John was born March 20, 1951, in Jenkins, Kentucky, to father Samuel and mother Levodas. At a young age, John took a caregiver role of supporting his family. He put his own education on hold to help his mom care for his siblings. But John only paused on his own dreams. While owning a Chinese carryout with his wife and having a young son, he earned his Master’s degree.
If you asked John his greatest accomplishment, it was being a father and grandfather. John met his wife Siu and it was love at first sight. Despite many differences and challenges, love won. They were united in marriage January 7, 1973. They were blessed with two amazing children. He loved to tell everyone he met about his liar son (a lawyer) and his drug dealing daughter (a pharmacist.) He was full of jokes and stories. He loved to help people.
John is survived by his wife Siu Adams; children John Adams Jr. (Jill) and May Adams Keith (Cecil); grandchildren John Adams III, Jackson Adams, Oliver Keith and Lily Keith. Sister Dorothy, and Brother Jack.
