Wiley Ray Adamson, 71, passed away suddenly at his home in Woodbury, Thursday, April 17, 2025. Born in Kittrell, TN., he was the son of the late Thurman and Christine Hollis Adamson. In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by his daughter, Angela "Angie" Adamson.

Raised in Cannon Co., Wiley began his love of horses at a very early age. Almost every weekend Wiley could be found in the woods on a horse. He passed the love of trail riding on to his children. A lifelong supporter of the trail horse, Wiley was a member of the Cannon County Walking Horse Association and was deeply honored when he was chosen as the 2024 Grand Marshall. He was a Christian, a lifelong farmer and a Heavy Equipment operator. Wiley had such love for his children but especially his grandchildren and gave them all a unique nickname.
