I was shocked to hear that Adam Stoner had passed away. My condolences to the Stoner family. I've had the great pleasure of bowling with or against Tom,Mark,James,and Adam. They are good people and I know they will make it through this hard time. I finally had the pleasure of being on a team with Adam this past season at Landmark Lanes. I could always talk 49er football with Adam. I also had the pleasure of working with Adam for a while at Landmark Recreation Center he was always fun to be around. Adam will be missed, he was a great bowler and more importantly a great person.

Chris and Tom,
Your son, was a son to me, and I loved him as my own. Adam's struggles were my struggles and I've carried him in my heart everyday. I won't pretend to know what you feel as his mother and father. I'm sure the loss is more than you can stand. But I will tell you that he was a very real part of my family and that myself, Ashley, Jenny, and Dustin will never be the same for having known Adam. My sorrow is great as I truly loved him as my own. I always thought I could save him as you probably did, but in my heart I always knew Adam had to save himself. I want to hug him one more time, kiss him one more time, and watch him smile one more time and see the beauty I know was there. Thanks for bringing him into the world so I could know him and love him like I did. Godspeed Adam!!

Adam, You will forever be in my heart and mind. I have almost 8 years of memories just from working with you on and off at Landmark. For the first few years of working together you were like a brother to me along with the other guys we worked with. I will never forget how you would walk around singing at the top of your lungs, "I'm sorry Miss Jackson I am for real Never meant to make your daughter cry I apologised a trillion times" Everytime I hear that song it makes me think of you. I will never forget you!
