Thinking about you and your family. We still miss you and are remembering the love and kindness you always shared in your life. Miss and love you forever and always.
You crazy kid. You mean so much to so many. We miss you endlessly. Your family is in my thoughts and prayers. Thinking of you always. Looking up at the sky every night and seeing you shine over us, brighter than any other star. The heavens needed an angel like you to give us more strength, hope, and inspiration on earth. I pray your parents continue to feel your love and spirit always, reminding them how much we need them here to keep your love, strength, legacy, and positive spirit to help keep your memory alive. I pray that they live their life to the fullest, as enjoy every second, because that is what he wants for them. I love you Adam, and I send my love and thoughts to your family. Distance and time may exist between us now, but you are forever in my heart and you’re with me always. Xoxo
Always the thoughtful one, I remember when we were making a Beatles playlist for your mom after you bought her an iPod. Miss you. Thinking of you and your family.
One of my favorite memories with you was when you took me and Rose to this park where you and Samantha would go running. You brought your baseball glove and a baseball to teach Rose how to play baseball, how to keep her eye on the ball, and how to catch it. The time and attention you gave her was precious to us both. I can still see you patiently showing her how to wear the glove and how to catch the ball. And I remember how you took me and Rose for her first baseball game. The Mariner's were playing Oakland. We saw Ken Griffith Jr and Ichiro. You bought Rose a Mariner's sweater. She was overjoyed and we all had so much fun. You brought Rose and me into your world and shared your love without hesitation. You were so young, but you knew how to love completely and selflessly. I will always remember the many holiday family events and celebrations with friends that you shared with me and Rose. I learned how you had some of your father's humor and your mother's huge, loving, and generous heart. Thank you for your sharing your love, light, and life with us. Our memories will continue to make me smile, laugh, and feel forever blessed... even if it brings some tears now. Rose and I love you always.
Adam, Rest in peace brother. I miss you a lot and every day I remember you and the few days we spent together. You are one of good friends who I worked with and truly I liked our friendship. Adam invited me to the theater and we went together to watch spider man movie, we spent good time at the work as well. I do miss him every day as he used to work next to me as we were in the same room. One day I moved my office orientation and he asked me hey AZ why did move your office’s orientation? Don’t you like to talk to me anymore? I felt guilty as I did not ask him at that time before I did that. I told him no, just feel more comfortable with the height of the table so I can put my laptop and the keyboard on it. I used to drink energy drinks when I was in active duty, but I stopped after December 2016, but when Adam started work with me he had to buy me different drinks every week with chips and oatmeal with blue berries. We started diet together and he encouraged me play football together, I wish I had enough time to spend it with him. I was telling him about how I spend my time with my 4 years daughter and playing hide & seek with her, or watching Tom & Jerry and he was laughing about that all the time. I felt he was enjoying each moment I was telling him. I am so sad I did not call him after he left us although I was busy with the new born baby and family. It is very painful for when I heard about his leaving, but I promise Adam to pray for you every time and each moment I remember you. Thank you for our true friendship, thanks for all the nice moments we spent together, and I apologize for not contacting you. Rest in peace and God with you.

Adam worked for me at Potelco for about 4 or 5 years after I stole him away from Peter's group. He was always late for work and had a different excuse every time I challenged him. It got to be one our "inside" jokes after a while because as many times as he blamed it on his Saab I couldn't believe the car would even run :) Adam was very smart and when I could get him to work he did a great job. Usually I had to circle the building 3 times to find him because he wouldn't sit as his desk for more than 15 minutes. I usually found him chatting and flirting with all the women at work. We had a lot of fun at work especially when Adam put together a fantasy football league one year. None of us were as good as we thought we were and there was a lot of trash talking going on each week. Looking back on it, ribbing your buddies and getting piled on from them was the most enjoyable aspect of the league. Adam could take it as good as he gave it, he had a great sense of humor.
We both had the bright idea to join some friends for the Tough Mudder in 2012. It was a 10 mile mud run in Black diamond where we got soaking wet and muddy, electrocuted by 10,000 volts and suffered many cramps. It was a total blast and all nine of crossed the finish line together. The next week at work neither one of us could walk up or down the stairs at work with holding onto the handrail with both hands. Good times that will last a lifetime.
All kidding aside, he was a fine young man and loved his parents and spent a lot of time with his friends doing what he loved. You will be missed my friend, rest in peace.
Your friend, Jeff Lampman
