Through the years we shared so many things. Fishing, cooking, parties. We even shared the same roof for most of your years. Our families were so intertwined it was hard at times to know where one ended and the other began.
You were one of my best friends, as would be said by anyone fortunate enough to have known you.
As children we laughed, played, and fought with the intensity that can only be known by the bonds of siblings. Though we were legally cousins, Adam I loved you like a brother and I know you returned the same. My heart is broken for our loss but I am glad to know there is one more person up there who is on my side forever.

ADAM WE LOVE ME
Adam, you made us laugh, you made us cry
Dental floss cat trap and tidy bowl dye
As kids so tight, the times that we had
Mad our parents and neighbors so mad
When we got older, not so much to change
Eager to hang, we had fun just the same
Laughing and hanging with each other and friends
On top of our lives we kept close thru the bends
Venting and sharing thru the good and the bad
Even the rough times, we're so glad we had
You are of the best men that we know
Only to ask, and Adam would go
Underneath the problems we share
...cuz you have the biggest heart we can bare
...love you so much always cuz, my friend, my brother, always and forever
me n max, who will always remember cousin Adam who dove into the ocean fully clothed (in a sweat suit, no less), splashing and smiling with a joy on your face that we will never forget...miss u so much already cuz oxox

Adam was a joy to know and I'll treasure the memories of his friendship forever. He was a sweet guy with a wonderful personality, always respectful, always helpful, always vulnerable. He truly cared about the people he knew, truly loved his friends and family and, even though I've seen him less and less over the years, someone that I'll truly miss. God bless all of the family and friends. The world is a sadder place today without his smile.
