Dear Elaine and Family,

Chef Adam was one of the most influential people in my life. He gave me a chance at an externship with him at Fork & Spoon, knowing full well I had no previous experience in the industry. He believed in me & held me to standards I never thought I could achieve. Without his faith in me, I never would have gotten this far in my own culinary career. Aside from being a mentor, he was also my friend - easy to talk to, go to for great advice. There are not enough words to describe how much he will be missed.
My thoughts and prayers go out to his family and girlfriend, Allison. May you find the strength to make peace with his passing.

During this time of mourning, I would like to express my sincere condolence at the sudden loss of your loved one. May you find comfort in persistent prayers, as “the peace of God that excels all thought will guard your heart and your mental powers.” [Phil. 4:7] I certainly hope that the help God can give at this time will make a difference in your recovery to continue without your loved one.

Adam was one of the most talented cooks I've ever worked with. A truly inspired individual from whom I learned a great deal.

Adam left a positive impression wherever he went. He had the inane ability to make everyone in the room feel special and loved. I will never forget visiting San Francisco last year and running into him at The Globe just by accident. It was a very surreal and joyous meeting and am I deeply saddened that it was one of our last. He will forever be in my heart. My sympathies to his family and loved ones. I am so sorry...

Although I have lost contact with Adam, His name would always come up between the Chef friends of Las Vegas. Adam was my partner at AUREOLE Las Vegas-this is when I had first met him. We worked the fish station together. Wow! What a great partner, he always had my back. Adam would always make you feel good when things were not going so well in the kitchen. He would say things like just 4 hours left of Hell and we would all laugh. He was very giving and caring person. My love, prayers and condolences to his family and friends.

My deepest sympathies to Adam's family and friends, and to my dear niece, Allison Tarr, in the tragic and untimely death of a truly special person. I met Adam last summer while on vacation in San Francisco, and was immediately drawn to his easygoing spirit and infectious smile. The pleasure that Adam and Allison felt in each other’s presence was almost palpable, and I was overjoyed at seeing them so happy together. Now, my prayer is that the love of God, your family and your friends will help to sustain you through the difficult days and months ahead, and that someday, the cherished memories of your dear son, brother, uncle, partner, and friend, will serve to bring you peace.

I first met Adam in May of 2007, in a state of panic over my imminent need for a externship site to complete my culinary school requirements. Adam agreed to allow me to train with the Fork and Spoon staff for three months under his guidance. In those three months, I learned more about the industry and profession that I have chosen from Chef Ike than I ever did taking notes at butchers tables. Adam is the man who has given me everything that I needed to succeed in my career, and I could not have asked for a better chef, mentor and friend.Sixteen months later, and in the days since his passing, the Fork and Spoon team has been very busy continuing the quality of work he inspired us to create and the standards that he held us to. I am so very proud to continue his legacy by giving my all to the team, and I am able to do so because of him. I will miss him terribly. I love you so much, Adam.

Adam and I were very good friends for several years while we worked together at Silks. He was an amazing person and he was filled with so much love and affection. He enriched my life in so many ways. My heart goes out to Adam's family and his partner and I am deeply sorry to have lost him from all of our lives. He was a gift to all of us and he will be missed greatly.

Your son was a bright light in the lives of our family. A light that no longer shines. Your terrible loss has brought us closer together as a family sharing our memories of Adam, your family and our great times together in Spokane. We love you and will see you soon.

There are no words to describe how much we will miss our beloved friend, Adam.
He was the most generous of people, kind, positive and had the most hilarious sense of humor. I was honored to have shared the last five years of my life with him working side by side.
Adam always made me feel loved and supported, and I knew that no matter what, he would always be there for me.
As difficult as it's been, I'm glad that I was able to be there for him in the end and will always count that fateful day as the most profound moment of of life.
I will never stop missing him.

Adam and I were friends for several years and worked together for a while as well. He was one of the most amazing people I have ever come across in my life. He made me feel very special in our friendship and I will miss him terribly. I am very lucky to have had several wonderful memories of him over the years. I send his family and partner all of my love during this time. He was an icredible person who will be missed by many.

His impish grin, incredibly kind heart and mad cheffin' skills will always be fondly remembered. Adam, I'll be raising a glass of bourbon to you this evening...

Those of us who were fortunate enough to know Adam Ike give thanks for his love and humbleness. It is rare to meet someone who truly thinks of others' wellbeing before his own as Adam did. We should all strive to achieve the standard of character and generosity that Adam lived every day. It is impossible for us to understand how Adam's life could end so tragically early. Though we have lost Adam, we will never lose his spirit.
