Adam Goss Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by Baxter Funeral & Cremation Service on Feb. 6, 2026.
With profound sadness, we announce the passing of Adam Colby Goss, who left this world far too soon on January 11, 2026, at the age of 30. Adam's life was tragically cut short, and his family and friends continue to mourn the heartbreaking loss of someone whose presence meant so much.

Born on February 7, 1995, Adam was a cherished son, brother, and friend whose quiet strength, gentle heart, and steady loyalty touched everyone who knew him.

Adam was the beloved son of Kelcey McKenzie, who preceded him in death in 2003 after a courageous battle with cancer, and his father, Mark Goss, who survives him. He was also preceded in death by his grandmother, Bev Crem; aunt, Rhonda Tanner; and uncle, Richard Goss.

He is survived by his siblings who loved him dearly, sisters, Billie Lou, Mary Goss, Leanne Goss; and brother, Mark Goss Jr. Adam also leaves behind many aunts, uncles, nephews, nieces and cousins whom he greatly adored.

Adam graduated from John Glenn High School in Bay City, Michigan, in 2012, a milestone he was proud of and a time filled with friendships and meaningful memories.

He had many passions that brought light into his life. Adam was an avid fan of anime, a devoted Pittsburgh Steelers supporter, and someone who deeply loved music, often finding connection and comfort through the songs he enjoyed.

Above all, he treasured spending time with his family-the people who meant the most to him. Family meant everything to him, and the time he spent with them brought him joy, comfort, and a deep sense of belonging.

Those who knew Adam will remember him for his kindness, his compassion, and his ability to make others feel truly seen. His gentle spirit, humor, and loyalty left a lasting imprint on all who were fortunate enough to know him.

Adam's memory will be held close by the family and friends who loved him beyond measure.
