I am truly sorry for your loss! Adam was such a great school friend and so full of life! My prayers and thoughts are with you during this time.
One thing that sticks with me, is he could just about fix anything mechanical. If he didn’t know how…..give him 15 minutes on you tube and he will fix it. So many more good memories I could share. He is missed.
Last I spent time with Adam we watched YouTube videos and laughed together. He took such wonderful & loving care of his daughter, Emma, who I got to play with and know so much better. I am so grateful for the time I spent with them. I am so grateful for the love and laughter I could share with Adam. He will be forever in my heart this way.
I am heartbroken for your family. So very sorry for your loss of Adam. It was my pleasure to have first known him as my first grade student, and as such a sweet boy
Prayers for all of you.
I was really good friends with Adam’s sister, I spent a lot of time at their home! My fondest memory of Adam is playing Super Mario Bros in the 90’s…he taught me how to play, knew all the tricks and always beat me! He was a good little brother to Mandy, he didn’t bother us when we had sleepovers! I also remember Adam and his dad talking about spending time together in Teague. I am so sorry for your loss, please know that I am thinking and praying for all of you.
Mandy, you and your family are in our thoughts and prayers daily. Much love during this difficult time.

I was good friends with Adams’ sister, Mandy growing up and I spent a lot of time at their home! My fondest memory of Adam, was playing Super Mario Bros in the 90’s! He taught me how to play, knew all the tricks, and always beat me! Adam was a good li’ bro to Mandy, he didn’t pester us when we had sleepovers! As we grew up I ended up going on a couple double dates with Adam and his girlfriend at the time. He had transitioned from Mandy’s little brother, to a very important person in my friends’ life! Adam was fun to be around and was always smiling. I am so sorry for your loss, but please know that I am thinking and praying for all you.
