Take all your pain to the lord in prayer; he will see you through.

I have the honor of being Adam's friend. Adam and I shared interests of hunting, the outdoors and similar beliefs of right, wrong and world affairs in general. We could talk on many and any subject. Laugh and joke like kids, and plan activities and adventures that we knew may or may not ever happen. My son Nick and I had the privilage of going on hunting outings with Adam and sons. Adventures we won't forget. Adam was always a welcoming and generous host and friend. He always had time for a chat or visit. My family and I will cherish the memory of knowing Adam and are greatful for continued friendship with his family.
Adam, God bless. I will miss you.

I am so sorry for your loss … you and yours are in my thoughts and prayers. A friend told us when we lost my father-in-law this spring that when the body is absent the soul is with the Lord … and, we found such peace in knowing our loved one was happy even in our sadness.

That is a great picture of Adam, he hasn't changed in 25 years- always a warm and cheerful smile. My sister and Erin were middle and high school friends and I used to catch rides to St Thomas Catholic HS with Adam- I was a Fish and he was a Senior- we laughed a lot to and from school. Adam was always fun and outgoing and very generous with his time. Adam loved and celebrated life. Zachary and Noah, I thought your dad was a pretty cool guy. His personality was larger than life and he helped me adjust to a lot of new things and people at St Thomas. I am so sorry and my thoughts and prayers are with you Carolina, boys, Mrs. Dexter, Erin and Matt. God Bless.
