To Kim, Kurtis and Mitchel, Pastor and Mrs. Kelly and Bill, and to all your family members and loved ones:
Please accept my sincere and deepest condolences for your loss of Adam.
As Adam's schoolmate and teammate at College Park Elementary and Kingsway College, I learned some of what you know better than anyone: Adam was a dedicated, engaging, focused, accomplished person with a wonderful sense of humour.
He was a skilled, multi-sport athlete with competitive fire and a winner's mentality. As a grade 10 student, he used those traits to help our team win our school's basketball championship. He was an excellent goalie and I had the privilege of playing hockey with him. He was the first kid I had ever personally met who REALLY played golf, and it was wonderful to hear how his love for that game became a life-long passion which fortified the bond between him and his sons.
Many know that Adam's clear objective to serve in policing started at the earliest stages. I am among the throng who respect and admire his clarity of purpose and his perseverance in starting his career as a teenager, serving the community in a variety of policing roles, and rising to the highest ranks at a young age in a stellar career.
No one can truly understand your loss or your experiences leading up to it. But please accept our wish for you: clarity, beautiful, loving memories, and the emotional strength and support to navigate every challenge at this difficult time and in the future.

To Adam's family - I wish to offer my sincere condolences at the passing of Adam. Pastor Kelly and Mary I remember you telling us about your sons and their families and how you loved them and were so proud of them. There is nothing like the sorrow of losing a son or a husband or father. I'm sure you have wonderful memories from Adam's life and connection to his family and you will always have his memory in your heart. May God keep His arms around you and comfort you.

Heartfelt condolences to Kim, Mitch and Kurtis and the entire Kelly family. We will miss Adam greatly in our community as a neighbor and friend. He was the first resident to come knocking at our door with a grand welcoming smile, looking for a buddy for Mitch to hang out with. Rest peacefully Adam❤️

I have known Adam I'm guessing near 25 + years. Never did I ever seen a frown on his face when I met him. Always had a smile a mile wide.
He was always there to help my family when they did something stupid and we always followed his great advice when needed
As you know I'm not a religious person at all, I did say lots of prayers this year for Adam and they did not get answered.I thought he had this shitty disease beat.
I do believe he will be watching over you guys as your guardian Angel and I do believe we will all meet again someday. I personally can't wait for that time to see my friend again
Sending lots of hugs to you guys

Dear Bill and Mary,
I am so sorry to hear of Adam losing his fight to leukemia. It is one of the hardest things I believe a parent has to face - the death of a child.
I want you to know that you are lifted up in prayer
"He will be your peace" Micah 5:5
"so do not fear, for I am with you, do not be dismayed for I am your God, I will strength you and help you, I will uphold you with Myrighteous right hand." Isaiah 41:10
"The Lord is close to the brokenhearted..." Psalm 34:18
Sending love and hugs,
Ruth

My thoughts and Prayers are for you all .
I went to elementary school and high school with Adam .
We became good friends after high school. When he would call me and chat for hours.
Where he always gave me great advice and always wanted to see me succeed .
I had a lot of laughs over the years with Adam, he has the kindest smile that would mealt anyone’s heart.
I hope with Love for Adam you will only remember great times as I am sure that was his wish.
God Bless you all.

Kim and Family,
Adam was an incredible person and friend. Adam accomplished so much in such a short period of time. He had such integrity and dedication in all he did, but most of all, great love and passion for his family, friends, and golf! Adam is blessed to have such an incredible family. It is with a heavy heart we say, we are sorry for your loss.
With love,
