I think of Adam quite often as I´ve known him since Kindergarten until his untimely passing. It´s hard to believe Adam would almost be 55 years old. I can only imagine what he could have accomplished if he had lived longer. Regardless, I´ll think of him for the rest of my life. May Adam Rest in Peace for all Eternity. With Deepest Love & Affection, Steven

I ONCE AGAIN WANT TO WISH MY CONDOLANCES TO THE FAMILY OF ADAM DAVID DON. CHILDREN ARE THE FOUNDATION OF FAMILIES. LOSING A CHILD IS THE GREATEST LOSS A FAMILY CAN EXPERIENCE. ADAM WAS A VERY GOOD PERSON. NEVER HAD THE OPORTUNITY TO EXPERIENCE THE FULLNESS OF LIFE.

The last time I added a message to Adams Guest Book I mentioned the fact that rarely a day goes by that I dont think of him. Even after more than 15 years that statement is as true today as it was the day Adam left us. I suppose its a testament to Adam that he was loved & admired by so many friends, family members & business acquaintances. I am sure I will continue to think of Adam until the day comes when we are all reunited with him. In the meantime, he will live in our collective hearts, thoughts & memories forever.

To Bob, Charlotte, Abbe & Steve:
I knew Adam since we were 4 years old & until today many years after his passing I still consider him one of my best & closest friends. Adam was truly unique & rarely a day goes by that I don't think of him, the times we spent together & what else he might have accomplished had he lived longer. Nevertheless, Adam still lived a wonderful life & he lived it to its fullest. I know that wherever he is he is in a beautiful place & he is happy now & forever. For Adam's immediate family that he left behind my heartfelt condolences are with them always.
With love & affection,
Steven Lefton Sharp

I am shocked and saddened on finding out the passig of Adam. I worked with Adam in Dallas at Eljer Industries. We became friends and hung out and roller bladed. I lost touch with him after he left to go to work for the Don Company and have thought of him often over the years but just today found this posting.
My deepest sympathy for the family for the loss of your son and brother. Adam was a wonderful person - was also smiling.

After my sister was welcomed into the Don family 9 years ago, I have had many great experiences with the Dons. I loved Adam very much, as if he was my own brother. His happiness and free spirited nature was infectious. We were both very proud uncles of Payton and Harper, and I will miss the opportunity of sharing the joy of their lives with Adam. However, I will always remind them that their Uncle Adam loved them very much, and that he was a wonderful person. My heart goes out to Bob, Charlotte, Steve and Amy, Abbey, Eve, Grandpa Abe, Aunt Marilyn, Uncle Rick, and everyone else both family and friends.
