Kelly David "Sunny" Adams

Kelly David "Sunny" Adams, a beacon of unwavering love and generosity, departed from this world on January 31, 2024, at the age of 71. Born on December 19, 1952, in Thibodaux, LA, Sunny's radiant spirit was a gift to all who had the pleasure of crossing his path. He peacefully passed away in Livingston, TX, surrounded by the warmth of his family's love and the comfort of natural causes.

Sunny's life was a testament to courage and dedication. A proud Army veteran, he served his country with honor before taking to the roads as a truck driver, a profession that allowed him to touch lives across the nation. His commitment to service did not end with his military career; Sunny was an active member of the American Legion, where he continued to uplift and support his fellow servicemen and women.

He was the loving husband of Paula Adams, with whom he built a life rich in joy and shared purpose. Sunny was preceded in death by his wife, Becky Adams. Sunny was the cherished son of the late Joseph and Arizona "Cathy" Adams and a guiding light to his children, Cassie (Robert) Mathews, Kelly Adams Jr., Adam (Bethany) Adams, Sunny Adams and Katherine (Bryan) Savage. His legacy flourished through his grandchildren, Tylan Mathews, Courtland Delhomer, Alyssa Murphy, Serinity, Lacy, Troy Adams, and Athena Savage, and his great-grandchildren, Addison Murphy and Liam Camargo.

Sunny's passion for the great outdoors was evident to all who knew him. Hunting and fishing were not just hobbies but a way of connecting with nature and creating lasting memories with friends and family. His love for the environment was matched only by his generosity of spirit and the courageous way he approached life's challenges.

Those who knew Sunny would say he lived by the words of Ralph Waldo Emerson: "What lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters compared to what lies within us." Indeed, it was the strength and love within Sunny that illuminated the lives of those around him. His unwavering optimism, even in the face of adversity, inspired everyone he encountered.

Sunny was a man who loved deeply and was deeply loved in return. His presence was a source of comfort and joy, and his absence will be felt by many. Yet, the memories he created, the laughter he shared, and the wisdom he imparted will continue to resonate through the lives of his family, friends, and all those fortunate enough to have been touched by his luminous spirit.

As we say farewell to Kelly David "Sunny" Adams, we celebrate a life lived with an open heart and an indomitable spirit. We honor a man who was not just the patriarch of his family but also a friend, mentor, and hero to many. Sunny's journey through life reminds us that the true measure of a person is not in the wealth they accumulate or the accolades they receive, but in the love they give and the courage with which they face each new day.

To have known Sunny was to have known a slice of pure sunshine, and for that, we are all eternally grateful. Though he has set on his final horizon, the warmth of his love remains, guiding us like the sun that continues to rise, even after the darkest of nights. Rest in peace, Sunny. Your light will never fade.
