I am so sorry to hear about Adam's death. I met Adam while attending Washington State University. I had the honor of sharing Adam's passionate relationship with the great outdoors while attending WSU. We enjoyed snowboarding, fly fishing, whitewater rafting and rock climbing together among other things. I am shocked to hear about all this as I had no idea of his mental struggles. I am not sure why I thought about Adam recently but today I decided to google his name and see if I could find out where he was living. He visited my wife and I after graduation probably 5 or 6 years ago to enjoy some hiking and rock climbing in Leavenworth Washington. I remember him being such a positive person and always smiling just like the picture shown in this guest book. Tragically enough I just got back from a funeral of a good friend of mine who also died a few weeks back. Coincidentally she shared a lot of Adams outdoor passions and personable qualities. Life really does not seem fair sometimes bit I know they are both at peace in a better place. I am honored I had the opportunity to get to know Adam. My thoughts and prayers go out to all of Adam's family and friends.

Dear Knapp's, you don't know me, but I remember Adam from when he was in high school with my son. My heart breaks for you in this unbelievably sad time, and I just wanted you to know that I, along with I'm sure many others that you don't even know lift you up in prayer. I admire your courage in sharing Adam's story, in the hopes that it can help others who struggle with the same illness. May God's grace and comfort surround your family.

Knapp family,
Adam was a great person and even a better friend growing up. My fondest memories of Adam was playing "Home Run Derby" in my back yard. He will definitely be missed by everyone he touched. My thoughts and prayers go out to everyone.
