J. Adam LeRoy Smith, 59, passed away on November 25, 2024. Adam was a remarkable man whose life was defined by compassion, loyalty, and a passion for the things that brought him joy.
Adam proudly served in the United States Navy before pursuing his bachelor’s degree in nursing, a career he dedicated himself to for over 30 years. As a home healthcare infusion nurse, Adam provided care and comfort to countless patients, embodying the heart of his profession with skill and kindness.
Brilliant and full of life, Adam cherished his group of lifelong friends, who became his chosen family. Holidays, special occasions, and everyday moments spent with them and their families were some of his greatest joys. Their bond was a testament to the deep connections he fostered with the people he cared about most.
Adam’s love for music was unmatched. A devoted fan of heavy metal and classic rock, he found magic in the music and delighted in attending rock concerts. His home always had the best stereo systems, a reflection of his passion for sound. He was also an avid sports fan, attending games and proudly supporting the Green Bay Packers and Minnesota Vikings.
With his gift for storytelling, Adam had a way of making people laugh with his entertaining tales, always told with a comical twist. His humor and vibrant personality left an indelible mark on everyone who knew him.
Adam was predeceased by his parents, Joseph and Irene Smith, and his brother, Victor Lisser. He is survived by his beloved little dog, Irena (“Rena”); his Aunt Beverly Zacher; cousin Taryn Stell; and his lifelong friends Anthony and Marie Nuccio, Jeff and Joanna Lucas, Jose and Laurie Gainza Jr., Sean Conners, Cynthia and Gary Lubben, along with many other dear friends who enriched his life.
Adam’s kindness, humor, and love will forever live on in the hearts of those who knew him.
