May you rest in Peace, the Vets at the Soldiers & Sailors home are at a loss without you, You’re a unique one indeed I think God Broke Several molds just to ensure there wouldn’t be another like you
I am sorry to hear of Adams passing. You had a big heart and will be missed. I hope you found the peace you deserve.
Now that you have found your peace, dear friend, I hope you rest easy. Know that you touched many a person’s life, be it an internet friend, a vet you cared for and gave dignity to, the charity you always supported or the many many people who crossed paths with you. You are loved.
May your new journey be filled with much love and happiness.

Adam, you will be missed! I’ll miss you dearly pal.
Sending thoughts & prayers to your family.
I am so sad and sorry for the loss of such a wonderful guy. Adam always made me laugh and always had a smile on his face. We were all Soo blessed to have worked with him. The world is definitely a sadder place without this Big hearted guy. I pray for Gods peace comfort and strength for John and Brenda.
Adam will be missed by many. He always made me laugh and was fun to work with. My condolences to his brother and sister.
Adam, I will dearly miss you. You had a heart of gold and loved your work with the residents at the veterans home. I can recall many times that you would bring to my attention one of the residents who needed the support of a chaplain. The Lord did not leave you on this Earth all that long, what the 40 years that he gave you with us were a rich blessing.
Adam had such a big heart, always will I g to help others. He will be missed. So sorry for your loss.
Brenda and John, I remember Adam from when we were little. I remember him being a sweet kid. I never had the chance to see him again after we moved. I’m so very sorry to hear of your loss! My family and I are thinking of you and praying for you!
My prayers and thoughts to Adam’s family, friends, co-workers and veterans of IVHQ. I will not forget Adam’s wit, interesting trivia and his deep down kind soul. Adam had one of the most difficult professions , direct care nursing . It is a giving profession , one that should be appreciated . while working at IVHQ I observed Adam give years of service and sometimes endless hours of service . He did it with respect and kindness to the veterans. So sad, a true loss for the veterans and IVHQ. God Bless you Adam , RIP
Its very difficult to stay afloat with a boat so heavy & grey clouds blinding… this is a struggle of soooo many beautiful, wonderful amazing ppl . Blessings of strength & sunshine to the earth . You are such an amazing soul , in everything you did you never wanted anyone to feel sad or blue. You were a wonder uniquely quilted breathe of fresh air. You cared very deeply with passion very kind & caring no matter what kind of stress the work day brought you make the day brighter. It is ppl like you who make this world better ! i believe you are at peace , its a strength most dont understand to keep yourself going when you get under clouds that are so dark and heavy. I believe God took your hand & showed you just how amazing your life meant, how many hearts were heavy from missing you and wishing all of this wasnt true. I believe you never even knew the depth of how loved and amazing you are but i know God is showing you all your beautiful truths. You are forever with us in our hearts. Im very thankful to have worked beside you and share smiles

Adam, you are loved and remembered by many friends at IVHQ. We are in a very sad place right now and wishing God’s peace to your family, John and Brenda. I wish you rest for your weary heart, your heart of gold. I wish you an eternity of the feeling of 3 o’clock. I hope it’s Halloween every day where you are. Love and prayers, my friend.
Adam, You had such a big heart. You will be missed by all of us. My love to you John and your family. May God wrap his arms around you during this time and give you strength and comfort.
My condolences to his family.
Sorry for your loss. Prayers for you and family.
I hadn’t talked to Adam in a couple of years, but he was always a friendly & thoughtful guy. My sincere condolences to his family at this time.
Adam was a special kind of person. He was a true friend ,kind , a big heart and all around good person. I truly wish we could of done more for him and feel so bad about it all. John and Brenda thoughts and prayers to you both
Known you most of my entire life, you always made others and myself smile with jokes and humor but doing so so that no one would see your pain and hurt. You where and have always been a dear friend of mine, I regret that I will not be able to go to my first comicon with the only person who convinced me to go. You never where a veteran but you took care of and loved every veteran you came in contact with that makes you priceless. We graduated with over 500 and in some way shape or form you touched us and had an affect on each of us directly or indirectly. I wish I could be a Doctor Who and go back in time and remind you how important you are and that I and many others loved you and you matter to us. I wish I could go back in time and stop the abuse you took at a young age and the bullies you endured due to you never being confrontational. I wish I could stand by you as you slay those demons that have plagued you for most of your life. I am blessed and honored to have had you as my friend now and forever. I am sorry neither I or others could get to you on time to just tell you that no matter how bad things get you matter to us. Halloween will never be the same, life will have an emptiness now that you took with you and stole from us. Who you are is all that mattered. Adam thanks for your friendship and being strong when others where weak. Thanks for being my friend. I hope you find peace something I know you strived to find for so long. I hope you can take with you the happiness that eluded you for so long. Say hi to our friends and family as they great you. I will see you again one day my friend not today and not anytime soon but one day. Not goodbye Adam never goodbye just see ya when I see ya and help watch over those who have the same demons you did.
The world will be a sadder place without Adam in it. The Veteran’s were the recipients of his smile and caring. Sympathies to John & Brenda and other family and friends
John, Brenda & entire Koetter’s family please know our thoughts and prayers are with you all at this tough time. Adam was such a nice neighbor. RIP
Many thoughts and Prayers are going out to you John and your family during this difficult time. Adam was a caring person who had a heart of gold who is missed dearly. Sincerest Sympathy.
My deepest condolences to Adam’s family. He was a great asset to Schaper’s B when my Dad was in the Veteran’s Home. He will be greatly missed.
John and family, So very sorry to hear about Adam. He will be missed. Vicki Doebelin
I still remember watching MASH and singing the theme song. Whenever I was at the end of my rope he would never leave me hanging. Heaven has another angel
You were awesome to work with! You always made sure to tell me where I could go to new haunted houses…we shared lots of horror stories, our love for Halloween was pretty cool! RIP Adam! You will be missed!
John & Brenda my thoughts and prayers are with you. Adam will be deeply missed.
I can’t believe he’s gone. He’s like brother to me. I can’t even understand this. Completely heartbroken.
Adam will be missed beyond measure. There’s no words to truly describe how much he cared for others. Thinking of his brother & sister.
