Braxton graduated from Woodlawn High School and attended Bob Jones University. He excelled in many occupations throughout his life of 83 years. He sold automobiles at Richard Kelley Chevrolet, co-owned an Exon service station, and was an independent painting contractor. He loved woodworking, and made many wonderful things in his basement shop.
While working and helping out at Alliance Christian School, he managed and drove the school buses, and coached soccer. He was outgoing and witty, always making those around him smile. He was loving and generous, and an excellent cook! He loved watching game shows on television - especially Jeopardy and Wheel of Fortune!
Braxton was a faithful member of Glen Iris Baptist Church, serving as a deacon. He was a Godly man, and is now in heaven with his Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
Braxton is preceded in death by his parents Joseph Striplin Adams and Jessie Phillips Adams, brothers Joseph Striplin Adams, Jr and William Thomas Adams.
He is survived by his wife of 60 years Judith Elizabeth Hammond Adams, and nephew Michael Adams.
A private family graveside service was held, with interment in Jefferson Memorial Gardens, Trussville. A celebration and memorial service will be held at later date.
In lieu of flowers the family suggest that donations be made to Glen Iris Baptist Church, 1137 10th Place South, Birmingham, AL 35205.
