Obituary for Carroll Thomas Adams
TOMMY ADAMS, A MAN WHO FELT WITH HIS FINGERS.
Carroll "Tommy" Thomas Adams, 82 of Sparta, Tennessee, passed from this life on Sunday, January 24, 2021, at Cookeville Regional Medical Center in Cookeville, Tennessee.
Born Tuesday, October 4, 1938 in Science Hill, Kentucky, he was the son of the late Fred Adams and the late Dorothy Roberts Adams . He was the loving husband of Mary Loggins Adams for 63 looooong, glorious years.
Tommy told his wife he loved her 4 times in his life...once when they married, second and third resulted in their loving children, and the fourth time was once when she made him biscuits and gravy. He was a loving father to his second child...although his first child and he made up in the end. He enjoyed playing cards (although he cheated a lot), winning too many times. He adored his daughter Lisa and enjoyed watching and video taping every game she played (including everything she did). EVERY. THING. SHE. DID! Dad taught his least favorite child (Nick), the love and appreciation for fine weaponry and wood working. (He still feels cheated).
But seriously, he was deeply loved and was a great husband and father. He will be greatly missed.
In addition to his wife Mary, he is survived by:
1 son: (that we know of)
Nick (Debbie) Adams of Midland, TX
