadway High School. We are kicking off our second game tonight. To honor you, my players will be playing in your honor tonight. On top of that our team will try to score at least 33 points to honor your football number. We miss you.

Brad
