Dear Harry & Shirley... A tragic loss that is difficult to understand and process. I am glad for what others have shared of their appreciation these last weeks for virtue that was evident in his life. It comforts my heart to know that what they felt was real from his life. That warmth comes from one source only and I appreciate hearing that he was allowing that kind of warmth to be felt from his life. Thoughts with you a lot since hearing the news... Thinking of you all and the family at this time.... Klinton Jacques

I am so heartbroken to hear about the tragic loss of dear Adam. I am so sorry. My heart breaks for you all.
I thoroughly enjoyed teaching Adam, he had such a bubbly personality, he was always so willing to help and had such a kind heart.. Adam sincerely showed his kind heart when he learned I lost my 14 year old son. So kind.
Adam loved singing and had a beautiful voice. He loved listening to many Christian artists and knew all the words! One of his favorites was Phil Wickham.
Adam also loved to get off topic in class and talk about motors and he sure could talk!
Once Adam, Ashley and I went for a hike in a conservation area. I got hopelessly lost but Adam found our way out of the forest. He was a fine , courteous young man.

My condolences goes out to Harry and Shirley@families. I met Adam when Shirley brought the kids to the store. Shirley and the kids would pick me up at the store and go to Timmie’s for lunch. Adam always had that nice cute smile on his face always pleasant. I made sure when the kids came in the store I would always ask them would you like a sucker. Adam would say yes please. I will miss him so deeply not coming in the store to get Shirley’s groceries. May you RIP my friend.
