Adam Bailey Obituary
Adam Richard Bailey, age 48, of Columbus, OH, died tragically when he was struck by a vehicle on November 4, 2019. He was born to Richard and Ann (Green) Bailey on December 16, 1970 in Toledo, OH. He grew up in Sylvania, OH with his two siblings, Whitney and Owen. After graduating from Sylvania Northview High School in 1989, Adam attended Ohio State University and found a new hometown in Columbus. He worked for Hirschvogel Automotive the past several years, but his greatest role in life was being a father to his son, Griffin.
Adam was about embracing all there is to see, hear, and feel in this life, and he passed on that appreciation to those around him. He loved to travel and to share his adventures with his son and family. A devoted father, loving son, thoughtful brother, and fun uncle, Adam always had stories and treats to share, never showing up empty-handed and never forgetting the small, special things that mattered to the people he loved. Inside his reserved facade, Adam was all heart and would do anything for anyone. Really.
Adam is survived by his son and best friend, Griffin Bailey of Worthington; mother and stepfather, Ann and Ken Green of Sylvania, OH; sister, Whitney (Tom) Brennan of Sylvania, OH; brother, Owen (Nicholl) Bailey of Rome City, IN; nieces and nephews, Reese and Max Brennan and Hannah, Aubrie, and Logen Bailey. Adam was preceded in death by his father, Richard Bailey.
Family and friends are invited to remember Adam on Saturday, November 16 from 12:00-4:00 at The Olander Park System's Nederhouser Community Hall, 6930 Sylvania Ave., Sylvania, OH.

Griffin, We are so sorry about the passing of your dad. I know he was so proud of you!! When he talked about the time you spent together visiting national parks out west, it was obvious he really cherished that time with you. We will keep you all in our thought and prayers.
