<div>Michael Adam Milam, a well-known figure in Houston’s LGBTQ community and a longtime Montrose bartender, was killed in a hit-and-run crash in the early hours of Saturday, July 12, in New Orleans. He was riding his bicycle home from work when he was struck.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Milam had recently returned to New Orleans, a city he loved, to continue his bartending career in the heart of the French Quarter’s LGBTQ community. Though he had been back only a short time, his presence was already being felt by colleagues and patrons alike.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Since 2014, he regularly volunteered with PFLAG, offering his bartending talents for numerous fundraisers and events. He was also an active member of Houston Gaymers, a group for LGBTQ video game enthusiasts. What began as volunteer bartending at their meetups eventually evolved into a standing partnership, with the group hosting its monthly gatherings at Buddy’s—a collaboration made possible through Milam’s initiative and support.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Friends and colleagues say his advocacy and behind-the-scenes efforts quietly but powerfully strengthened the community he served.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Milam is survived by his older brother, Jeffry Faircloth of Houston, also a member of Houston’s LGBTQ community; sisters Hollie Faircloth of Idaho, Tiffany Gragg of New Orleans, Brittany Milam of Canyon, Texas, and Brandi Milam of Colorado; and his father and stepmother, Randy and Tara Milam of Houston. He was preceded in death by his mother, Dawne Engelke, who died in 2014 in Salado, Texas.

</div>

</div>

<div>Adam, as he was lovingly known by close family and friends was a bright light to anyone he met, he never knew a stranger. We are raising funds to give him a memorial service in his hometown for his family to say their final goodbyes. Anything helps. Thank you so much
