Memories and Condolences
for Nathan Adams Jr.

Not sure what to say?





To the family of Nathan Thomas Adams Jr. My most sincere and deepest condolences. All my love and prayers go out to you. May God comfort you in your time of loss and need. Thomas was a very dear friend to me and sometimes even like a dad. He called me his little white son. Anthony and Tiffany know me as their adopted white brother. We would always laugh about that. I had the pleasure of being friends with Thomas for 19 years, I met him and Donna at Western Forge. Thomas is, was, and always will be a great man to all those who knew and loved him. Thomas, I love and miss you bro! God Bless you and your family! Rest in Peace. Sincerely, your little white son.

Anthony, Tiffany, Donna, and Thomas' beautiful Granddaughters,
In my heart, I feel your sadness. Thomas was a good man and friend. He is the "reason" I met the man I will marry! Long ago he introduced me to Chris and my life has never been the same. I'm happy that he let me into his family circle so I could meet all of you. As time goes by, the memories of laughter and love will get you through. I will keep you all in my prayers. Rest in Peace in the House of the Lord Thomas, until we meet again.

Family. I am so sorry to hear of our loss. Although I was never fortunate enough to meet my cousin. But, I will say I have met most of his siblings. I can only believe that he was a great provider, great listener, and would give moral support to his family as well as others. My people are great. Love you cousin Nathan. Your legacy will be carried on!
