Virgil Lee Adams passed away on June 3, 2023, at the age of 74, surrounded by family and loved ones.

From a young age, Virgil believed in hard work and unconditional love. He was Born on December 10th, 1948, in Indiana, and later, moved to Thomasville, Georgia. It was there that he met and married the love of his life, Rebecca. The two went on to have five children: Virgil Jr., Tracy, Sherry, Courtney, and Anthony. In 1985, the family made a forever home on beautiful Lake Harding in Lee County Alabama.

Virgil enjoyed life and truly lived every day as if it were his last. He found solace in nature and was an expert fisherman. Although he spent many days on lakes and ponds, his favorite pastime was, undoubtedly, being with his family. His family was his greatest accomplishment.

Virgil was preceded in death by his wife, Rebecca (2017); his parents, Ethel and Edward Adams; and his sisters, Sue and Rose. He is survived by his five children: Virgil Adams Jr. (Shannon), Tracy Adams Johnson (John), Sherry Adams New (Jake Forbus), Courtney Adams White (Chris), and Anthony Adams (Casey Hornsby); his nine grandchildren Devin (Ali), Caitlyn, Daniel, Landon, Matthew, Gunner, Fisher, Elaina, and Dallas; his two great-grandchildren, Finley and Avery; his close family members, Ricky, Donda, Dale, and Kay; his brothers and sisters; Robert, Donna, Mary, Johnny, and Bruce; and his sweetheart Becky Maloof (Jobie and son, Blair).
