Nicholas Adams Obituary

Nicholas Robert Adams departed this life on Friday, August 29, 2003, surrounded by his family and close friends. His precious memory will remain with his mother, Diana Adams; and father, Bob Bazow; his stepparents, Dan Adams and Jan Bazow; his sisters, Claire Adams, and tiny Emma Grace Bazow, who will miss the opportunity to get to know her big brother better. Also left to cherish his memory are his grandparents, aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews, cousins, treasured friends, and countless others whose lives he touched. Nick, a senior at Collegiate School, will be remembered especially for his love of his family, the joy he took in his friendships, his kindness to others, and his wonderful sense of humor. Life brought Nick much joy. His abundant and creative spirit was expressed through his passion for music, visual arts, and the pleasure he got out of generating laughter in his household and among his friends. All who knew Nick are grateful for the opportunity to have experienced his quick wit and warm character. There will be a celebration of Nick’s life on September 2 at 4:30 p.m. at St. Mary’s Episcopal Church, 12291 River Road. Family and friends are welcome in his home afterwards. Flowers are gratefully declined, and donations may be made to the Nick Adams Memorial Fund at Collegiate School or to the Neuroscience Research and Trauma Center at the Medical College of Virginia. His family and friends wish to express their heartfelt gratitude to the extraordinary doctors and nurses who cared for him through his last days. Nick will be glad to know that his passing has both strengthened and gentled all of his loving family and friends.

Dear Bob ~

When I found this obituary, quite by accident, I wasn't sure if this was your son. When the picture appeared, I recognized the face as the same one I had seen a thousand times in my youth. With his looks and many talents, the apple did not far from the tree.

I am truly sorry for your loss, and will always hope for you and your family, the very best.

Dear Family and Friends of Nicholas Adams,

I am familiar with your tragedy through the daughter of a dear friend of mine who knew and shared in friendship with Nick.

I am Roman Catholic and participate in various organizations of the Church. In one of these groups of about 6 people we all petitioned and prayed for the peaceful repose of Nick's precious soul. After seeing his photograph, such a beautiful boy, I am moved to offer my condolence, and my promise of further prayer for Nicholas and for you. I will light a candle in the santuary for him this weekend.

God will sustain you in your grief, though your lives are permanently altered.

Peace be with you,

Christine Conroy

Bob and Jan, Diana and Dan,

After listening to the eulogies Nick's classmates gave I was sorry not to have known your son. You truly have a lot to be proud of in Nick and he will be sorely missed but never forgotten. My heart goes out to you, we cannot know your loss completely but are very sympathetic and sad for your grief

Dear Diana,

Being best friends with Michelle Ringley and being around her wonderful family for the past 7 yrs. allowed me the opportunity to see Nick on a few occasions at the Ringley home. He was such a beautiful, cute young man and I remember having discussions with Michelle about how artistic he was (much like Michelle). His smile was contagious and I remember thinking how he was going to attract the ladies when he got to high school!! Anyway I am so sorry for your loss and I wanted to thank you for sending your thanks out to the nurses that took care of Nick. As a nursing student, it is patients like Nick that inspire me to provide all persons with the best care possible even if it means they wont be leaving the hospital. A thank you from a patients family means more than anyone knows. I am sure that those nurses were blessed to have Nick in their lives if only for a short time. It is people like Nick that inspire me to continue in this challenging profession. You and Claire are in my prayers and heart. Thank God for the time Nick was here, b/c as I can tell he was greatly loved by many many people. I also want to tell you that Becky Ringley loves you more than you will ever know and she is such a wonderful strong inspiration. Look up to her for help in this hard time..she is nothing besides amazing. Keep Nick close to your heart and he will never go away. God Bless you and your family in this time.

Sincerely with love,

Meagan Thomas

I read the obituary of your sweet young son. I think selfishly to myself about my own children. I also think how wonderful a life this child must have had. I can tell by the respect and concern that is given to Mom and Dad as well as stepmom and stepdad. God is smiling and so is your son. Take care of each other and God Bless.

Although I did not know Nick personally, I did know his father, Bob Bazow, as a friend and co-worker. I offer my most sincere sympathies and have the entire family in my thoughts and prayers. Nick is in a much better place now and we have to focus on that - not the heartache that is being felt. God bless.

Bob and Diana,

I wish to extend my sympathies to you both and the family members and friends of Nick. After reading a short synopsis of what he was like, I am sorry that I too didn't know him. I am so sorry that he was taken away and know there are no words to express the grief that you have being going through. I can only join in with so many others in asking the Lord to bring you comfort and strength.

Nick,

Even though you left us physically, you're still with us in spirit. I feel so lucky to have gotten to know you. I regret not thanking you for being such a great friend to my brother, Chris. You, Chris, & the rest of the group...Phil,Jon,Josh,Cliff really showed others the true meaning of friendship. I know you're smiling down on everyone who knew and loves you. I remember you're unique personality the most. You're humor could make anyone laugh.I'll miss coming home at night seeing you, Chris, and whoever asleep in the living room & the countless times you made me laugh out loud. You touched so many lives, including mine and my family's. You'll never ever be forgotten & will remain in our hearts every day. God bless you Nick! I'll see you later!

Love Always,

Jenn
