Adam Carlberg Obituary

Adam Lee Carlberg, 22, passed away February 20, 2013. Adam enjoyed working outdoors, hanging with his family and friends, and always had a big heart and would help anyone that needed it. Adam is survived by his mother and step-father, Gina and Lee Wassenaar, father and step-mother, Mark and Heidi Carlberg, sister and brother-in-law, Stephanie and Jonathan Kooistra, his grandmother, Ethel Gobbato, and grandfather, Alfred Carlberg. Adam is also survived by several step-grandparents, aunts and uncles, step-aunts and steps-uncles, and numerous cousins. Adam was preceded in death by his grandfather Giulio Gobbato, and grandmother Barbara Carlberg. The family would like to invite those to share the life stories of this wonderful young man on Friday, March 15th, at 11:00am at the American Legion, 134 Harrison Street, Sumas. The service will be casual attire, Adam loved hats, so wear your favorite hat and come as you are. The family would also request that you wear a splash of John Deere green or yellow since this was Adam's favorite tractor. In lieu of flowers, please consider a donation to Pass-The-Hat Foundation &/or the Adam Carlberg Memorial Fund (at any branch of Peoples State Bank) so we may help other families in their time of need.

To plant trees in memory, please visit the Sympathy Store.

Adam,

I remember growing up, you, Steph, Chuck, and me were always together. Whether we were at your moms house, your dads house, or my parents house. I cherish the memories I have of you growing up, and all the laughs we shared together. To this day, you are the only person I know that is scared of squirrels. It is part of you who are, and always will be. Everytime I see a squirrel I think of you, I always have. Anyways cousin, I love you very much, and you will always be in my heart. Watch over us all up there, we will always need and love you.
Rest in Peace Cousin <3
