We are so sorry for the loss of Adi. The Ferguson girls used to swim for Barbados against Jamaica when Janelle was swimming. please accept our sincere condolences - the Ferguson family.

Dear Adi,

I was appalled to hear about the tragedy this morning. I always admired you. Your laid back style, patience, and extreme positive attitude was a great example to me and to everyone around you. I owe you much more then my commercial rating. I'll never forget you, and I hope to see your contagious smile again someday.


Love and Peace
My deepest condolences to the family

Although I only knew Adi when I was just 3 years old, I remember the song we made for him. I only wish I knew him a lot better than I did, I feel really bad that I didnt really get the chance to know him. Im really saddened by his loss, I pray every night for all the members in my family. Uncle Tweedy and Aunty Sharon, Alia and Sanieka Im so sorry for your lost please have God in your lives it is important. Im honestly scared to call because Im not sure what to say. All I can say is sorry and God bless you all. I love you all always!!

My dear Family,
Our hearts and prayers are with you during this difficult time. We will miss his smile, and Adi had touched so many lives and accomplished so much in such a short time. God bless you and comfort you during this time....RIP my cousin...

When someone you love becomes a memory,the memory becomes a treasure in our hearts. May the Good Lord continue to bless and keep the entire family.

Adi My Cousin,

You had the brightest most infectious smile. I am glad I got the chance to see you Christmas 07 after so many years,a wonderful memory to cherish.

Auntie Sharon,

I know I will be able to speak to you when the time is right,but thanks to Uncle Tweedy I know you guys are doing all you can to keep strong.

I love you all

Well, i never really got a chance to meet him but always heard many good things about him. However i knew his father all my life so im close enough lol. I pray that God regain the strength of his family members and friends that he was very close too. R.I.P Adi!!!

RIP my dear cousin.You left a huge legacy for us to follow. I do pray that your last thoughts however were of Christ. He was waiting to take you into his arms and to take you home.

Your cousin

I knew Adi as a child when he lived in Jamaica. He was such a joy to be around. I pray for the entire family.

Never saw you without a smile on your face adi, you will be dearly missed.

Dear Family,
My thoughts and prayers are with you. Adi swam with Katherine and Robert for Jamaica and it is hard to believe that he is gone. I feel deeply your loss. I cherish the memories and am thankful to have known him.

Adi, I miss the laughs we shared at school.
You were a great Instructor and even better friend.
Theres not a day goes by I dont think of you and your family.

Tweedsmuir,

My condolences to you and your family. I will pray for you all in this time of grief.

Love
Cheryl Atkinson

I only knew Adi as a child and havent seen the family since they, as I, left JA. Marjorie however, proudly kept me sufficiently updated about the whole family.

By all accounts he was a fine young man and although it may be no consolation, went doing what he loved to do best.

Tweedsmuir, Sharon, Sanika, Alia, no parent or sibling should have to experience a time such as this and I cannot even imagine what you are feeling. I hope you will take some comfort and strength in the fact that the prayers of many are with you.

Sleep sweet "Sky Lord"....

Adi ran on my mind 2 weeks ago, I guess it was because I had my son participating in his first swim meet. I have not seen Tweedsmuir, Sharon, Sanicka, Adi and Alia since they left JA. I lived directly in front of them for years.

I can only imagine what you are going through and I am praying and will continue to pray for all of you...I am so sorry

Dear Atkinson Family,

I just want to let you know how sorry I am for your loss. I can remember watching Adi swim for Flanagan High School and winning district Champs. Listening to the stories of how you, Sharon drove him to the airport because he had his pilot's license and not his driver's. Hearing how well his career is going and all the good things in his life, that is what you can be proud of how much good Adi brought into peoples lives and I know he will continue to. It's only natural to ask the question "Why" but just know God has big plans which we don't see right away.

Just remember to surround yourselves with the people who love you and don't be afraid to speak about Adi and all his accomplishments, you may just change someone's life.

My thoughts and prayers are with you.

Our Thoughts and Prayers go out to Adi's Family. Our time spent with Adi will always hold a special place in our hearts.

Dear Atkinson/Smith Family,

I only know of your dear Adi through many fond stories told to me by his devoted Uncle Karl. Karl works with me and I often enjoyed hearing of Adi, Alia and Sanicka’s (forgive my spelling errors) accomplishments. His chest would swell with pride as he smiled and spoke of cherished family times you all shared.

I know from my own personal experiences God can and will give you the strength to endure. Just ask Him. I am praying for your peace. It will be hard and you will never stop missing Adi, but eventually the memories will help to fill the void.

Sharon, I can only imagine your pain of letting go of your child. But, know from one mother to another, I will keep you lifted up in prayer for God to sustain you during this most difficult time of letting the precious life of your son Adi go back to God. I hope you can take comfort in knowing Adi will be with Him always – and will be waiting for you to come be with him one day. Take care of each other. With terms of endearment – May God bless you all and keep you in His bosom. Warmest regards, Robbin D. Floyd-Jones

I knew Adi when he lived in Jamaica and hasn't seen him since he migrated, but I have kept track of him via the internet. It's very sad, my heart goes out to the entire family.

Will remember that smile. Love and hugs to you all. Know that my heart is with you.

Dear Family,

Please know you are blessed. We Will Survive in their honour. We will live and live well because we have to honour them. Give thanks for the time spent.

I cant say dont cry. I did. All I can say is live for Him.

I will never forget your smile. This has really been a shock. Recently looked at a picture of you when you probaly 4 or 5, astride your dad's motor bike, smiling with a grin as big as the lenses.

Adi was such a wonderful young man and also a positive leader. I used to try to convince him to continue with his swimming because he was such a great swimmer, instead, he said that he wanted to pursue his career as a pilot. He loved to fly! He will be greatly missed. My thoughts and prayers are with you all at this most difficult time.

With deepest sympathy,

Dear Atkinson Family,
Our hearts are with you during this most difficult time. May you remember the joy and laughter that Adi brought to your lives, and his love for each of you. May God bless and comfort you in the days ahead.

Adi,

I can not remember a moment when you were not smiling. You have touched the lives of so many people who will pass forward your positive, upbeat attitude and always be grateful for your unwavering, gentle patience. You will be dearly missed.

Dear Atkinson Family,
My heart goes out to you all. My son worked with Adi at DCA and I can only imagine the sorrow you are feeling. May your hearts be filled with wonderful memories of cherished times together.

Dear Family,

May your hearts soon be filled with wonderful memories of joyful times together as you celebrate a life well lived.

Dear Adi,
Your departure has left a void that it will be impossible to fill. I cherish every single hour we spent in the air and all the knowledge you shared with me on the ground. You are responsible for the pilot I'm today and every time I take to the air I will take a part of you with me. Godspeed, my friend.
