James Ray Adams passed away September 29, 2025, in his Abilene home, at the age of 66. He was born August 02, 1959, to Velma and James Adams of Morehead, Kentucky.
James spent his childhood working on the family farm with his sister, Rhonda Adams, in the backwoods of Kentucky. By his late teenage years, he wanted to travel and see the world, so months before his 18th birthday, he took the oath to become active-duty Army.
He went on to serve his country, with honorable distinction, as a combat veteran in the U.S. Army, for 24 years before retiring. After retiring, he turned his attention to earning a degree in Maintenance Engineering.
James was preceded in death by both of his parents, Velma and James Adams.
He is survived by his two children, Ashley and Corbin Adams, and their families (of Oklahoma).
