Truly the Good Die Young - Dedicated to Adam Peters

I'm sitting here realizing yet again the sad, heartbreaking truth that death comes with. Another great person taken too early from this life. Today I lost a great friend by the name of Adam Peters. What he died from isn't what's important, what's important is that he was one of the most sincere, kind, honest, and just down right genuine people I ever met.  Adam knew how to make you laugh when you were sad or crack a funny joke when there was tension in the air. Everyone loved having him around and if you didn't, well then fuck you cause he didn't care.  Everyone had a special bond with Adam, whether you knew him really well or if you just met at a party, Adam touched your life in a way you never forget. I remember one of the greatest times I had with Adam was when he decided to throw like a weekend long party at his house. I know that sounds lame saying it was a good time cause it was a party but the best time was the day after the first night of partying Adam and all of us went to the beach and just spent the day there being crazy and having fun. We had a very random yet large friend group but everyone really cared for everyone and there was a bond made with all of us that can never be broken, not even by death. My heart breaks for Adams family because they are really great people! He was the spitting image of his older brother Ryan and shared the same attitude as his younger sister Amanda. Ryan, Adam and Amanda had a amazing sibling bond that everyone could sense right away. Kinda like you knew right away that you don't mess with the Peters family. My heart also breaks for my friend and Adams long time girlfriend Nicole. Nicole and Adam have been together as long as I can remember. They have a love so strong that nothing could break them...I mean they made it through freaking high school and college! Now that's saying something. They were always a fun loving couple that everyone enjoyed being around. I'm not sure if Nicole with get to read this but if you do Nicole know that I am truly sorry for your loss and if you need anything at all I am here for you as are a ton of other people. Adam had so much great potential and it breaks my heart to know he will never get to fully live up to it. But I feel blessed that I got the chance to know him and call him a friend. He always had a big smile and the goofiest laugh that just made you want to laugh. Adam I hope you know how many lives you truly touched with your amazing personality and kind heart. You are loved by so many and missed by even more. I won't say goodbye because I don't feel like death necessarily means we will never meet again. I think it just means that your time in this life was complete and you've moved on to the next life where I hope to meet you again. So I won't say goodbye but rather see you later. You will forever be in my heart as one of the greatest friends I ever had. Love you Adam.
