Adam,
You were all of our Big Brother on USS Sacramento! You showed all us young guys how to wear the uniform with Pride and kept us humble by telling us your USMC stories and how the Corps worked. May the lord look over your family. God Bless you shipmate until we see you again!

Adam always managed to see the good in others and even when they annoyed him he always made an effort to find a middle ground. I was one of those that annoyed him. Junior sailors tend to do that. Adam was brilliant and kind. He inspired me to do many things better not just for myself but for those around me. I will miss you, Brother.

Adam is such a sweet sweet soul. He was an excellent former coworker of mine at Cox Communications in the Technical Support area before he moved on with his deserving promotion to Cox Tech Solutions. He will always be remembered with love. My deepest condolences to the family, Jean, and many dear friends.
Sincerely,
Ashleigh Lee

I am so shocked and saddened by his passing. He was the apple of his Granny Jo and Pa Pa Wallace's eye. I remember his PaPa proudly showing me his prom pictures and telling me how proud he was of him when he graduating from high school. I can still see that sweet smile on his little boy face. My prayers are with his family, especially his mom, Brenda. Once again I'm so so sorry.

I cannot believe that Adam is gone. He will always be my closest cousin and dear friend. He encouraged me to join Mensa. He made witty t-shirts for me. He helped my mother after my dad died in ways that I could not. Adams was generous, loving, funny, smart. He is gone too soon. He is my blood brother. Words cannot express how I feel.
