We loved when Adam and Grace would come through the back field to our house to play. Adam was so funny and kind, not only to our boys, but also to our girls who can be a little overwhelming at times. He would just smile at them, nothing seemed to bother him. He would get the kids laughing with some silly story. Dane and I were reminiscing about carpooling to sports, he was always a joy to be around. Heaven truly gained a beautiful soul; We will miss him very much! Matt, Amanda & Grace, know that you are always in our prayers, and we are always here for you anytime you need us! Rest in peace sweet adam.
