You will be greatly missed. You were always so sweet and so kind to me. You made me laugh even when I was at that horrible job you always knoew how to make me laugh and smile. I never knew we were brother and sister in Christ for I am a member of BoxSprings Church of Christ and I guess thats why we were so cool. Not only were you a good classmate but a good friend and your christianity shined through. Maybe one day my brother we will meet again. Bless you and your family, friends, and loved ones. You will be greatly missed. Much Love Always*

I will always rememver Adam as a big kid with a huge heart. His cheerfulness and kindness were unwavering. I am thankful that what his life lacked in quantity, it possessed in quality.



"But we do not want you to be uninformed, brothers and sisters, about those who have died, so that you may not grieve as others do who have no hope. For since we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so, through Jesus, God will bring with him those who have died. For this we declare to you by the word of the Lord, that we who are alive, who are left until the coming of the Lord, will by no means precede those who have died. For the Lord himself, with a cry of command, with the archangel’s call and with the sound of God’s trumpet, will descend from heaven, and the dead in Christ will rise first. Then we who are alive, who are left, will be caught up in the clouds together with them to meet the Lord in the air; and so we will be with the Lord for ever. Therefore encourage one another with these words."

I Thessalonians 4.13-18

Doug, I am so sorry about Adam, however, he is now home. He will forever be your Guardian Angel and will always be with you. I love you so much and I wish I could take away your pain. You are a wonderful father and have meant so much to me in my life. May God wrap his arms around you and may he bring you happiness in your future. I hope you know how much I have cherished our time together and that is how I know what kind of father, person and christian you are. I love you...

I only knew Adam for a few short years, however he was always the light of the party. Even if people were sad before he arrived somehow he was able to make them happy without even uttering a word. I am bleesed and fortunate to have known this great man. His family and friends will forever be in mty prayers.

It was with great sadness that I learned about Adam. Adam was a great baseball player at Faulkner where I met him as he played ball with my son Beau. I'm sure that God has Adam in his hands and that there is baseball in Heaven and we will remember Adam in our field of dreams.

Cathy,

I was very sad to hear of your loss. I believe our Lord has a special place for Adam, since he chose to do the good and chose to not always take the easy road. I am sorry for my own loss of not getting to know him better while he was with us here on this earth. Just remember to hold true to the Lord and we will all see him again, when we are called HOME.

Your friend always, Esteban ;-)>

Words can not describe the sadness in finding out about this tragedy. Although I did not get to be with Adam and Mandy while they were growing up, I remember the joy in their childhood during the early years. It appears that it was the Hand of our Lord that brought Adam Home to be with HIM. He will be a New Guardian Angel with God to look after those he loves.

May your faith in God sustain you. May He bring you comfort today, courage for tomorrow and I know you will carry your memories of a wonderful young man in your heart always.

If there is any thing we can do, please let us know.

adam had blond hair, like the sun.

he walked into white rooms, shining, light seeming to whisper bright greeting thru the window frames. he always said hello. he was real, authentic, postive. and he was a real, authentic, positive friend. shade seemed to be a myth to him. happiness was his gist, which he was always ready to lend . . .

Adam had a stronger bond then just friendship with everyone that had the blessing of really knowing him, He was not just a friend but a brother, who brought an energy and closeness that was not of this world. He will always hold a place in my soul that i will take everywhere I'll go. My heart goes out to ya'll during this hard time.

Little League Baseball in this area has never witnessed a greater Father-Son relationship than that of Adam White and his dad who contibuted so much to so many. They presented to those of us in the stands, great examples of true sportsmanship, win or lose.

They openly demonstrated their love for each other, for the team, for the sport, and most of all for life.

It is our sincere hope that his dad, his mom and his sister will find peace and contentment in knowing that Adam, in his short life, left something positive behind for an awful lot of people; something that most of us will never do.
