I loved this man with my whole heart, and I don\u2019t know what to do or what to say. His family has been informed and has quietly confirmed online. Please pray for his parents, Jim and June, and his sister Faith.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cHe had so many wonderful friends and knew that he was loved. I don\u2019t know what to do or to say; this comes at a horrible time and is most horrible for his family. Please keep THEM in your thoughts and prayers.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cAdam and I talked about this day so many times. I wish the world could have known the soft and generous heart behind the screen, the laughter and the tears \u201cbackstage.\u201d He was a wonderful person, a true friend to me whenever I needed him, and I genuinely don\u2019t know what to do without him.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cAnd not just me. I\u2019ve spent all day on the phone with SO many people who were close to Adam, who he loved and who loved him. He touched many lives, and he was preparing for another year of adventures, and I\u2019m sure he would have touched even more. And I\u2019m telling you, from a front row seat; he was the best. One of a kind. Irreplaceable.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI\u2019m sure more will come out from his family at the proper time; please don\u2019t spread around fake rumors. It seems to have been peaceful and natural, and that\u2019s all I can say for now: I will say more when I can. I don\u2019t even know if this is making sense.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u00a0\u201cPlease give his family and friends space and time \/ I\u2019ll let you all know if there\u2019s anything any of us can do. In the meantime, pray for his family.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI love you, Adam. I\u2019m devastated and lost \u2013 but you have done more for me than I can ever repay you for. I will never forget you; you\u2019ve done your duty and gone home to Schleep Well.
