Adam Joseph Walsh, age 45, passed away on November 13, 2025, after a long difficult illness. He is survived by his mother, Deborah McConnell, father James Walsh, brother Jeremy Walsh and wife Kate, nephews Liam Walsh, Jack Walsh, Finn Walsh, and niece Caelyn Walsh, as well as many aunts, uncles, and cousins.
Adam was born and grew up in Naperville IL, attended college at University of Colorado where he earned a degree in Graphic Design. Adam experienced a full, fun life up until his illness, enjoying his natural abilities at childhood sports and later skateboarding, snowboarding, and BMX biking, making many good friends along the way-always a 'kid' at heart. He was a talented graphic artist, musician, and visionary of life, and was very strong and courageous throughout his illness.
A visitation for Adam will be held on Wednesday, November 19, 2025 from 3 until 8 p.m. at the Beidelman-Kunsch Funeral homes & Crematory, 516 S. Washington St., Naperville, IL. Interment will be private.
