Dear Editor,
This is written in memory of J.R. Adams, a 17-year-old former Morgan Hill teen who was killed in a hit-and-run traffic accident in Cancun, Mexico.
Ode to J.R.
He was his father’s son Same name, same face Same great personality Same unforgettable smile And knack for humor. Tall and handsome, He was the epitome of A gifted athlete Built with determination And a father’s devotion. He had a promising future; Now, he’s in God’s hands Away from pain and disappointment Surrounded by happiness, Loved and held by the Father For eternity and beyond, But cherished forever By his dad who poured
His heart and soul into Making him the finest young man Anyone would ever want to meet. It makes no sense why God Always takes the best But when he got JR, He won the jackpot. While JR’s absence leaves a Hole in our hearts, The emptiness will be filled With sweet memories Of a loving brother to his Three adoring siblings Of a devoted son to his Proud dad, stepmom, and mom Of a loyal friend to Teens from San Jose to Gilroy Of a leader to his Teammates at Valley Christian. His spirit will live on
In the jokes you tell
In the plays made on the field
In his sister’s hugs good night
In Quillan’s emulation
In the athletes
KC continues to groom.
Fond thoughts of JR will inspire
Rather than defeat
As he leaves a legacy
Of good sportsmanship
Of good sportsmanship
Of hard work.
Though not wealthy in money,
JR was rich in love;
While not everything came easily,
He achieved through resolve.
JR would want to be remembered
With joy and gratitude….
He seized life as if there were
No tomorrow –
And today…
Though we must live without him
In the flesh,
We should take comfort
In the eternal peace he has found
And the memories he has left behind.
We celebrate a life that was
Short but well-lived,
That left an indelible impression
On all who knew him,
That was nurtured and exalted
By his family and friends,
That will never be forgotten
And will survive through
All who loved and
Treasured him.
Brooke Bailey, Morgan Hill
