The Metts Family,
It saddens my heart to hear of this news. I coached Adam along with his father Gerald and our good buddy that Adam is with today, Mike Leggett. As a coach you coach not to put kids in the big leagues but to help others. It does my heart good to know that Adam was always helping people since those wonderful days of Collins Park Baseball.

May God Bless you,
Butch and Laurie Barfield

So very sorry about your loss. I knew Adam thru a very dear friend of mine. The two of them came to my home on James Island and assisted in painting the interior of my home. He had a super personality and was there to help. My sympathies go to the family and I pray you will always remember the great times and smiles he gave you.

The last memory I have of Adam is a few weeks ago when he crossed the street to help my little boy with his bicycle seat. He was always willing to a helping hand. He will be missed. Lots of love to the Metts family.

I remember working with Adam's Dad at Geer Drug Company when I was a younger man. Gerald spoke very proudly of his son. ALWAYS! I was proud to read that he too, had become a father and family man just like his Dad. I know he will be sorely missed. Rest in Peace, Adam. God Bless to the Family.
