Adam loved our Lord and Savior, he loved life, he loved his family and many friends, he loved his son and daughter they meant the world to him, and will be greatly missed by all. Adam we love you with all our heart and soul and we will see you real soon and may Jesus bless you until that day.
May you Rest In Peace from your fiance, brothers, parents, daughter and son.
