Adam Plaza

Adam Plaza, 24, of Phoenix, Arizona went to be with God and the Angels on September 18, 2012 after being killed in a tragic car crash. He was born March 20, 1988, in Roseville, California. His nickname was “Adamson”. Adam grew up in Marysville, California where he loved to be surrounded by family and friends. Adam will be remembered for his humor, and mischievous smile. It was that humor that made him the most popular with nieces, nephews and cousins. He had an affinity to tinker, anything that could be disassembled was. Adam was a skilled outdoorsman. He frequently aggravated his brother when they would go fishing because he always caught something. Adam loved working on his cars, he quite frequently would be spotted custom modifying his latest “ride.” Perhaps the most memorable trait of Adam was his desire for a challenge, horseshoes, darts, cards, Ping-Pong he was always ready to play, and would frequently win. Adam was a very active member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. Adam would always take time with anyone to discuss faith and life. Adam graduated from Abraham Lincoln High School, June 24th, 2006. Adam married the love of his life Clairise McDonald, from that union a beautiful son was born, Kaiden Leroy Plaza. It is impossible to describe in a few lines the impact Adam had in his short and full life. Undoubtedly, each person who knew him will treasure in their hearts the way Adam’s life touched them. Sadly, our dearest Adam leaves to mourn his wife Clairise McDonald, son Kaiden Leroy Plaza, mother Dawn Del Ricketts, father Froilan Plaza, step-father Kenny Ricketts, brother Noah A. Plaza, sisters Heather C. Plaza, Kristina L. Medlin, Silver J. Toten, and grandparents Ted and Jenelle Nicholas. Services are private.
