Dear Brokos Family, my heart, my prayers and my deepest condolences to you all at the loss of Adam. My fondest memories of him are when he joined our Adult Sunday School Class at Temple Baptist Church. He brought to our class much wisdom, insight, knowledge, and a uniqueness all his own that truly touched my heart and spirit.

I am deeply saddened to hear of Adam's passing. I was one of his roommates at Temple University and I remember how sensitive and funny he was. He had a beautiful singing voice and he was always trying to hit the deepest possible note he could muster. I hope he is at peace. My thoughts and prayers are with the Brokos family and Adam's many friends.

Adam was an amazing guy, really an experience. He's the kind of person you just can't forget, kinda makes an impression on your path through life. Met him at Otakon one night and thats all it took to become his friend, great memories. Though we may be drops in the sea that is this world, he definitely made some ripples. May the great memories shared and the feelings that linger help fill the void felt at the loss this world suffered. Here's to you buddy

I was deeply saddened by the news of your loss. With Adam in class there was never a dull moment. He added a spirit to class that I enjoy. May you find strength and peace in this difficult time. God bless you all.

Very sad to hear about Adam. Even after not seeing him for years or speaking to him, it's hard to hear of his passing. I can remember clear as day bus rides in Elementary school talking to him about Animorph books....And walking with him to the bus stop everyday during the high school years. Those walks were never in silence, he was always singing, or humming, or bum bum bumming to songs in his head. Prayers for the Brokos Family.

Our deepest sympathy to the Brokos family. My daughter attended school with Adam and Marching Band. I also had the privilege of knowing Adam from volunteering in the elementary school. Adam was a quiet but very polite boy and very smart. I always remember seeing his name on the honor roll. I'm sure God will appreciate your musical talents in heaven. May you be at peace now and may your family find peace as they come to deal with the loss of a loving son and brother.

I was in Broad Street Line with Adam at Temple. He is a certified BSL legend: a terrific singer who was a blast to hang out with. Everyone over here in Philly loves him.
