With broken hearts the family of Kenneth Wayne Adams announce his peaceful passing March 13, 2024 at the age of 74 at his home in Blue Point overlooking the lake after a courageous battle with cancer. He leaves behind his loving spouse Pat Stark, his much adored children Katie and Devin McArthur, Jesse Adams, Jeremy Stark and Jason Stark. His cherished grandchildren Emmett, Henry, Millie, Lukas, Lydia, Kennady and Elliot. His sister Diane (Steve) Reed and many nieces and nephews. His many friends who were there for support and many laughs in the garage, Tim Ross and Jack Boyle along with many more. We thank you. His brother-in-law Brian (Karen) Zavitz and sister-in-law Judy (Brent) Widdifield.
Predeceased by his parents Allan and Evelyn Adams, his brother Dick (Donna) Adams, nephew Brian Adams, many aunts and uncles and many dear friends. Ken was a proud member of the Masonic and Shrine Lodge for 40+ years. A millwright by trade working in many industries from Sarnia to Douglas Point. Farming and horses kept Ken busy in Oakdale most of his life. Kens love of cars and motorcycles brought him a lifetime of pleasure in the fast lane and hours with friends in the garage. Ken took great pride and pleasure in his lake house caring for the yard and his projects on the bank and beach which his family will always enjoy.
Ken wanted to end his journey at Blue Point looking at the lake and working in the garage on his cars. We are honoured to be able to fulfill his wishes and thank the Palliative home care team for their support. Patty and team thank you for bringing Ken and us some laughter and needed encouragement. We couldn't have given him this last gift without you.
Ken's motto "One day at a time" and Tim Ross's "Keep on smiling" made our sadness bearable.
In further honouring Ken's wishes, there will be no funeral but rather a Celebration of Ken's life at a future date in Blue Point. Arrangements entrusted to Smith Funeral Home, 1576 London Line, Sarnia. Donations in memory of Ken can be made to the Canadian Cancer Society.
