Shawn G. Adams Obituary

Hello,

We wanted you to know that we will be honoring and remembering your loved one this holiday season. We are sending Care Packages to our deployed troops in his name. Each package will carry the name, photo, service branch, rank and hometown of Shawn G. Adams US Army Sergeant.

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, their families, friends and many others who support our mission.

We will not forget. May God Bless you and keep you safe and strong.

Sincerely,
Charlie Gili & Family

To family and friends of SGT Shawn G. Adams. I am sorry for your loss. I pray you have the support you need during your healing from the loss of your beloved one.

I miss you all the time sometimes i thank you will be calling me to talk dad

Shawn was and is my hero. We served in the 3/509 INF (ABN) and deployed to Iraq in 2006. We lost Shawn on a terrible day in 2007. I will always remember his courage and sacrifice.

RLTW!

I went to Ranger school with Adams, I went to Iraq with Adams, I drove over the bomb 5 minutes before Adams. It was a cruel twist of fate that it took his truck and not mine. I am deeply sorry for your loss. I just hope that I accomplish half of what he would have. RLTW!!!

Shawn you have never our heart and still on our mind you will always be missed love grandma n grandpa Bruno

To the family and friends of Sgt. Shawn G. Adams:

Your accomplishments in the service of your country enrich us, your fellow citizens. That you were taken from us at such an early age is a tragedy not only for your family but for us all as well. Thank you so much for all that you've done for me and mine. Your picture not only shows the face of a valiant warrior, but it shows what a true patriot can look like. Sleep well dear son of a grateful people. Rest in peace in the arms of your Lord.

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 Shawn, but I am remembering
his service. He is my hero. !

The Other Side

i'm over on the other side
where life and death softly divide.
left my skin and bones behind
now i'm over on the other side.

can you feel me there with you?
my breath is gone but i'm not through.
loved you then and i still do
from over on the other side.

i can fly. really fly.
below the earth ... all through the sky.
tell em all i did not die.
i'm just over on the other side.

it's good here on the other side.
the sweetest songs...the bluest skies.
thank you for the tears you cried
but it's good here on the other side.

i can fly. really fly. below the earth...all through the sky.
tell em all i did not die.
i'm just over on the other side

the world is smaller than a needle's eye.
where life and death softly divide.
when you leave your skin and bones behind
i'll be waiting on the other side.

i can fly. really fly. below the earth ... all through the sky.
go tell em all i did not die.
i'm just over on the other side.

To the family of Sgt. Shawn Adams our prayers are with you in your time of loss .What he has done for our country and our freedom will not be forgotten.

I wish I had gotten to know Shawn better, but I will always be proud to have known him. I was a classmate of his at Vanden, and have had nothing but the utmost respect for this remarkable individual. Upon hearing of the loss, I was shocked. Even today I find it hard to believe that this has happened. To his family, I send my prayers. To Shawn, I send my thanks.

FREEDOM is not free; never was, never will be, We all gave some but Shawn gave the FULL MEASURE.

To the family of Sgt. Shawn G. Adams, Our thoughts and prayers are with you for your loss. What he has done ofr our freedom will not be forgotten. May God bless your family.

To the entire family of a wonderful Hero, I want to say I think of you often. You are never far from my thoughts. We have never met but our heros lie close together... one in front of the other the days they left this world were just 3 days apart. As I visited my husband I stopped to say thank-you to your hero. I know it doesn't get better just different. Our love for our Heros lives on through us. I will for ever remember yours.

Dear Shawn,

I know I havent been by your parents house lately, but know that more then just a friend, you and joe were my brothers, I love you and miss you very much,
As a friend, you were a great friend, as a "brother" you were one in a million, and well, you were everything.
as a soldier, you were brave, and we lost a great person on earth, but maybe god already had a different mission for you out there with him,
We miss you bro!!!

Shawn you were such an incredbile man..I just remember seeing you and smile..the last time I saw you was graduation.And then seeing you at the wake..I wanted to smile so bad but I was just hurt. You are my hero. I know your in heaven still protecting us..I love you and I will see you again some day..To your family I hope you know what an incredible person he was and how lucky you were to have him your life...

To the parents of Shawn, I would like to extend my heart felt sorrow as I know what you are going through and what you will yet go through in the coming weeks. I too am the mother of another fallen soldier and with God's continued support in my life I try to reach out to other who might need the support of someone who has been where you are. I want to offer you the support you may need to contact me anytime so that you may vent, talk or just seek comfort I am here for you. As a Gold Star Mother I've reached out through God's blessings to many across the country and we have a good support group. May God continue to give you and your family the love, comfort and healing that you need. In memory of my son SPC Harry (Buck) Winkler III KIA Samarra, Iraq November 12, 2006

SARGEANT ADAMS,

I just wanted to THANK you for fighting for our country and our freedom. You became a very successfull, very impressive young man. I am proud of you for all that you have done in your life. I send my sympathies to the Adams Family. I am very proud your son for all that he did.
Love Always

To the Adams Family,
Deeply sorry for your loss of such a fine son. I can imagine the years of pride you've had as your son grew to become such a great man. I can not imagine the pain and sorrow that fills you with his loss. His service to our country will never be forgotten.

To Sgt. Adams,
I'd didn't have the privledge of meeting you, but our moms work together.
I'd like to thank you and your family for the sacrifices you all have made, being a military family. I currently have a brother serving in the Army, as a .50 cal gunner, Cavalry Scout. Each time I speak to him on the phone, he tells me to "sleep tight," even if it's in the middle of the day. How can I tell him to do the same? Before I had a brother serving in active duty, I didn't fully understand what military families went through. They make sacrafices too. I have a better understanding of it now.
From the bottom of my heart Shawn, thank you for keeping us safe!

To The Adams Family, I am so sorry for your loss you all will be in our prayers and thoughts. This is a difficult time and if you need anything or maybe just to talk call me.

To the parents of Shawn Adams
We can't even begin to express to you how we feel about the loss of your son. We are so sorry and our prayers are with you.

Parents of Soldier 3/509 Airborne, (Jason O'Connor)

Dear Laura, Bob, Lacey and Samantha, I am so sorry for you loss. I know nothing I say will make things better. But you need to know that there are people out there that care and feel for you and your family. I remember Shawn as a loving brother. I remember coaching Lacey in softball and he would come out and shag balls or do whatever I wanted him to do. It has been that long since I had seen him. I am sure he was a wonderful young man. I will keep your family in my prayers.

Dear Family and Friends of Ranger Adams,
I'm so terribly sorry for the great loss of Sgt. Adams. I never met him, however I am a sister of a fallen Army Ranger as well. I live in Fairfield, and I didn't hear of anything until today when I saw the cover of The Reporter. There are no words I can say that may ease your pain, just know that my prayers are with you.

Dear Laura & Bob,

When we last saw you, we were at a graduation dinner. And what comes to mind is the pride in your faces when talking about Shawn. Your love and care for him will be remembered by all your friends and family. We wanted you to know you are in our thoughts & prayers. Words really can't describe how we are feeling for you. Godspeed Shawn...and thank you for your courage, fighting for what you believed in and protecting our country.

To the Family and Friends of this Soldier:
I will stand in grief with this soldier's family to honor him. 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 guestbook for the rest of my life, but I promised Brent that neither he nor any like him would be forgotten and so I will continue until the day there is no longer the need.
We lost our son SFC Brent A. Adams on 12/1/05 and it seems like yesterday. I wish so badly there were things I could say to you right now to make the pain you are feeling go away, but I know first hand there simply are no words that will bring you the comfort and peace your heart aches for. Just know that you are not alone. My heart, thoughts, and prayers are with you all as you go through this tragedy moment by moment and as you mourn this loss.
We don't know each other, will probably never meet, but will forever be united in the loss of our Heroes. We have, unfortunately joined a group none of us wanted to join, an ever-growing group of families in this situation. May God grant you peace and strength to get through this and be able once again to smile at a memory rather than have only the tears that flow so easily now. To be so proud of your loved one and so saddened at the same time is a mix of emotions very difficult to deal with as our hearts both burst with pride and pain together.
I am sorry that I never knew your soldier personally. While they can never be replaced, neither will they ever be forgotten. You must trust that sometime, someday the loving memories you have will help to sustain you and help you go on. This courageous soldier will forever be your Angel watching over you all for the rest of your lives. It's what brings me some measure of peace and comfort and I hope it will you as well.
To his family and friends in pain, I offer this comfort: When you find yourself in that dark sorrowful place, think not only of how you will miss him, but instead recall the years, days, hours and minutes gifted to you by his presence. The one thing that cannot be taken from you is your wonderful memories that now will mean more than ever.
If you ever want to talk, I'm only an e:mail away and would love for you to tell me more about your Hero.
God Bless this soldier and family who gave all and God Bless legacy.com for setting up this site where families can so quickly share their condolences and prayers with others like themselves.

Written to Honor the Service of Our Fallen Soldiers

Soldiers write history…they pay the price
Many miles distant, you live the life
Entered the Battle of our own free will
Out of Duty for Country, and we’d do it still

We hope and pray that all will find peace
In God, in the flag, in memories of valor
Gone now, our pride and courage you see
“An Army of One” our motto forever

Willing to risk all for love of our Brothers
We’re still Your Soldiers…and we showed the way
Our Lives too short, now pray for the others
Lived free died Heroes in lands far away

Deep within souls all cherished our Service
We’ll always have what some never know
Courage and Honor, our names forever
Lived life with purpose…just our time to go

We march in the Heavens with Honor and Glory
Missions accomplished we fought the Good Fight
Many years from now…we’ll tell the full story
Until that Day we will live in the Light

Our lives we laid down in a land far away
Still watching o’er you this night and by day
No need to talk…just know we are with you
There in your hearts and we hear what you pray

Yes we are your soldiers
Our lives we laid down
Still We guard o’er you
Still Duty bound

Entered the Battle of our own free will
Out of Duty for Country, and we’d do it still
We’ll always have what some never know
Lived life with purpose…it was our time to go.
The Parents of PFC Jeffrey Avery KIA Iraq 04/23/07

My thoughts and prayers go out to you. I am so sorry to hear of the loss of yet another fine hero. May God Bless and comfort you at this time. Thank you Shawn for fighting for us and paying the ultimate sacrifice.

Only two defining forces have ever offered to die for you, Jesus Christ and the American G. I.
One died for your soul, the other for your freedom.

My heartfelt sympathy to the Adams family in the loss of Shawn. I did not know Shawn, but my heart is broken and I am saddened for your loss of such a fine young person and hero. May God bring you peace in your heart as you reflect on all the wonderful memories you hold so close. Please know that you are in my heart and prayers. My heart was touched by the many wonderful/beautiful things written about you. Shawn you are my hero and you will NEVER be forgotten.
I send each of you a hug from the most inner part of my heart.
Love and Peace

may god keep you in his arms forevrer.

Please accept my deepest condolences, I lost my son on July 9th, I know how lost you are feeling right now. Know that people care. I did not know shawn but I am proud he chose to serve God bless; I will keep you all in my thoughts

We are parents of a paratrooper in the Army 3/509th, Able Company, serving in Iraq – Shawn’s Company. Our family is profoundly saddened by the news of your fallen soldier. This morning at the Washington National Cathedral in Washington, DC, we lit a candle in the War Memorial Chapel in memory of Shawn, and then we placed flowers at the graves of the Able Company soldiers buried at Arlington National Cemetery in honor of Shawn’s service to the country he loved and died for.

Please know that as Shawn’s spirit travels from the east coast to his final resting place in the west, he is in the hearts and minds of so many families and soldiers out of Fort Richardson. To Shawn’s family, thank you for your extreme sacrifice, and may the hope and promises of the resurrection grant each of you comfort and peace.

Our deepest sympathy for the family and friends of this fallen soldier, a young man serving his country. We honor you. Sincerely, The Wilson's from Vacaville

Offering our deepest condolences during this difficult time.

My deepest sympathy to Shawn's family and sincerest gratitude for this young soldier's bavery!

Thank you Shawn, for your willingness to serve our country!

Thank you Sgt. Shawn G. Adams. You gave your all for my freedom. God bless your family.

i know there are no words to express my deepest sympathies on your loss but please know that what you all are going through isn't only shared by your family, but also the friends, classmates, other military personel and even strangers. shawn was a good kid that had his head on straight, who didn't just talk about things - he did them ... i believe we all need more heroes like him, it's just a shame that he had to die in order to receive that title ... i also came to the realization that you don't always have to look "up" to your heroes - sometimes they're the kids in the class behind yours, like shawn.

you are forever loved and sadly missed - rest with sweet peaceful dreams...

My thoughts and prayers are with you in your time of grief. May your memories bring you comfort.

Our deepest sympathy goes out to your family. Our son Brad was out on patrol with Shawn in a different HUMVEE. Together, he and Shawn went through Airborne school, being stationed at Ft. Rich, and deployed to Iraq. Your son was a good friend to Brad and all the soldiers of Able company, 3-509th.We cannot begin to express our sadness for your loss. May God grant you peace and strength.

Sgt. Shawn Adams and Family:

Know in your heart that you are a true hero and will never be forgotten. All gave some, some gave all. Rest in peace. You will be missed by everyone’s life you have touched.

To the family, as the days and weeks pass, and as you return to life’s routine, may you continue to feel comforted by the love and support of family, friends, and all Americans for the sacrifice of one of your family members for our freedom. Our thoughts and prayers are with you. May you find comfort in the loving embrace of our Heavenly Father.

MEMORIES WILL GIVE YOU THE STRENGTH YOU WILL NEED TO PROCEDE!
GOD BLESS!
