Ambrose Milton Adams Jr.

He was born November 13, 1956, in Kalamazoo, Michigan, to the late Wynelle (Roberts) and Rev. Ambrose Milton Adams Sr. Ambrose worked as a General Manager at McDonald’s before spending the rest of his career as a TSM (Training Store Manager) at Wendy’s. He thrived on developing and training others in the fast paced food industry. Ambrose enjoyed woodworking and could fix just about anything. In his younger years, he enjoyed hunting, playing the guitar and singing like Elvis. He loved his dogs, and they gave him unconditional devotion.

Ambrose had a quick wit that always kept those around him on their toes. He would say what he thought with a smile and a twinkle in his baby blue eyes. His humor, love and knowledge will be missed by all who knew him.

Ambrose is survived by four children, Ambrose D. (Jill) Adams Sr., Lisa Marie (Nick) Brenner, Kristina Miller (Andy Calhoun) and Andrew R. Adams; nine grandchildren, Ambrose (Jade) Adams Jr., Rylee Porter, Connor, KayLynn, Matthew and Lilly Brenner, Evan and Madalynn Miller and Grace L. Adams; one great-grandchild, Ambrose D. Adams III; a son-in-law, Ryan Miller; a niece, Tammy (Greg) Fraley; and a nephew, Allen (Annette) Walker.

In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by a sister, Georgia (David) Walker, and his faithful companion, Rufus.
