Alexander Adam Obituary

Alexander MacRae Adam
September 7, 1965 - May 8, 2023
Hilton Head Island, South Carolina - Alexander MacRae Adam, 57, of Hilton Head Island, SC, passed away on May 8th, 2023, surrounded by loved ones after a difficult battle with cancer.
Alex Adam was born on September 7, 1965, to Alexandra and Robert Adam in Summit, New Jersey, and raised in NJ until moving to Walton, NY during his middle school years. Alex loved playing football, ran track, participated in drama club and student council when he was not working on his uncle's farm.
He attended Johnson & Wales in RI enhancing his culinary talents, then transferred to Johnson State College in northern VT where he could ski and hike graduating with a BS degree in hospitality in 1988. During college he worked for the Trapp Family Lodge when Maria and her son were still there, and then Ben & Jerry's Ice Cream at their first location - we think he made them famous! He also interned at Walt Disney World in Orlando, FL, which sparked his lifelong love and career at Disney Hilton Head Resort. Alex added the Disney touch to everything he did.
Alex loved nature, skiing and hiking with his sons. He was an excellent chef and lifelong artist, with a large family and even larger group of friends Alex's loss is truly and deeply felt.
Alex is survived by his two sons, Caleb MacRae Adam 24, and Noah Alexander Adam 22 both of Hilton Head, SC, his mother, Alexandra, and late father, Robert Charles Adam of Ocean Gate, NJ, his brothers, Robert C. Adam Jr. and wife Felicia Adam of Dallas, Texas, and Marc Duncan Adam and his wife Margaret Adam of Walton, NY. He will be buried alongside his grandparents in Fayetteville, NC with a celebration in Walton, NY at a later date.

My deepest condolences to Alex´s family and friends. If I could speak for the graduating class of 1984 I would say that we all have wonderful memories of Alex. He was kind, funny and the first to reach out to someone in need. My heart is with his family and most of all his wonderful mother who has always been very special to me. I wish there were words to ease the sadness and loss. He will be greatly missed and remembered by so many.
