Adam Reeves Obituary
Found dead at the scene were Adam Reeves, 45, and a passenger whose name was not released.
The helicopter was found in a heavily wooded area of northern Georgia mountains around 2:30 p.m. today, said Maj. Paige Joyner, spokeswoman for the Georgia Wing of the Civil Air Patrol.
The helicopter left on a flight from North Palm Beach to Blairsville, Ga. on Monday but did not reach its destination.
A family member reported the aircraft overdue on Tuesday.
Civil Air Patrol Units from Georgia searched over 1,000 square miles of rugged terrain in the air and ground search.

For some reason you are on my mind all the time. I know we fell out of touch throughout the years but we were close in our younger years. We were inseperable in junior high and high school and I really looked up to you. We pretty much did everything teenage boys did and had a blast doing it. You always were the one who pushed me to do things I never would have done and we're always there when I had family drama. You were driven and very positive in everything you did. It's a shame really how everything has ended. Hope your riding dirt bikes in heaven waiting for me to join. God bless you and your family.

Not a day goes by your not on my mind,
I know theres so many answers well never find,
But I dont care because you were mine.
An uncle who raised me like a dad.
Its so hard to get up everyday n not be sad
Then I think about what you would say
And it keeps me going throughout the day.
I have no fear because I know your still near even if i cant see you here.I wonder if you ever got my note.that last time i saw you before you got on the boat.IT just said how much i love you and i cant wait to see you next time.I would of added another line if i knew it was going to be the last time.
Ill never forget you ill always love you there will always be a piece of you in me otherwise im not complete. You helped raise me. Now your my guardian angel looking over me. Rest in Peace

To my cousin Chip and Adam to others, it was he who brought me closer to his family, to a father who loved his family, to a friend to many, and to his social work to care for other. You will be always known to all a master of living today to its fullest and letting your life speak for itself though believing, achieving and inspiring many who were fortunate to have known you. We are greatly touched by this tragedy, but it is with great honor we will hold you in our hearts and carry you spirit in us and through us. We are here today to support our cousin’s family Diane, Kendall and Kellie, my Aunt Joyce, Ron's family and Peggy's family. Rest in peace my cousin we are there for your family forever. Love Liz, Stefan, Sarah, Alexandra, and Diana

To the Family & Friends of Chip. How often in life we say, we should have, or could have, I don’t think Chip would have felt that way. We were cousins that didn’t keep in touch. However, through the shared pictures and words of my Aunt Joyce (Chip’s Mom), I knew well of him. Aunt Joyce shared stories of his enjoyment with family, generosity, his business savvy, and his enthusiasm for life. I know he was a person that lived in the moment, while planning for the future. He cherished family, and brought joy to those that knew him. He projected a strong presence to those even far from him. I feel sadness for all of you. May God be your consoler.
You are all in my prayers. Love, Francine, Carlos & Family
