Adam Thomas Rzepka

Sue and Tom Rzepka,
May God hold you in the palm of his hand and hold you to his heart as you mourn the terrible loss of your dear son. Adam went to school at Burbank with my daughter Rachel. I remember him making a computer generated presentation at a parent meeting and I was amazed at his technological skill at such a young age (fifth grade, I think). I know that my daughter always spoke highly of him as a smart, kind, friendly classmate that she admired. I will pray that you will be...

Adam and I went to school together since the 2nd grade until we both graduated from high school. I have never met such an intelligent and genuine person. At Burbank, as well as Whitney Young, the computer lab is where you could find Adam if he wasn't outside at lunch or playing kickball or baseball with Mr. Harrington in grade school. He knew more about how to work those labs than most, if not all, of the people that were paid to work in those labs. Adam will be greatly missed and my thoughts...

I remember Adam from Burbank school as a warm, funny guy who was always willing to help students (and teachers) with their computer problems. He was admired by everyone who knew him and we missed him when he left the school. My heart goes out to his family and loved ones who knew him best.

Adam was a great guy when I knew him at Whitney Young. He was funny, insightful and I wish I got to know him better. I hope things work out for his family during this troubling time.

I am sorry for your loss.

I can't believe this...From back the days of the Whitney Young Academic Center in division to college days talkin about Jabari on College Hill, Adam was always my friend, a great guy, and a genius. He will be forever missed.

To the Rzepka family and Amy,
I knew Adam for a short few years through Whitney Young's Academic Center and 3 years of high school there. I also worked at Leson Drugs, where he came in occasionally. Adam was a kind, gentle, GENUINE person. He had a good heart and he was a friend to everyone. Adam will truly be missed by all and I hope that you find comfort knowing that Adam will watch over you. I will keep you all in my prayers. Adam will always be remembered!

In memory of Adam, I would just like to say that I hope he rests in peace and is well taken care of in God's hands. My condolences to everyone close to him. As a student in his division at Whitney Young and as a student at Depaul, it was always a pleasure to see Adam around. I will never forget his handiness with computers and his photographic memory. He will surely be missed.

My deepest condolences go out to Adam's family, his friends, and his girlfriend. I had the pleasure of being Adam's classmate for the last year and a half at Depaul University. Over that period of time I got a glimpse of what an incredibly intelligent, caring, and funny person he is.

The two of us would sit towards the back of our Organic Chemistry class and one of my last memories of him just a few weeks ago was seeing Adam laugh and smile as I took out some binoculars to see...
