I´ve always loved to travel, even though I haven´t had many opportunities to do it myself. That´s why Adam was such a blessing. He went to places I´ll probably never see, yet his videos made me feel at peace with that. Through his lens, he explored the world with curiosity, answered the questions we all wondered about, and shared it all with a charm that was uniquely his. His passion for life, for discovery, and for the beauty around him brought hope. On days when life felt challenging or uneventful, Adam had a way of lifting your spirits. His gift of bringing the world to millions through a camera was truly priceless. Thank you, Adam, for everything you gave to this crazy world. You will be missed by millions for years to come. Prayers to your family, friends, and fans. May God bring peace and comfort to all who loved you.

I looked forward to watching his videos, they were entertaining and informative. I didn´t know Adam the Woo on a personal level. He appeared to be a really nice person. I am saddened by his loss. We can all learn from him. My deepest condolences go out to all the people that looked forward to watching Adam the Woo´s videos and to his family. May he rest easy in paradise?

Though we never met, your presence through YouTube was always a highlight of my day. Growing up back in 2012ish, my brother and I would watch all of your movie set videos and urban explorations, we´d quote "Join me, shall you?" when we started up the latest video. We couldn´t believe our eyes when you toured Nickelodeon Studios, seeing our favorite characters still emblazoned on the walls of the vacant building. You inspired us in a lot more ways than I can even think to credit you for, my art can trace its routes to your videos about dilapidating buildings and forgotten places. Rest in peace, and may your content continue to inspire, and your cool and calm demeanor set an example for others.

Adam, I was shocked to read that you passed. I really loved those videos of the backroad towns you visited at times, the small itty bitty towns :). It really felt like Americana to me. I did a spur of the moment, out of the blue chocolate chip cookie bake while watching one of those videos in the middle of the afternoon for no reason! Many condolences to your family. Rest in sweet peace Adam. We all here will miss you.

You're not gone, just somewhere else.. through the thin sheets and layers we can't touch.... Catching a glimpse occasionally... You and your soul lives on ... Continue you adventures and report back however God allows you... We'll be here awaiting...

I have been enjoying his videos for many years, starting when he was in Los Angeles. I loved those videos the best because I dreamed of seeing California, and Adam showed it to me. He moved to Florida, where I live, and I watched less of them because of the Florida content. I adored his videos with his family, and his trips across the United States and the world. He never let the grass grow under his feet, and he lived a fuller life than most people. Thanks Adam, for taking us with you over the years.

Where to even start? My husband and I have been watching your videos for years. The day I found out you were gone I cried and I still cry when I see people posting about you or I look you up on social media. It won´t be the same without a daily video. I never got a chance to meet you. I wish I would have been able to meet you we love your videos. Rest in peace.

I don´t think you ever knew just how much you´re vlogs meant to so many people around the world. You were part of my family´s daily life. I planned our first trip to Disneyland and Universal Hollywood because of you. Being from Scotland we were extremely excited to watch your trip to Europe, I loved your excitement at seeing the real Matterhorn from your room and I was so looking forward to you riding it again. I can´t describe the sadness I feel. Meeting you in EPCOT made our trip awesome. Thoughts are with your loved ones, especially your mum, dad and sister. All our love, Jen and Frank

What a gift his channel was! He took us places we may never go and gave us his unique, upbeat viewpoint. I started watching when he lived in his van and explored unusual sites across the country. No matter where his day took us, he made it interesting and real. I hope his family finds solace in knowing how respected and talented he was as he stood out among a sea of YouTubers. RIP Adam.

Oh Adam how you are missed. We now know that you was laid to rest in your permanent resting spot. May you schleep well friend. I only met you one time in Point Pleasant WV, when you went to see the mothman statue. You were a kindred soul. Your videos was an everyday occurrence in my household. When we found out you had passed away it was a sad day in my household. It was like we had lost a part of the family. As mentioned we watched everyday as a family. These last two weeks have been so different not seeing your videos. They were a routine and the routine has been broken without new videos. So now we are revisiting all of your videos from the beginning. May you rest in peace. May enjoy your heavenly piping hot caffeinated beverage.

I wasn´t going to say anything because I didn´t know Adam But I said "Heck it"! So I decided to comment. I met Adam only once and he was a rereally nice man. I know he was uncomfortable and awkward when he met strangers. That´s okay because so was I when I met him. He made people smile and in my case took me to places I will never get to visit. To his family I say I´m so sorry that he had to leave us and especially you. It seemed like it was very ill timed as well. However, as a person of faith I know as well as you all that God´s timing is always perfect. I´m sure it will be a rough road for you all but, I´m assured your faith will get you through this. You are in my prayers.
