Nathan Adams passed away on December 11, 2025, in Grants Pass, Oregon. He was born on May 30, 1975, in San Jose, California. Nathan lived a life marked by strength, perseverance, and a deep love for those around him.
A man of many trades and many talents, Nathan found peace and joy in the outdoors. He loved hunting, fishing, and playing softball—activities that reflected his appreciation for life’s simple and grounding moments. Like many, Nathan faced his share of struggles, yet through them all he remained anchored in what mattered most: his family and his faith. He loved the Lord and carried that love faithfully in his heart.
Nathan was a big man in both presence and spirit, leaving a lasting imprint on every heart he encountered. His laughter, loyalty, and generosity will be remembered always. Though he is no longer with us in body, his memory lives on—forever missed, forever loved, and forever carried in the hearts of his family and friends.
Nathan is survived by his wife and partner of 25 years Candace Adams, his three children, Tyson Adams, Toby Adams, and Emma Adams; his three beloved grandchildren, Elizabeth, Kingsley and Sailor; his mother, Becky Johnson; and his brothers, Aaron Johnson and David Adams. He was preceded in death by his father, Denver Adams who passed away the year prior.
We take comfort in God’s promises:
“And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.” - Revelation 21:4
