His most cherished memories were the birth of his

daughter, Breanne Phelps, and countless moments

spent with loved ones, whether sharing his latest

jokes or playing games together. He had a special

bond with Breanne through their shared love of

Star Wars, his favorite movie series, and was fond

of Dukes of Hazzard. An avid RC car builder and

enthusiast, Adam found joy in crafting and driving

his custom creations, a passion that reflected his

creativity and dedication in everything he did.

stepbrother Travis (Amber) Lloyd, numerous aunts,

uncles, cousins, and girlfriend Mel Buno. Adam was
