Adam Kincaid

BELMONT - Adam was a warrior, a hero, a perfect son, the best big brother, an amazing friend, and the most beautiful soul. He was genuine, kind, and had a heart of gold. Adam had a way with people where everyone that crossed his path felt drawn to him. His contagious smile, his laughter, and humor could fill a room. He could make anyone feel at ease even in the most stressful moments.

He was a listener and one who could bring comfort to anyone who was in need. An avid gamer and well loved across the world in the gaming community. At the young age of 16 he had a taste and love for the finer things in life. He loved to travel and was so blessed to have experienced so many amazing trips over the course of his time here with us. Adam loved good food and had an experienced palette that would challenge most people well beyond his age. He surpassed many odds and broke barriers that no one expected while fighting a hard-fought battle against this rare disease. He impacted so many across the world. He taught us all that in the face of adversity we should face it with courage, strength and grace. Adam was loved by many and will certainly be missed by all. Our dear son, brother, and friend may you always remain Strong Like AK.
