Frank Michael Adams, 73, of Greenville, Texas, passed away on November 12, 2025. He was born on November 24, 1951, in Washington, D.C., to Frank "Dooley" David Adams and Cynthia "Cinnie" Fowble Adams.

Frank proudly served his country in the U.S. Army during the Vietnam War. A lifelong horseman, he was both a talented jockey and an exceptional racehorse trainer-truly a cut above the rest. Horses were his greatest passion, though he had a soft spot for all animals and never met a stray he didn't befriend.

Known for his quick wit and ready smile, Frank always had a joke to share. Around the ranch, he was affectionately called the "Head Horse Chef and Bucket Washer at JMA Ranch." He also loved to cook and was especially famous for his Yorkshire pudding, a family favorite.

Frank was married to his beloved wife, Josie Adams, for over 35 years. He is survived by his daughter, Rowdie Adams and her partner Ryan Crow; his sister, Melissa Adams and her partner Daniel McDonald; and his nieces and nephews: Courtney Jordan and her daughter Cameron, Ashley Tucker, Alex Greyson, and Beau Tucker.

He was preceded in death by his parents and his son, Jett Adams.

Frank's kindness, humor, and love for animals will be remembered always by those who knew and loved him.
