Arthur Adams Obituary

Arthur Herman Adams, Sr.

Art "Red" Adams left this earth on February 12, 2016 after a long illness. Red was born July 18, 1953 in Sharon, Connecticut to Ernest Adams and Anna Nicholson Adams. He grew up on farms in Dover, Millbrook, Amenia and Lagrangeville as one of a family of eight brothers and one sister. His parents and two of his brothers predeceased him.

Arthur leaves behind eight children: Crystal Odell, Edward Adams, Joseph Adams, Sabrina Adams, Arthur Adams Jr., Samantha Adams, Brandon Walker and Buddy Adams. He is also survived by 22 grandchildren, one great-granddaughter, and many nieces and nephews.

Art was a tree-trimmer and laborer in his early adulthood. His life also included periods of incarceration, periods of addiction and a long and disabling illness that resulted from both of these. Despite this, Art continued to look at the world with hope and happiness. It is fitting that the last words he uttered, on the arrival of his daughter Crystal to his bedside February 7th, were "I'm happy."

A memorial service will be held at 1pm at the Valley Bible Fellowship Church, 1875 Clove Road, Lagrangeville, NY on Saturday, February 20th at 1 pm. All are welcome.

Red spent his last days at Kaplan House, a hospice care facility in Newburgh. The family would like to express its deep gratitude for the professional and loving care he received there. They would also like to thank the nurses and doctors at Vassar Brothers Medical Center who provided such excellent care during his many hospitalizations over the last two years.

I just found out that Art passed away. He was a good worker in the tree business. He eventually became a good friend. I haven't seen him for 15 years. I was with him when he received Jesus Christ into his heart and was imparted a powerful anointing experience that changed his life right in front of me. The Lord taught him a lot about love. He started to walk to a different beat in his heart. It is written, being absent of the body is being present with the Lord. Now he stands face to face and hand in hand with the Lord his God and Savior mercifully forgiven and excepted at His New mansion of a home in heaven.
