When Adam was 18 he decided that he didn’t want to go on holiday with his Mum, Dad and Sister, so he was trusted to stay on his own for a week. He was asked to do a couple of things whilst everyone was away: 1. Get his Mini MOT’d, 2. Don’t drive his Dad’s company car...

Helen

I remember Adam’s huge love of music and his aspiration to be a DJ, which as I recall caused no end of worry on his family’s behalf. Adam was never one for taking the easy route! But he was adored by my family and others alike.
