Extending our deepest condolences to the Adams family. David was always smiling, energetic and made everyone around smile and laugh. I remember the good ole NCR days, playing skim ball in the pool, volleyball and just sitting around and talking. He will be dearly missed, RIP David. Craig "Supe" McCoy

So full of life. Lover of all things. So much charisma and intelligence and even a genius of as you would say " useless knowledge " but to me I was always impressed. I learned so so much from you and forever thankful to have known and loved you. Thank you. Not a day will go by without remembering how awesome you were. This world lost an amazing guy but heaven gained an angel to watch over all of us. .......Philippians 3:20 - But our citizenship is in heaven. And we eagerly await a savior from there, the lord Jesus Christ who by the power that enables him to bring everything under his control, will transform our lowly bodies so that they will be like his glorious body. Until I see you again my friend... I'll be missing you. I know Kashmire is on your shoulder. Love never dies.
