ADAM BEZDEK OBITUARY

Adam Andras Bezdek, born March 2, 1995 in Opelika Alabama, passed away on June 17, 2022 in West Virginia. He is survived by his parents Maria and Andras Bezdek, his sister Zsofia Bezdek, his grandmother Maria Zsak, his partner Dori Kacsoh, and by numerous friends and other family members.

Adam's early education was in Auburn AL, where he graduated as valedictorian from Auburn High School. Parallel to completing the International Baccalaureate (IB) Diploma Program at AHS, Adam also completed the Hungarian K12 program at St. Francis High School in Szentendre, Hungary. Although this meant that Adam had to move back and forth between the two countries three times a year over a period of ten years, he never regretted this unique arrangement. In fact, Adam was very thankful for being able to make numerous true friendships both in Hungary and in the US. These friendships were expected to last for decades to come. While still in high school, Adam learned German through several summer language programs at the Goethe Institute in Budapest. He then received an Emory University academic scholarship which allowed him to earn a Bachelor's degree in Applied Mathematics and another Bachelor's degree in Chemistry, both during the same four-year period. During his first year at Emory, Adam was a member of the Emory rowing team, and became a certified barista (to satisfy his own interest and to impress friends). More importantly, Emory University in Atlanta was the place where Adam met Dori Kacsoh, also a student at Emory University, and they became true soulmates and planned their future together. Adam deeply cared about his friends. Over the years, Attila, Laci, Barnabas, Jack, Jon, Joel, Randy, Jordyn, and Tavin became household names. After graduating from Emory University, Adam earned a Master's degree in Mechanical Engineering from Georgia Institute of Technology in Atlanta. While at Georgia Tech, he held internships at Porsche Atlanta and then at Delta Cargo, also in Atlanta. After receiving his Master's degree, Adam accepted an engineering position at Procter & Gamble in West Virginia. In his position, Adam was responsible for the implementation of many important Automated Guided Vehicle (AGV) systems. His new procedures were reapplied to other P&G sites with AGVs. It was then that his promising life abruptly came to a halt. Adam passed away at the age of 27, due to a fatal single car accident that occurred in West Virginia. Adam was in the front passenger seat properly buckled up. To celebrate his life, a mass will be held at the chapel of the Franciscan High School in Szentendre (Szentendre, Aprily Lajos square 2.) on Sunday, September 18, 2022 at 14:30 pm.
