Atticus Robert Adams

Atticus was born on January 4, 2001 in Gibson City, Illinois. He was the first-born son of Kris and Ginger Adams of Peoria, Illinois. He loved to play video games, fish, and watch TV. He loved his grandparents, Mary Ann and Karl Gottlieb and was a frequent presence in their lives.
