Adam was born on March 28, 1981, in Freeport, IL. to Mark C. Smith of Daphne, Ala. and Debra (Morrow) Wenger of Lostant, IL.
He was a sweet and gentle little boy. As a young man, he lit up the room, loved laughing and making people laugh. His energy and enthusiasm caused hearts to smile. He enjoyed writing and dreamed of, someday, writing movies. He was a diehard Packers and White Sox fan. He was a one-of-a-kind person, dearly loved by his family and they supported him, in his struggles, the best they could.
He married Alyson Burkott on June 30th, 2007.
He is survived by his wife, parents, sisters, Nicole (Rick) McDaniel and Ashley (Tony) Gonzales; grandparents, Jane Mellnick, William Morrow Jr., and Eleaner Dailey; one niece, five nephews, and many uncles, aunts, cousins, and friends.
He was preceded in death by his grandparents Tillman Smith, Shirlene Morrow, Ransom and Levon Fehr and Harry Dailey; and father-in-law Joseph T.J. Burkott.
