PAULDING:
Den Adams, age 70, left this earth to go to be in his Heavenly home on Friday, November 29, 2013.
He was born December 6, 1942 in Jeremiah, Kentucky, the son of Arthur and Helmer (Thompson) Adams. On August 31, 1962 he married Judith A. Commers who survives. He was a charter member of Paulding EMS; a Paulding County Sheriff Dept. deputy; lieutenant for the Paulding Policy Reserves; and employed by Johns Manville.
But his greatest triumph was receiving Jesus Christ as his Savior and serving the Lord. His relationship with God was what he held most near and dear to his heart. He witnessed to many people and openly professed how the Lord had healed him of cancer twice. He loved everybody and enjoyed taking any opportunity to ask them if they knew Jesus. He also loved taking his ’67 GTO to car shows and cruz-in’s at the Vagabond Village. Den was a man of strength, integrity, conviction and piety who loved his family more than anything else in the world. His family is very proud of him and he truly was “Blessed coming in and blessed going out”- Deuteronomy 28:6.
He is survived by his wife, Judith A. Adams; three children, Dennis (Lana) Adams, John Adams, and Tracy (Paul) Roddy, all of Paulding; five brothers, Alfred Adams, Isom, KY, Bill (Louise) Adams, Jeremiah, KY, Bud (Christine) Adams, Paulding, J.R. Adams, and Tony (Linda) Adams, both of Letcher, KY; four sisters: Janet (Roger) Hill, Hazard, KY, Debbie (Woody) Adams, Jeremiah, KY, Maggie Adams, Somerset, KY, and Tammy Adams, Jenkins, KY; six grandchildren: Sheri (Nate) Rhonehouse, Kelsey (Kyle) Kauser, Maycee, Madison and Bailey Adams, and Jack Roddy; and five great grandchildren: Ethan, Weston, and Landen Rhonehouse, Charlotte Kauser and one on the way.
He is preceded in death by his parents; a brother, Shannon Adams; and three sisters, Geneva Adams, Reneva Hayes, and Anis Adams.
Funeral services will be conducted 11 AM Saturday, December 7 at Den Herder Funeral Home, Paulding. Burial will follow in Paulding Memorial Cemetery.
Visitation will be 2-8PM Friday, December 6 and one hour prior to services on Saturday at Den Herder Funeral Home.
