Donald Ward Adams

   As a faithful husband and father, who overcame many obstacles in his life, Don and Carol raised their family in Ulysses, KS.  Don was a printer, by trade, including work at the Ulysses News and finished his career with 20 years as a Gasoline Plant Operator for Amoco.

   Don is survived by his three remaining sons:  Michael (Kathleen) Adams of Whitsett, NC; Gregory (Deborah) of Stillwater, OK; and Stephen (Danita) of Rolla, KS, fifteen (15) grandchildren and four (4) great-grandchildren.  He is also survived by his dear friend, Virginia McPike and many others who lovingly referred to him as Dad or Grandpa.

   After Carol’s passing, Don moved to Burlington, North Carolina in 2011.  He was a resident of Holiday Cedar Ridge independent living and shared his love for Jesus with the staff and fellow residents through his friendship, singing, and service.  He was a member of Harvest Baptist Church and served in the Celebrate Recovery and Food Pantry ministries.  He was also a member of the Gideons. 

   A service to celebrate his life will be held at 1:00pm on Friday, June 9, 2023 at Harvest Baptist Church by Dave Winstead. The family will receive friends from 11:30-12:45 prior to the service at the church and other times at his son, Mike’s home. A graveside service will take place at 11:00am on Tuesday, June 13, 2023 at Hugoton Cemetery in Hugoton, KS by Robson Funeral Home.

   In lieu of flowers, memorials may be made to Harvest Baptist Church Bread of Life Food Pantry, 3741 S. Church St, Burlington, NC 27215.
