Our first Christmas without Adam has brought us so many unfathomable emotions unknown to us during this time of year. The presence of his absence is everywhere. While we feel the emptiness and lonliness, we feel that we are not alone. We are so honored that folks like you continue to hold Adam in your thoughts.

Although I did not know Adam I am extending my sympathy and a grateful thank you from the Milwaukee Public Library for the wonderful gift of books given in his memory. With his name in the fly leaf of the books he will be remembered for years to come. Friends of Milwaukee Libraries.

Cindy and Wayne,
My deepest condolence for your tragic loss. Adam is a reflection of the value you raised him in. You raised him very well. He followed his heart living his life. May God, family and friends help you through this difficult time.

Some times you meet some one and know that he is a Kindred spirit. He was an amazing student, actor and talent. He had a genuine love of life. It spread in and through everything he did. I was honored to know him. My thoughts and heart go out to his friends, family and urban family.
How amazing our lives were to have Adam in them.

I had the honor to have Adam among my students at UW Oshkosh. As I mourn this great loss I recall Adam so clearly--his sparkle, his great writing, his energy, wit and talent. To his family: he spoke of you often, wrote of you affectionately, and loved you very much.

From my family to yours, my deepest symphathies on the loss of Adam. I did not know Adam, but it sounds like he was a wonderful young man that eveloped life surrounded by loving family and friends-giving everything that he had.
Cherish the memories that will never be forgotten, but only conjured up during discussions filled with laughter and smiles I am sure.
May the good Lord watch over the family as you walk this journey and may he hold Adam in the palm of his hand.
God Bless,
Brad & Ellen, Sydney & Lyndsey Gulbrandson

"There is no greater love than this: that a man lay down his life for his friends." Jesus had men like Adam in mind when he said this. My thoughts and prayers are with family, I am sure you are deeply sad but incredibly proud of Adam. God bless,

Rest in peace, Adam Briesemeister. You were truly an admrable fellow activist and a lovely person to be around. Your passionate contributions to the movement for freedom, justice, and equality in the world will not be forgotten. You've touched many lives, many whom you do not even know personally. Condolences to your family and friends.

Adam and I crossed paths on many different creative projects during our mutual time at UW-Oshkosh. He was an extremely gracious, kind, and warm human being with a patience and grace for acting that is rarely found today. The world will be aching without his charm, work, and sensibilities in it.

Dear Briesemeister and other families,
I am sorry for your loss. His last name means Silver Birch Master (or Master of the Silver Birch) in German. God bless him and his family.

Our deepest sympathy to your family. We have you all in our thoughts and prayers during this very difficult time. We are not surprised that Adam gave of himself to help others....his kind heart, his family values and his journey to Eagle all helped him become who he was. So many people are mourning his loss but it is evident that Adam's spirit will continue to thrive in all the lives of the people he touched and made an impact on. In his short life, he accomplished more and enjoyed life more than most. He was truly a special gift.
God Bless,
The Mahoney Family

I know it had been years since we spoke, and I'm sorry. It still doesn't feel like you're gone. I loved you like a brother even after all these years. You never forget how a person makes you feel, and you always made me feel special. I still have pictures of you in a dress and from plays we did together, from anime conventions and I tried to find them all but I don't even know why I was looking for them, it isn't like pictures will bring you back. You had a strong soul, and you went out the way people dream of going out. You went out as a hero. So appropriate for you. I cried. I thought of all the things I wish I had said, but hopefully you know them now. You're forever a great person. I know the world feels this great loss. Go in peace. If there is something greater than resting in peace, rest that way. I know if I keep your memories alive, you'll never truly die. I hope you know, you were loved.

Adam was my first real friend and one of my strongest memories from my chaotic elementary years. I wouldn't be the man I am today without him. My heart goes out to his family and those still close to him at the end.

I'm not sure how to express with words what a tragedy this is. Adam was an amazing person who made the amazing come out in others as well. I never knew him to be uncharitable or unkind to any other being. He will be missed and remembered by so many he touched. My thoughts are with all of his family and friends.

I sat and stared at this little box; and no words came. I'm not sure they will. My condolences.

Adam was a great actor, a genuinely nice human being, and a hero. I cherish the time I got to spend with him, creating the art I love with a man who added his own touches to that art. My condolences to his family and friends for such a tragic and early loss. Goodbye, "Tony/Caleb".

Adam was passionate about creating a better world. His leadership, integrity and selflessness leaves a tremendous void in our community. Although, his passing is shocking and sorrowful, he accomplished so much to be proud of. It was a privilege to know him.

My heart aches for such a loss. All of us that shared time with Adam onstage at UWO will never forget his contribution to our lives and memories. Adam, you will be sorely missed.

I knew Adam through theater. (I'm a composer.) Adam's acting made my music sound so much better! I will miss him. It doesn't surprise me that he died a hero.
