Adam grew up and lived most of his life in West Orange, attending Mountain High School, where he excelled in wrestling. After graduation, he joined the Marines and honorably served his country. Eventually, Adam became a resident of Caldwell, where he continued to be a loyal and dedicated worker in his many endeavors.
Adam was known for his vibrant personality, infectious smile, and captivating charm. He was the life of every party and the heart of every gathering. Adam had a remarkable ability to connect with people from all walks of life, and his genuine kindness left a lasting impression on everyone he encountered. Adam approached life with an adventurous spirit and an open heart, always ready to embrace new experiences and make the most of every moment. He had a unique way of making everyone feel special and valued. His warmth and charisma left a lasting impression on all who had the pleasure of knowing him.

I just found out that Adam passed away and I feel so bad. We went to high school together and Adam always made me laugh. He was such a warm hearted and funny guy. Back in high school, I did a whimsical portrait of Adam that was commissioned by his wrestling coach. Great memories... My deepest condolences to his family.

Im an American living in Mantangale, Balingoan on the island of Mindanao. I´m back in the states currently but said they just had a large memorial for Mr. Mayo in the cemetery behind our house. Just thought maybe his family back here would want to know they made it quite a big deal for his memory. I never met him but my wife and I were excited to see the construction of his house across the road from us there in the Philippines and was told it was being built by another American. We wondered why the construction stopped abruptly in August. So sad to hear! Our wishes and condolences for your loss. Maybe it will help that he did have impact all the way over in this part of the world.

I was very sorry to hear of Adams passing. Life can be pretty interesting at times. Although I went to HS with Adam and hung out in common places, we didn't really have any conversations. Years later Adam was our server at a restaurant after my husband and I went house hunting (places out of WO). Adam talked me into checking out his house he had for sale, and a couple months later we purchased it. We've been here since 2001 (:
May Adam Rest In Peace
