Walter ‘Adam’ Burger III, age 40, passed away on Tuesday ~ May 12, 2020 at his residence after a lifelong battle of health issues and is now in the arms of his Lord and Savior. Adam was raised by his parents to be a man of God and over the last days of his life, he left this world with a peace of mind that he had made things right with God. Adam left a giant void in his mom’s life when he left this life, but she knows he is in a much better place today. Adam was a huge Dallas Cowboy’s fan and loved their teams of the past and their current quarterback, Dak Prescott.

Not only is Adam going to be missed by his mother, he is going to be greatly missed by his family and friends.
