Adam Raskin Obituary
01/24/1950 - 12/05/2025
Adam Paul Raskin took his last breath on this earth on Friday, December 5, 2025, early morning with the full moon shining outside the front window at home, with his devout wife holding his hand and family nearby.
Adam is the son of Mildred and Sam Raskin who predeceased him, as did his son Ismael Alonzo-Raskin. Adam is survived by his beloved wife and life partner of 39 years, Adelina Arámburo, his grandson, Guillermo Krebbs, his two brothers Jonah and Daniel, four nieces and nephews, and many friends who loved him.
Adam was a unique and true renaissance man who read maps, books, pamphlets and anything he could and listened to every type of music as he was always curious about everyone and everything. His love of languages enriched his work as a private investigator and his travels around the world.
We are grateful to all for the warmth, strength, loving presence, and generous gifts over the course of this journey that began just over seven months ago when he was first diagnosed with MDS/AML.

Yesterday
I was friends with Adam for nearly forty years, as we were both members of our beloved South End Rowing Club. Adam was brilliant and funny as hell, a unique person anywhere and everywhere, a unique character in a club full of characters. There's a void in the club now that will never be filled. A lot of people miss you, Adam. Like Mike K says below, you'll be missed but not forgotten. Paz.
