On May 19th, just five days before his 33rd birthday, we lost Adam Ramey—beloved husband, father, son, and lead vocalist of Dropout Kings—to suicide after a long and painful battle with addiction.

Adam wasn’t just my brother-in-law. He was like a real brother to me. He saved my life during one of my darkest times and always showed up for the people he loved. He brought life and energy to every room, every family gathering, and every stage he stepped on. Watching him perform—especially at local shows in Phoenix or when he came to Tampa—was unforgettable.

Adam loved deeply. He was a devoted husband to my 29-year-old sister, Jamie, and a proud father to their 18-month-old son, Jude. He was also an incredible uncle, friend, and human being. 

Now Jamie is left grieving the love of her life while raising their baby boy alone. She’s facing not only unimaginable heartbreak but also the financial weight of funeral expenses and legal costs.

We’re asking for your help to raise $50,000 to support Jamie and Jude.

Funds will go toward:

• Funeral and memorial expenses

• Immediate financial support for Jamie

• A college fund for Jude, to honor Adam’s memory and legacy

If you can give, even a little, it would mean so much. And if not, please share this story. Let’s surround Jamie and Jude with the same love Adam gave so freely to others.

Service will be held 6/7 the location is TBD. Check social media for updates. 

Thank you for helping us carry this burden.

With love,

Jamie Varner
