Laurel O’Connell This is how I remember your silly self.
Laurel O’Connell Missing you sweet friend. Until we meet again...
When Adam and I first started seeing each other. One night she drove me from Atlanta to Orlando, FL to help me pack up my belongings and start a new life. We took turns putting CD's into the truck radio. When it was her turn she put a mix CD that she made and then this song came on. She looked at me sand said it was one of her all time favorite so...
Erin Wicker I just wanted to share JR Wickers words from Adam’s Facebook group along with the photo I had JR put up in Adam’s hospital room her last week there. I sent in pictures every time JR worked: I was roommates with Adam twice. Once in Memphis when I was in nursing school. Then again along with the woman I married and whom for Adam would be a bride’s maid. Surreal doesn’t do justice, being in nurse mode last week, when I just happened to see Adam in one of the icu rooms as I passed. I want everyone to know Adam was in peace. Adam’s heart rate, blood pressure, and breathing showed no signs of pain or distress. I spoke to Adam a few different times and washed Adam’s face and feel fortunate to have had that experience handed to me so I could share the fact that there was no suffering in the end. Now sing a karaoke song and remember that larger than life figure, with such a life loving laughter!

It’s 2013 : I am at the house that Adam Zee and Khanh Nguyen shared in East Atlanta. We are doing our regular Friday night get drunk/ move the LaCroix box fort around/ watch Beyoncé videos in Youtube routine. We decide to go to 529 to watch the band play (my BF at the time was in the band) Adam take time to makes bacon, to bring as a gift. We arriv...
I wish I had known the last time I saw Adam Zee was going to be so. We met for sushi in Inman Park with Cate (First Quarter Cate). I had learned about Adam’s heart surgery very much after the fact, and we were getting together to celebrate her being released from the hospital. Adam loved sushi and I have many fond memories of poring over menus toge...

Erin Wicker 2001ish?-2013 Here’s a little ramble about my relationship with Adam: I met Adam in English class at UT. I had an art class afterwards so she always walked over with me to smoke cigarettes with the art and architecture kids. We loved to play games and had a weekly family dinner called “the Clinch crew” because we all lived on clinch Ave. One of the 3 of us would host family dinner. We would play games and watch the simpsons. Adam and I both moved to Memphis after graduating. That’s when we became inseparable. We sang karaoke every week. Sometimes twice a week. I remember her drunkenly scribbling an excuse for work on a napkin for me because I knew it was going to be a rough day after such a good time. Sometimes, I would come home from work finding Adam standing on my doorstep, ready to start laughing and playing. She moved in with me and my fiancé to save on gas (jk, she just moved in to get out of her parents house and we hung out every night anyway). Adam was my bridesmaid in 2007. I remember her doing such a great job on my bachelorette party-spray painting punk rock shirts for all of us and everyone wondering how this bearded man got to hang with this huge group of women. She cried at the wedding. After I lived in Atlanta for a couple months, I called Adam and we both cried and cried. She was struggling over a breakup and I was lonely and had just celebrated my birthday in a new town. I talked Adam into moving here after telling her about all the wonderful gay bars filled with gay men. She moved in with me and my sister within a few weeks. We started moving on from each other slowly after that but still Adam was there for family Christmas/events and more. We would run into each other from time to time and have the greatest time. Adam loved a good story. I could tell her an inside joke between JR and me and she would adopt it as if she had been there the whole time. We both loved abba and sang our hearts out on road trips. Halloween was big and we ALWAYS dressed to the max. I hadn’t spoken to Adam for 6 years because she told me she was done with us. It was really hard on me and I regret not reaching out to her to try to make amends. As JR said in comfort about her being sick- Adam moved forward through life. She didn’t let things get her down and moved on quick. My husband works in the ICU and saw Adam on Memorial Day on his floor. It felt like fate. JR was able to go into Adams room and talk to her during her last week. He washed her face and talked to her, reminiscing. She never woke up but JR said that all of her vital signs indicated she was at peace. I made a collage (posted in my photos) to hang in her room. JR told me that a photo of the patient helps nurses to take better care. Adam and I were fast friends as I believe she was with many. It was intense and we grew into adults together. RIP my dear friend. I love you.
When I was a teenager I would walk over to Adam’s house to hang out with him after school. I always remember Shelia pulling a DiGiorno pizza out of the oven for him. He also created a character called the Fairly Retarded Godmother. We would run around the neighborhood (around the construction of new houses) while he was pretending to be my godmothe...
Adam, my friend, my neighbor boy. How I adored him. I adore him so much that I can't stop sending him private messages. I know he's not surprised. My favorite Adam story was going to the movies with him, we watched a sappy movie and I cried my eyes out. He so sweetly turned towards me and held my hand. One minute he could do that, and another...
Oanh Nguyen I couldn’t come to terms that my W is gone. I wanted to keep believing he physically was existing on this Earth. I met W over 11 years ago as a colleague and instantly we became friends. My bestie, sister, and current boss got to work along side with W & we all knew W was too awesome to keep contained. W, I’m so glad I got to be your V & I love you 4eva! I know when it’s my time, you’ll be there to give me a big bear hug and welcome me home 🌈💔😘💕🥰
Oanh Nguyen Adam names our friend group SWV, S for NayNay = Spanish Latina, W for Adam = White, and me = Vietnamese. I loved W’s creativity and joy! Yes, W, you are ours & I’m so fucking happy you entered my universe 💗💗💗💗
My dearest Adam I think of you everyday. I speak to you, I miss you, I love you. Be at peace my friend, please know you are loved.
