Jerry Adams Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on Aug. 19, 2025.
Reverend Jerry Lee Adams Obituary

Reverend Jerry Lee Adams passed away on July 14, 2025, in Kingman, Arizona. His beloved wife, Roberta Marie Adams passed away four months earlier. He is survived by his two daughters, Tiffany and Christy, his granddaughter Kira, and his sister Glenda.

Jerry Adams demonstrated an early aptitude for academics and a fascination with flight. He graduated as valedictorian in aeronautical engineering from San Jose State University. Yet it was a higher calling that ultimately guided his path. Feeling led to ministry, he pursued theological studies at the Sacramento Bible Institute, laying the foundation for his ministry and his association with the Independent Fundamentals Churches of America.

Throughout his ministry, and always alongside Roberta, his wife of 59 years, he combined his passion for preaching with a deep commitment to Christian education. Together, they devoted their lives to building and nurturing Christian schools in the communities they served, touching lives in Wilton, California; Vacaville, California; Ellensburg, Washington; Lake Havasu City, Arizona; and Kingman, Arizona, where they eventually retired.

His love for aeronautics never waned and evolved into a unique outreach ministry known as "Gospel Wings", providing church guest speakers, food, clothing, and other essentials to remote areas.

A Graveside Memorial Service will be held on November 10, 2025, at 1PM at Lake Havasu Memorial Gardens, 1698 Deer Run Drive, Lake Havasu City, Arizona (Block 61, Lot 21, Space 8); followed by a reception at Bethany Bible Church, 1200 Park Terrace Avenue, Lake Havasu City, Arizona.

In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in Pastor Adams' name to Kingman Bible Church, Kingman Arizona.
