Gail, I was very sad to hear of your loss. I remember you and Adam so fondly from your early days in the Yelm Chamber of Commerce. I wish you and your family the best as you adjust to life without such a wonderful man.

Gail,
My Mom called today and told me about Adam. I can't believe it. All day I thought of our high school days. Of when you met Adam, how crazy & fun the two of you were. We were all kids. I'm so sorry Gail. You have such a warm and supportive family. I know they will be there for you during such a sad loss. I love you if you need anything, let me know.

Adam was a great man, mentor, and father. He was a great mentor to many of the local youth, including myself. The lessons we learned from Adam will carry on for multiple generations. I feel fortunate to have known Adam and the Rivas family for the majority of my life. My heart goes out to Gail, Taylor, Dominic, and the rest of the family. You will be in my thoughts and prayers.

We are so truly sorry to hear about Adam. He was truly such a wonderful man. We will never forget how kind and thoughtful he was to our son Ryan when he was the mayor or Yelm. After his term as Mayor he remained the same kind human being he always was and we will forever be grateful. Our thoughts and prayers go out to your family. We feel truly blessed for knowing him. He was a true gem.
With love,
Dave and Joyce Edwards
