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
