When I think of Adam all I can think to do is smile. There isn't a bad thing I can think of about him. He was a beautiful person inside and out. I loved being around him, just sitten around with his sister Kaley (my best friend) and his brother joe and family laughing and having a good time. I met him when he was about 8 years old, for as long as i knew him I always got along great with him. It was impossible to avoid he was just such a great person with a great sence of humor. Love you and miss you a lot, you was practically my brother!

Well It's been a month to the day and it's still just as hard. Me and Adam were as close as two brothers could be. We talked often of growing old, and watching my daughter Abby and step daughter Kenzi and whatever kids he may have had grow up. He said often that Abby would tell her friends "I have the coolest Dad and Uncle there is." Abby and Adam had a great bond, and when she tells me "Uncle Adam can't come over no more" it just eats me up because shes far too young to understand. I can't think of a better person that walked this earth. The only thing that ever got him down was when people were mean to eachother or fought with one another. He was ten times the person I am, thats for sure, and to this day I am saddened that I lost not just my brother, but my best friend. I think will miss the card games with him and my wife Steph most of all, as we always had fun and always managed to laugh together.

See You in time Bro....Save me a good seat.

Here goes, this is very hard for me. Adam was my nephew and very special to me you see I had the most wonderful experience of being with Sherri when Adam came in our hearts on March 1, 1991. Watching a baby come into the world has to be the most beautiful thing to see. Sherri I want to thank you for giving me that opportunity. I do not think that I knew how much it meant to me until I was sitting at the hospital with you watching everything that was going on. I will always cherish the day that Adam was born. Adam will live in my heart forever.

Adam,
One of the hardest things I've ever had to do in my life was watch them turn off the life support. When I watched your heart beat slow down and eventually stop beating. In those few minutes a flood gate opened in my brain and all the memories I had of you seemed to resurface. I shared stories with the nurses about when Joe and I filled your diaper with all kinds of junk when we were little, and how you threw eggs all over the deck when you were three. I remembered how smart you were, not just book smart, but the wisest fifteen year old I've ever known. You had an old soul, I know that now for sure. I could never begin to express how I feel about all of this. I do know one thing and that is the fact that I was truly blessed when you came into this world. I know that we've heard the stories about how I couldn't stand the fact that I was no longer the baby but obviously I grew past that. I will always hold with me the fact that I watched you grow. I shared your life with you and got to be your big sister and I am so thankful. I'm glad that I got to be there for so many things and to see how funny and selfless and good a person can truly be. I know that fifteen years is a blink compared to the lives of some but you filled those years with many things that I'll hold with me until I see you again. I know that you'll be there waiting for me, for all of us, with your amazing smile and warm expression. You knew how to love and I'm so thankful that I got to be one of those people that you gave it too. I'll see you whenever that day comes (even though you told mom it'll be a long long time, haha) I love you...

Sherry and I were pregnant at the same time 15 years ago. Adam has contributed so much to my abilites to raising my own daughter, obviously without his knowledge being a new born.(lol) Unfortunately, Sherry and I grew apart after they moved to Logan. Although, keeping in contact with a mutual friend who kept us informed. I am truely sadened by the lost of such a young soul. I hope the good memories can give you stregth thru this time. Anything I can do, I'll be there. Just let me know. I only just found the service information, or I certainly would have been there with you to celebrate the life and love that Adam brought to so many people. God Bless

Adam made me laugh so much , he always came up with the funniest things that just popped up in his head. I am Sherry's good and close friend , Sherry is Adams mom, when Adam was only 3 or 4 years old , he used to stare at me and say he wanted to marry me when he was older, I could only tease him about that until he was about 9 or so, because he started to get mad ha ha. He once ask me after I had gained some weight if I had gotten a boob job , when he was around 6 years old , I laughed so hard I couldn't breathe. He always brought so much laughter. I loved him and will miss him so much. He shared his dreams with me of becoming a worker with Nasa someday, Adam was a 4.25 student and received student of the week. Adam enjoyed skate boarding and playing video games . He also loved wrestling. I know Adam is an angel and he will only bring a smile to our faces when he is thought of . Adam was never selfish he always thought of others. He was a child of a single parent , but he always loved his mom and whatever she could do for him was just fine, he never complained about not having everything under the sun. I will miss him so much and how he used to make me smile and laugh. bye adam
