David Elijah Adams III

David was born in San Diego and shortly thereafter his family moved to Barstow, Texas where his grandfather lived. After that David and his family eventually settled in Auburn, Washington where he lived until his early twenties and came to live and work in San Jose.

David had a dry wit and an engaging personality and like to keep physically active. He liked shooting hoops, golfing, playing tennis, jogging, and taking walks. In retirement, David adopted a dog named Yoshi and they went for hikes and walks all over the county. To help keep Yoshi company, David adopted another dog Kenji

David loved those two dogs and hopefully, he reunited with them at “Rainbow Bridge.” At the same time, David really liked to use the computer to research everything possible and embraced all the new technological gadgets.

David is survived by his wife Barbara Sasaki, his daughter RaeAnn Adams, son David Adams (Alexis), granddaughter, Skylar Adams, and brother Gene Adams. He also leaves behind two other dogs Sansei and Riley who miss him very much.

The family would like to thank Belinda and her staff for the care and comfort they provided David during the last months of his life.

In lieu of flowers or monetary gifts, the family kindly requests that donations in David’s memory be made to the charity of your choice.
