My name is Brianne Massman, and on behalf of our family, I want to thank everyone for the incredible love and support we have received from family, friends, and communities far and wide. Our son Adam died on Saturday, August 22, 2026, after contact during a football game on Thursday, August 20th. Adam was 17. Adam was so much more than an athlete. He was a cattle showman, a football, baseball, and track athlete, a son, a brother, and an amazing friend. He touched so many lives with his hard work, heart, and the way he showed up for others. My husband Brian, son Brett, and I are grieving a loss that is impossible to put into words.

So many have reached out looking for ways to support, so we created this account for you to do so. This fundraiser will help support our family through this tragedy and pay it forward in a way that helps uplift others in Adam’s memory. Your support will help carry us through the difficult days ahead and remind us that we are not walking through this alone. If you are able to give, please know that every act of kindness means so much to us. We also hope this wave of connection and unity will continue to ripple for a long time to come: be a good friend, work hard, and never give up hope. If Adam touched your life, we would love to hear your memories, messages, and stories—please share.
