Adam Wade Stockton

I am so sorry Julie and Jill. I just found out two days ago. Words cannot express the sadness I felt of this tragic news. I was glad to experience the love and gentleness that Adam gave to me. He was spontaneous but, very predictable. I can say that the good times we shared were so much fun. He will always be a part of my life and treasured in my heart. If you need anything please let me know.

Love,
Molly

Julie,

Im so sorry to hear about Adam. I just heard early this morning. I remember him as being so smart and kind and not the average guy, which was refreshing. I hope you and Jill are doing okay. Please accept my condolences.

Gaye, J. J. and Family,
I'm so sorry for the loss of your loved one. What a handsome man. My heart hurts for all of you. Know that you're in my thoughts, prayers and heart. You're family to me. I love you more than I can express here.
My love now and always,
Aunt Wanda

From birth, Adam was special. He was the baby boy that my Dad always wanted to have. He was a bit of a Mama's boy in his younger years, and I remember having to sit outside the steps of his Kindergarten class with him for at least half the year, because he was so afraid of leaving Mom. He grew into a young man that exceeded all expectations academically. His intelligence was innate and teachers LOVED him, because he was such a warm, sweet, caring little child. He grew up in such a loving home, and it showed in his nature. He never judged. He became a young man that people were instantly drawn to. Not daring or arrogant, but unpretentious, unassuming, and humble. As an adult, his circle of friends was broad. He had friends of all ages, all backgrounds, from the typical Southeast Texas Redneck, to an elderly gentleman who was a Rocket Scientist. He was a peacemaker, and the kind of person that unlike most of us, was truly able to see the GOOD in just about anybody. He despised closed-mindedness, and rose up against hatred and arrogance and greed. Adam was a calm, simple man, with simple needs. He never allowed himself to buy into mainstream ideas, if they didn't fit with what he already believed. He was passionate for the "underdog". His love of nature and hunting brought him to the homeland~the place of his father's birth, many years ago. And in those woods, he found peace and solace, and many MORE friends. There was almost nothing Adam couldn't do, build, figure out, or put together. He was a natural at most everything he tried to do. Although he never had a wife, or children of his own, little kids were enamored by his presence. Jason and Jenna, his niece and nephew absolutely adored him. They called him "Uncle Madam" most of the time. When they knew he was coming to see them, or they were going up to Jacksonville, they would hold hands and jump up and down. The last time they saw him over Thanksgiving, they both ran at him so hard to hug him, that it almost knocked him down. Those kids couldn't get enough of their Uncle. He was so patient, and so kind. He was never in a hurry. He got there, when he got there. Adam was just Adam. The guy with a room full of snakes in his trailer, only a few beers in his refrigerator,(and usually nothing else), a pot of deer chili on the stove, and Spongebob on TV. There were two books in his magazine rack in his bathroom. Quantum Physics, and Calvin & Hobbes. This world lost what was honestly one of the best the human race had to offer on the night that Adam died. It sounds cliche to say, but he indeed WAS one in a million. As his sister, and the mother of the children that loved him beyond words, I am heartbroken. For me, for Julie, but mostly for Jason and Jenna. They now must grow up with only the memories of their beloved Uncle Adam. They will never know how much he could have enriched their little lives. Thank you all for knowing him. Feel FORTUNATE if you got a chance to know him, because if he ever called you friend, he was your friend for life. Rest in Peace my little brother. We'll miss you everyday, until we can see you again.

There are just no words to describe the hurt, loss and the sadness. You will be forever missed. Memories will be cherished. RIP, Adam. I love you sooo much.

Julie and Jill, I am so sorry for your loss. Adam was a very special person. Seeing his sweet face on the memorial page made me cry. I wish I could take your pain away but I can keep you in my prayers. Vp

My supplications are with you and your family Jill. Much love and peace be with you all.

Julie, I am so sorry for your loss. My heart is with you and Jill.

My heart and prayers go out to the remaining family. Adam was a special person and although it has been a long time since I last saw him, he is still in our thoughts. God Bless.

Adam was born into a very loving family as a "late in life" child. I remember how proud Uncle Oleo was that day! I told him that Larry and I would teach Adam how to hunt and fish since Uncle Oleo would be too old to take him. Aunt Joan thought that was funny. Adam was full of curiousity as a child. He was always trying to discover a new bug or reptile on his many adventures with Aunt Clete. We were very proud of Adam's many acheivements in life. He was the person to ask for many questions over the years. We will miss him dearly. Our prayers are with you girls.
