Adam, it's been 14 years and we all still love and miss you! You'd be so proud of how good I've gotten at playing magic! You are an amazing soul, and you are still so missed by everyone who loves you. And Jess, omg, you'd be so proud of her! She is an amazing woman, and you did a great job at picking a Mom for your kids! I will always hold the time we all had as close friends near to my heart! <3 <3 <3 I'm still waiting on the Zombies!

Adam,
It cannot possibly be 10 years since we last spoke. It feels like yesterday still that we were laughing over one thing or another. You had such a positive impact on so many people. I still carry you in my thoughts often, and I will always miss having you a phone call away. Anyone who had you in their lives was truly blessed. Miss you always.

Adam you were like a brother to me. You were the sweetest guy besides my brother I have ever known. Your heart was huge, and I love you. William and Katlin miss you too. I am a little worried now you and Billy are together. No haunting or hiding my keys ok. I miss you and now another peice of my heart is gone. But hopefully we will see you again in that better place. Rest in peace Cuz.

You were amazing. You were so funny and fun to be around. You were the love of my life. I miss you so much. With every step I take forward, my heart hurts because it's one step further from my life with you. Our daughter is more and more beautiful and wonderful everyday. She is so much fun now. She looks so much like you and I'm sure the child that I'm pregnant with now will too. I feel worse for Kyra and Baby because they will never have a relationship with their father. You will live on in our hearts and your children will know you well. Rest in peace my love.

Jess, Kyra and Family,

I'm sorry for your loss. I wish I was there to be a better friend to you. I really don't know what to say in this time of grief. Parents should never have to out live a child and a child should never have to grow up withou knowing the glow of a parent. I know you are surrounded by love at this time and he is gazing down on you and the child you both brought into this world. He now has the cnance to meet Grandpa Ritter and share all his love with him for you. You have always been in my thoughtsw and prayers especially now in this time of pain. I do love you.

Jess, Kyra, and family,
Adam was an awesome man and he will be remembered with a smile by so many people. He really was a gem and Christopher and I will truly miss him, and Addie will miss her "Uncle Adam". He was a great friend, and he made Jess happier than she had ever been. He put up with our "guitar hero nights" quite well! He loved Kyra more than words can say and I know he will always be looking down on them with Grandpa Ritter. Adam could control the entire feeling of a room and was just amazing. Jess, your my best friend and I love you and Kyra so much and I am here for you both, even if it means flying/driving to PA. I love you always. RIP Adam. You are loved, and missed.

Dear Mr. and Mrs. Bastien, Jess and Family,
It is a horrible time with the passing of Adam and I am deeply sorry for your lost. I remember seeing Adam, Jess and the baby just two and a half weeks ago. They were both glowing about their baby girl and happy they could share their moment with my brother Josh and his wife Alina. I feel as if Adam's bright sprit is still lingering here and wishes to pass on his love. I believe he will continue to watch his family from above.
May his laughter and love give you all, the strength to carry on and fulfill his life past many more breaking dawns.
With warm sympathy and prayers may you find peace in this sadden time. May Adam rest in peace.
Sincerely,
Tabitha Jacobs & the Jacobs family.

Dear Jess and Kyra
I am sorry Adam we never met. I would like to send my deepest sympathy to Jess and beautiful little Kyra and family. To stay strong is very hard to do I know but at least God blessed you all with Kyra so he can live on in all the stories you tell Kyra. Jess if you need anything I am here for you. I will keep you both in my prayers.

Adam, you were my best and closest friend since we were little. From the time you lived across from me, to when you moved up to Plain Hill. We've had the best of times. We stood by each other through the years as we grew, and it was an adventure neither one of us would take back. My deepest coindolences to your family, you were a great son to your parents, and great brother to your sisters. You will be extremely missed. I will treasure the times we had as we grew up, you will always be remembered.

To the entire Bastien family,
I am really sorry to hear of his adam's passing. He, along with Jessica and Rebecca were always fun to have in P.E. classes at St. Joseph School. In fact, Adam still holds the school record for the standing long jump in the physical fitness testing for a 10 year old boy...pretty remarkable!! My deepest sympathy to all of you....stay strong!!

I still can't believe that adam is gone, my deepest sympathy goes to his fiance, family, and daughter. I will always remember the funny, endearing, loving person that he was. We will all miss you.

Matt Sheehan

Adam, you will be missed by many. My sympathies go out to your family and countless friends. There wasn't a person that you couldn't cheer up or make laugh. From the first day we met I knew you would be a treasured friend and you definetly lived up to that. You impacted my life in a way that not many people have. I am so happy we had the chance to become friends. It is unfortunate to hear that you have moved on but I feel as though you will be looking down on those you love, watching over and protecting them. I (and many others) will miss you incredibly and will never forget you.

I am so sad to hear about Adam..... even though i did not get to know him his for adult years. Adam still left a mark on my heart. i remember playing with him not only at St. Joseph's but also at his parents house. He was always so sweet! Just recently i had connected with him through myspace. He told me how he had this wonderful girlfriend and a beautiful daughter on the way. Of course i was very happy for him. we even talked about having our family's meet for dinner one time when i come to visit connecticut again. i am very sad that it never will happen. just by the small words we wrote to eachother i could tell how proud he was to be a dad! i will pray for his baby girl so that she will know how great her father was. i would love to help in anyway and i wish i could to be their to share his memorys with everyone. please let me know if donating to a charity or sending flowers would be best? my email is [email protected] # 865-776-8437. Sincerly Danielle (Lindquist) Nichols
