Adam always wanted to make people laugh and smile. He always distracted some students but he made it worth it whenever I/his friends were having a bad day he always knew how to approach it Adam deserves the world and now he can view it and be at peace. I know Adam’s still gonna be the person to cheer people up no matter what situation it is he has a big heart and he’s the definition of funny, loving and a best friend. He always knew he could call me no matter what time it was or what it was about I always listen to him talk about how something amazing happened or he’d sometimes just troll me. We would sit on the phone for hours and he never made it to where things got boring he always was the bright light in the room always had a smile and made things negative to positive energy. I know he’s the best angel and makes the sunset pretty for his family to let them know he’s still here.

We had so much fun trick or treating with Adam he was always so funny & goofy

I love you Adam! every conversation we had I’ll cherish because I never told you how proud I was, on how you are as a person having compassion and empathy in every situation. Thanks for every moment you shared with me, 
Christopher Garringer

Adam was not only my cousin, but he was also my best friend. He always encouraged me to be better, and no matter what happens, I should not ever give up. The countless memories we have have made together will forever be remembered in my heart. One of my most favorite memories of him  happened the day before he passed. We were riding in the car we just left Wingstop with my mom, and I showed Adam the 'yellow light game'. The moment he spotted a yellow light he hit the roof of the car, and shouted "roof yellow light you're out!" It was a simple moment, but it perfectly captured Adam as the big cousin he was to me. He would always call me 'Lil SisCuz', and I will always remember myself as that from his point of view.  Every Dave n busters I see, every fish I spot, every yellow light I come across, and every Wingstop I eat at, I will think of Adam. Although we were not blood siblings, I viewed him as my brother, and I always will.  -Kloey

Although I only knew Adam for a short time he was the kind of kid you didn't forget.  I hired Adam to clean my horse stalls once a day and even though it was his job I found myself out there either helping him or just talking to him.  Sweet, kind and funny!! My heart hurts for his family and I pray for their peace 🙏❤️

Me and Adam’s last ever time stopping at the armadillo to look at Legos and walk around looking for good pokimon cards. I’m glad I have this photo of us. It reminds me that he will always be beside me. And that no matter why his love and funny faces will always be with me.❤️

I remember I would take days and days and days off of work just so I could pick Adam up and we would drive around all night and talk abt girls, eat food, and he even got me into collecting these little lego figures. Adam was my best friend. And he will always be my best friend. Ever since we were little we’ve always had this unbreakable bond. It shatters my heart that just a day before he passed we talked abt how much we missed each other and how we couldn’t wait to see each other again. I’ll get that chance someday. I’ll forever miss Adam.

When Adam expressed interest in becoming a firefighter but felt it was a dream out of reach, we brought the fire department to him. ♥️

There are some students who pass through our schools, and there are some who leave a permanent imprint on our hearts. Adam was one of those students. Adam was born to stick out in all of the best ways.

I had the privilege of seeing Adam almost every day. Not always because he was in trouble, but because he made it a point to stop by and check in. Those conversations, smiles, and daily interactions became a part of my routine, and I will forever be grateful for them.

Adam had a gift for making people laugh. His sense of humor could brighten a room, and he had a way of capturing the attention of those around him with his quick wit and personality. He was the kind of student others wanted to be around because he made people feel included and brought joy wherever he went.

What I will remember most, however, was Adam's heart. He was fiercely loyal to his friends and incredibly protective of his sister, Lily. He cared deeply about the people in his life and never hesitated to stand up for others. Adam was a protector, a helper, and a true Good Samaritan. He was always looking for ways to support those around him, often putting others before himself.

Adam's life reminds us that a person's impact is not measured by the number of years they are given, but by the love, kindness, laughter, and compassion they share. He touched the lives of so many people, including mine, and his memory will continue to live on in all of us who were fortunate enough to know him.

To Adam's family, thank you for sharing him with us. Please know that he made a difference in the lives of countless students and staff, and he has left a deep imprint on my heart. I will always be grateful for the opportunity to know him, to learn from him, and to witness the goodness he brought into this world.

Adam will be deeply missed, fondly remembered, and forever loved.
