Jack Ray Adams, Jr. 54, from St. Louis, Missouri, passed away suddenly on June 23, 2025.
He was the son of the late Jack Adams, Sr. and Jerrianne Adams (Proemsey). He graduated from Bishop DuBourg High School in 1988 and went on to be a business owner.
Jack is survived by his children, Destiny (Alex) and Jack, his grandsons Oliver and Jack. His siblings, Rick, Michael (Jeanne), Janice (Jim), Jim (Pam), Lisa (Scott). He was preceded in death by his father, Jack Sr. the mother of his children, Tina Kavadas, and his sister, Donna and brother, Dennis. Jack loved his kids and grandsons more than anything! He was an incredible father, but he may have enjoyed being “Pops” even more. The youngest of eight, he was the kind of brother everyone hopes for. He was loving, loyal, and full of heart. He always said “it is what it is”, and what it was, was a life lived on his terms, full of love, laughter, and finally, peace.
Visitation will be held Wednesday July 2, 2025 at Michel Funeral Home located at 5930 Southwest Ave., St. Louis, MO 63139 from 4-8 p.m, with a closing service following immediately after.
In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to Esophageal Cancer Action Network 17 West Water Street Muncy PA 17756 or Cancer Hope Network 2 North Rd. Suite A Chester NJ 07930
