Gerald (Ged) Duane Adams

Those who knew Gerald will remember a man of steady strength and quiet patience, marked by a genuine kindness and a deep love for his family.

He found joy in time spent doing what he loved; snowmobiling and four wheeling, building and trading cars, and heading out to car shows and Back to the Bricks with friends. His appreciation for Studebakers was more than an interest; it was part of what connected him to others and to the simple satisfaction of craftsmanship and shared conversation. He also treasured vacationing to many destinations and especially his happy place in Gulf Shores with family, moments that reflected his gratitude for time away and time together.

Gerald is survived by his beloved wife of 49 years, Leona; his loving children Chad (Amy) Adams and Matthew (Tiffany) Adams; grandchildren Liam Adams and Adley Adams; siblings Lynn Jones, Carol (Richard) Cunningham, Harold (Kim) Adams, Kathy (Randy) Cummings, and Mark (Teresa) Adams; and many nieces and nephews.

He was preceded in death by his parents, Harold and Katherine Adams.
