Wow! Friend its been 5 long years since you , left this earth Damn just sad

SURELY you didn't expect me to forget your birthday!! or to forget to bake peanut butter cookies!! Except now I have to eat them and will probably have to run til next year to lose the weight....I love you Pita!

Happy Birthday Pita! I love you always <3

Happy birthday pita!!! Not a single day goes by where I don’t think of you and smile. I am blessed beyond measure for the time I had with you and the love you brought to my life. I love you always my angel Adam. <3

I was so busy being kitchen abused by my family I almost forgot to come back and say that of the things I am thankful for and was thankful for I couldn’t miss the moment to say how thankful I am for the time spent with you and the love you showed me. The most handsome angel I imagine there is.

I dreamt of you last night, it was such a vivid dream I felt like it went on for hours. I was confused because I figured I would've dreamt of my dad since tomorrow makes 11 years for him but it was you. It was a bizarre one because all of my dreams with you are always us hanging out like we used to, for some reason this one started off with you dating someone else, everyone was in your house but you were the only one who saw me. At the end of my dream the two of us sat down to talk and you grabbed my face and told me "I choose you, I'll always choose you." I don't know who the other girl was in the dream but I knew she had to go lol. I'm tired Pita, of looking for the pieces of you that I loved so much in someone else. You are and always will be my one in a million ❤️

I miss you Adam, damn big head you was so real and you had your ways, I understood what was wrong and always talked the truth to ya. Damn Adam.....

2 years tomorrow... still miss your face

I want you to know I am thinking of you Pita, today and everyday. I love you!

Oh Adam, how much we miss you, and how loved you are. Cannot believe you have been gone over a year. How many beautiful babies have been born and milestones that I wish I could laugh with you about. Me and Ash still giggle at things you used to say and talk about how real your presence feels to us still, it's like we can still hear your responses when we are talking

Pita chip, I woke up in the middle of the night and just wanted to talk to you. I push everyday to carry on in my life but there isn't a day that I don't think of you or look at your pictures. You are my calming when I'm having a bad day and my smile when I want to tell somebody I'm having a good one.

I came across this last night online and though of you,

So dry your eyes and remember me,
not as I am now,
but as I used to be.
Because, I will remember you all,
and look on with a smile.
Understand in your hearts,
I’ve only gone to rest a little while.

I know I'll always have you above me and that is the greatest comfort of all

I love you Adam

Happy birthday Adam ! Tacos and coronas tonight followed by carvel cake! Love you

Happy Birthday Baby! I got a carvel cake with your name on it! ;) I miss you every minute of every day. I'd give anything to have you with me now and have those rib crushing hugs from you. I still carry your picture around with me, still look for heart shaped clouds, still listen to our play list. I know if you were with me you'd still be trying to tell me you're 29 because you know I had to tease you when you hit 30 and 31 would've been just as fun for me :-P.  Please don't be mad at me for the silly outfits I'm finding for Stu, he looks cute :) I love you so very much Adam

I'd do anything to see you crashed on my couch again or have you bug me about hittin the gym and wash your stupid protein shakes out of my cups. Your birthday is coming up, we are attempting a get together, letting lanterns go or something, you'd probably make fun of me for it if you could...feels like I hear you laughing at me all the time when I do something to preserve your memory. I just miss you... so much it hurts.

I cannot believe Adam is gone. Adam is one of, if not the most, important figure of my youth. I spent so many years believing that he would be the one I'd be with forever, the man I would marry. Ali and I even once had a late night drunken conversation about planning a wedding on a budget at Kelly's wedding. But life pushes and shoves and in the end we were toxic to each other. It took me a solid year to come to the realization that I'd have to make a life without him. I always hoped, wished, and prayed that he'd find love again, settle down, have a family, and just lead a happy, fulfilling, and prosperous life. That opportunity has been taken from him. How I wish the news were different. I thought about him at my nursing graduation. I even thought about him on my own wedding day. Few people have impacted my life as much as Adam and his family. There was a point in my life where my whole life was him. It's so strange to have once been so close to someone but he became someone I just used to know. I am deeply saddened to hear of his passing. I would have loved to have said to goodbye; to close the chapters with fuzzy vague endings, to tie the loose ends. To let him know that I never stopped loving him, we just were not right for each other any more. And that's okay. Because love always prevails and he was an easy one to love.
To the family;
For all of you I pray for peace, love, and closure.

With love,
Paula

Words can't truly express the way how I feel, I lost my ace even tho we meet in September we both had grown to know each other's life, Adam you was such a real dude to me we always made one another laugh I had your back men just wish you were still here but I know deep down in my heart you will always be apart of my life your little flea miss yeah lol, all the good times we had, and yeah it was bad ones I guess when you was having your time of the month lol, you will be miss but I know your in a wonderful place s.i.p baby boy love you always Adam

Adam, I can't believe you're not here. It seems like just yesterday we were just hanging out on your couch watching You Me and Dupree for the fifth time. Every time I thought it was Wedding Crashers, and I would always tell you that was a way better movie. I remember when that dog of yours was just a pup, now he looks like a black sheep, as I would call him. He sure is friendly though. Way too friendly to be an attack dog I would say. To you, he was just an "alert" dog. Time sure does fly, but all my memories of you are positive because you were such a cool person. I remember when you were going through that motorcycle phase like a bunch of the other guys. One time you were talking about how reckless one of the guys at work were. You said he thought he was "invisible". Obviously you meant invincible. I felt like saying "What, he thinks no one can see him?" But I didn't. You were one of the few people exempt from my sharp sarcasm. I let it slide, because you were Adam. You were way too cool to make fun of. I will miss you bro, but the time I spent with you was very special and you will always be in my heart.

Words can't say how sorry I am to all . Adam me and Big Bill were talking about you tonight and how I use to make you drive the fork lift because Billy didn't have a license and how we use to laugh and all the strange people we worked with and how I use to tell you my guy problems sitting on the picnic bench smoking my nasty cigarette and you would always tell me jokes to get my mind of of things . I will never forget you and what a great person you are Rest up there and save some space for the Hd crew until we meet again xoxo

I remember when Mrs. B was pregnant with Adam. Memories of Adam will be safely tucked away in the hearts of so many...

Adam you hold a very special piece of my heart that can't be replaced. I love you always and forever xoxo My love and Prayers go out to Pam and the whole Beltrone Family...

I met Adam in 10th grade. We both lived in woodgate and went to the western annex just down the street. Being so close to home we couldn't help but leave early every once in a while. We'd go to the mall or back to his place with his ferrets if I remember correctly. Didn't see him much after high school but when I would it was just like old times, always wearing a smile. My condolences to his family.

Dear Pam, Ashley, Alison and Family,
I am so sorry for the loss of Adam. I remember him as a young boy, very cute, a little shy and adventuresome.
I remember when he was lost in the woods and gave everyone a scare.
I can't imagine your pain. I'm offering my prayers for your wonderful family.

I remember how great of a natural barber he was! No training needed lol. Went to high school with Adam. Great human being. I'll surely never forget him. Peace to the family, and just know that he touched many.

Pam and Family,

You are all in my prayers.

Love,
Andrea

Adam, my bird chested old best friend. I couldn't believe when Kelly text me about you passing away. I felt chills through my body. we had so many hilarious and adventurous times together. I tried for the past few years to reconnect with you but it was impossible. I remember always calling on your bday even when you stopped answering and returning calls and texts. You always asked how I remember your bday. 9th and 10th grade it was a ritual to go to your house and get you out of bed to come to school. A lot of times I ended up in bed with you and the ferrets haha. All the great times we had with your family especially at Kelly's house in the garage. The haircuts, the workouts, the jokes. The time me you and john went and ketchuped Jimmys jeep. I can go on and on. The friendship we had was second to none. I wish we didnt become as distant as we had the past few years. I hope you know I did everything I could to reconnect with you. Although the past few years we hadn't spoken or seen each other, it hurts knowing there isn't even a chance to see you again. I hope you are relaxing up there and maybe one day I can meet you again and hear your stupid dinosaur noises. Love you bud. RIP AJB

To my little cousin who will be forever missed. Adam, I have so many good memories with you. When you were little I always played with you and carried you around. I swore you were my little real life doll. Ashley and Ali would always say, "why do you always want to just play with Adam?" I was 6 and you were a baby. I remember pulling the wagon around with you in it as well. As you got older- wow we always fought!! I am pretty sure I was teasing you- cause I was in trouble all the time. I remember my parents making me hug you and read to you and tell you I loved you! When you guys moved in with us and you were older- those were the best times!! We had sleep overs in my room and we laughed about everything. We hung out with Erika and all your friends!! I truly miss those days- we were so close and I will never forget those days. I am sorry you never met Drew but I have the text messages saved where I sent you a picture of Drew and you said he is cute!! I love you forever little cousin and until we meet again xoxoxoxoxo

Rest in peace, Adam.

My Pita

I'm so sorry for all the time I've missed with you, I don't know what I'm supposed to do going forward knowing that no one can ever fill my heart like you do. I remember when we first started dating I told you I felt like I couldn't trust you with my heart because it was so easy to love you I was afraid you might break me, I guess in some way I was right. Who can I turn to if you're not around the corner anymore? I have no arms to seek comfort in. My smarty pants, you always had to be right no matter what we debated on, most of the time I LET you win...I told you I had no family left without my dad and you offered me in to yours, you told me they would love me because you did and I was too afraid, but its just as easy to love them as it was with you. I will cherish you forever and I hope you know that no matter what, I do love you and I will always love you. I'll send you our song for Colorado...

I've waited a hundred years
But I'd wait a million more for you
Nothing prepared me for
What the privilege of being yours would do

If I had only felt the warmth within your touch
If I had only seen how you smile when you blush
Or how you curl your lip when you concentrate enough
Well I would have known
What I was living for all along
What I've been living for

Your love is my turning page
Where only the sweetest words remain
Every kiss is a cursive line
Every touch is a redefining phrase

I surrender who I've been for who you are
For nothing makes me stronger than your fragile heart
If I had only felt how it feels to be yours
Well I would have known
What I've been living for all along
What I've been living for

See you in Colorado baby!
Your Pita

Pam and family,
You are in our prayers. Much love,
Will and Sherry Bennett

Our love and prayers are with you all. Rest now sweet Adam.

George and Susie Krajsa

The first time my husband met Adam, he was outside holding some sort of giant canon. My husband said, "um, what is your cousin doing?" Adam smirked and with a great toothy grin said, "dude, it's a potato gun!" Never in my life have i seen one since! I'm regretful of all the moments we didn't share... Either because of distance or circumstances. I will always feel like he is my little brother... Who used to pull chunks of hair out of our heads, or just tag along with his sisters and cousins. He danced to the beat of his own drum. And i hope wherever he is, he's got his trusty potato gun in hand ready to conquer what is next. Love you little cousin. Erin

The amount of tears that have been shed for you are nothing compared to the love that surrounds your memory. And I'm so glad I had the privilege to be alive at the same time as you. Let your soul rest, and we will never forget. Love you so much. ❤️

Adam,
your passing has left many with a broken heart. Thats how much you are loved. Leaving us at such a young age is just not right and is difficult to accept. I am not going to think of you in the past, but look forward to seeing you in the future. We love you and you will always be in our hearts. Rest in peace. Love you, Uncle Todd & Aunt Jackie

Love you so much cuz, I'll never forget coming over paps house and eating all your ramen noodles, when you came over with your motorcycle and gave me a ride and said I was more fun than David because he didn't wanna go fast and when you used to tell me that the beetles outside my house people ate and I believed you- I always was excited when I knew you were coming over or I was gonna see you I'll never forget your sense of humour and all your crazy reptiles I'll love and miss you like crazy. Xoxo

I love you little brother, I hope I did enough while I had you on earth, thank you for our midnight talks, its finally time to rest

You will always burn in my heart!! When I can see through my tears, I can share some stories but for now I will love you forever and miss you even more man!!
