Kevin Devere Adam, 68, passed away on Saturday, March 28, 2026. Born in Fort Wayne, Indiana, Kevin was a son of the late Loren and Jacqueline (Stouder) Adam.
Kevin married the love of his life, Pamela on July 7, 1982. They had a strong loving marriage until her passing in 2015.
Kevin graduated from Elmhurst High School and went on to proudly serve his country in the United States Army. During his service, he was a member of the 2nd Armored Division, “Hell on Wheels,” and attained the rank of Sergeant.
During his working years, Kevin was employed by Siefert’s before beginning a career with the United States Postal Service, where he worked in maintenance. Kevin had a natural gift for mechanics and could fix just about anything. He also had a passion for computers, whether building them or spending time working on them, along with a passion for Ham Radio.
Kevin enjoyed taking care of his yard and especially took pride in keeping it well maintained—mowing the lawn was one of his favorite pastimes. Those who knew Kevin would describe him as stoic, relentless, and genuine. Despite his tough exterior, he had a well-known sweet tooth and could often be found enjoying Sam’s Club cookies or a Hershey bar.
He is survived by his children, Kimberly Adam, Robert (Carrie) Adam, Andrew (Tabitha) Adam;10 grandchildren; 4 great-grandchildren, with two more on the way; and his siblings, Kristina (Jim) Sayler-Adam, Karen (Pat) Garrett, Kerry Adam, Kyle Adam, and Kenny Adam.
