On December 22, 1972 a
precious gift was born
into
the home of
Jimmie and Barbara Adams. Jody Walton
Adams was the
second child born to this family.
Jody passed from
this life on September 11, 2005,
making his stay
on earth 32 years, 8 months and 20 days. Jody is
survived by his
parents, Jimmie and Barbara Caudill Adams; his older
sister, Melissa
Diane Slone, and her husband, Mark; and his younger
sister, Kara
Margaret Adams. He is also survived by several aunts,
uncles, and
cousins.
Jody attended Carr Creek Elementary and Knott
County Central
High School. He
graduated from Hazard Community Technical
College and
obtained his Master Electrician license. He worked for
Elliot Supply of
Pikeville, Kentucky, and was working on the new
Letcher County
Central High School. Jody was a talented electrician
and loved the
work that he was doing. His employers and co-workers
were always
complimentary of his work.
Jody loved to fish and hunt and spend time
with his family and
friends. His
greatest thrill was to out do his daddy whether they were
hunting, shooting
clay pigeons, or fishing. He especially loved to
beat Jimmie at
grouse hunting. He also loved taking his dogs out to
hunt with his
uncle, Ricky.
Jody was very close to his mother and teased
her that her three
children were the
“3 P’s”. Missie was the Perfect one, Kara was the
Privileged one,
and he was the Problem.
Jody was an extremely intelligent man who was
blessed with the
ability to talk
to anyone about anything. His interests were so varied
that he had a
wide range of knowledge about many topics, and could
elaborate on any
subject. Jody had a warm, generous spirit and showed
great respect for
people. His family could always depend on him to
show up when they
needed help. Jody never met a stranger. He had a
knack for making
the people around him feel comfortable.
Psalm 18:6 says, “In my distress I called upon
the LORD, and
cried unto my
God; he heard my voice out of his temple, and my cry
came before him,
even into his ears.” I believe that God heard Jody’s
cry of distress
and delivered him.
Jody’s life on earth was short, but was lived
each day to the fullest.
Ask anyone in his
family and they will have a “Jody Story” to
share. Jody had
the ability to leave each one of us with the feeling
that we were
special to him, and in each of our hearts Jody has a
special place
that will never be forgotten.
