Adam Hewett Obituary

Hewett, Adam Shea

On Saturday, March 8, 2025, Adam Shea Hewett passed away in Chicago, Illinois, at the age of forty-three years old. Adam was born in Morgantown, West Virginia on October 2, 1981. He was married to Kelly Louise Cosgrove on July 20, 2019, and together they raised their beloved dog, Arthur Pendragon Hewsgrove.

Adam was a senior software engineer, entrepreneur, musician, craftsman, artist, and inventor. He started several companies, took many risks, and was not afraid to fail. As a businessman he was creative, undaunted, and almost annoyingly optimistic. But as a person he was gentle, trusting, generous, and loyal. We are devastated at his loss and will miss him dearly.

Adam is survived by his wife, parents, siblings, and numerous aunts, uncles, and cousins, in both the United States and England.
