Nick Adams was 24 when he died and he died from kidney cancer on the 17th August 2007. He used to run a local pub called the MARS bar which he ran with his dad Symon Adams and his mum Sandi Adams. He lived in the flat above it he was lovely and had room in his heart for everyone. He was very kind and caring. It kills me to thing that someone so special who never did anything wrong could be took away from us so early in life.
The only thing that makes me feel better about Nick's death is that he touched so many people. We spent a lot of time raising money to get the drugs he need to keep him with us longer. Now we are raising money for Kidney Cancer UK and projects which were connected to his illness. Nick was very brave even when facing something that people a lot older than him can't cope with.
I know how much everyone misses him especially my mum and dad. He ment so much to so many people our grandparents who he was so close to and his friends especially storm and alex who spent so much time with him before and during his illness. My daughter Charlie will always know who her uncle was and how great he was. I'm just glad he got to see her before he died. I will always love Nick and I will never feel better about it but I'm just glad I've got the rest of my family to lean on.

Nick was my son and where do you start to try to tell anyone what that means to me.Unless you knew him you cant understand what kind of person he was.He was like a bright light that shone continually and drew everyone to him.Before he got the cancer he thought that life was for ever and he lived hard played hard and helped anyone he could.When we found out he was going to die i didnt know how we could carry on but he dealt with it like anything else he did by putting others first.No one can imagine what pain he went through as the disease progressed and ravaged every part of him but he fought for his life for our sakes.We were always close but in those last few months we spent more quality time than most people do in their whole lives and i will always be grateful for that time.He died the day after my birthday which i'm sure he was holding out for and he was in my arms when he slipped away.Words are not enough to say how much i miss him he was my rock and my best friend as well as my son but i know he is pain free now and that is more important than my loss so untill we meet again i will have to make do with memories of what a wonderful person he was my son nick
MY LAD
SYMON ADAMS (DAD)

I Thought of You Today
I thought of you with love today but that is nothing new
I thought about you yesterday and days before that too,
I think of you in silence I often speak your name
All I have are memories and your picture in a frame
Your memory is my keepsake with which I’ll never part
God has you in His keeping I have you in my heart.
Poem by Nicholas Gordon

My Friend Nick...
It has been a bit of time since your passing, Nick.
Words can not express the respect I have for you. Your courage was an inspiration to everyone who knew you and, perhaps, many you have never met.
Had the pleasure or knowing you and working with you and learning from you. You were the hardest worker I have ever seen and your future was so bright... your wonderful family did not deserve to loose you. We all did not deserve to loose you.
I sometimes buy "pink cake" from the bakery and think about you. Often I buy two... and pretend Im sharing it with you. I cry everytime.
I wont believe in god! I cannot trust a god who would take you! Why would god stop YOU from all you would achieve in your life! I hate god! It was not fair to you!
Nick, I miss you and think of you everyday.
Hi baby this is meant to be a happy new year message but I'm sorry it's late I have had a couple of bad weeks and havnt felt up to coming on.I know it's a poor excuse but I think it all caught up with me over Christmas and I felt as low as I ever have. I was even cross with you for me not being able to feel your presence when I really needed you I'm sorry I know you can't help it. We went on your pub on new years eve and it was so quiet nothing like when we had it new years eve was such a big event wasn't it I was quite pleased I really do miss the pub. Been having lots of crap at work again and I really don't need it but I know what your feelings wouldchave been on that one anyway I spose I'd better go now so love you loads and miss you so much bestest buddy love mum xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
