I am so sorry for your loss. I played with Adam when he was a little boy and hung out with him as he got older. A bit on the wild side, but always an upstanding guy. One of few kids in his age group with good intentions. He will be greatly missed.

Adams Family--

I became friends with Adam during the past few years and he was a truly good person. I can remember his smiling face and kind words. He had a special way of making you laugh and when he knew you were down he would bring you up. I was really sadden to hear the news of Adam. He was a unique young man and kind. God Bless you through this very difficult time. God Speed Adam..
