In Memory of Adam: Support for Olive and Kasey

The collective outpouring of deep grief, sincere love and fond memories being shared in reaction to the passing of Adam Patterson confirms what everyone felt individually: he had a little something extra special stamped into his being. That indefinable something rubbed off on anyone who merely entered his brilliant orbit, and left them better for it.

Through his passion and wild talent for music, Adam created a community that is far-reaching, rippling and everlasting. You couldn’t witness him perform without being changed by the true gift he gave, which was, frankly, every little bit of himself. Some artists have star power and stage presence… Adam had soul power and soul presence.

It’s clear that Adam’s legacy will be remembered and nurtured far into the future. In the days ahead, those who loved him dearly will rely on each other to get them through the hardest moments. As a father, Adam loved Olive with his entire heart and then some more. We know that his biggest hope would be that she is taken care of and supported by those who loved him. Please share what you can to help Olive and her loving mom, Kasey, as they navigate these troubled waters. And remember Adam’s incredible smile with love.
