ROBERT GLEN ADAM JANUARY 6, 1959 – APRIL 26, 2026
Glen lived his life fully, with an open heart and a deep love for those around him. From a fearless and spirited boy, he grew into a man whose kindness, humor, and compassion touched everyone he met. Family was everything to him, and he cherished time spent laughing, visiting, and simply being together with those he loved. He carried a natural ability to connect, to share, and to offer wisdom drawn from his own life experiences. Glen had an adventurous soul, one that led him and his beloved wife to begin a new chapter abroad in his retirement years. He found joy in the simple and meaningful things—cooking, singing, storytelling, and sharing good food. His love of storytelling, a gift shared with his father, will be deeply missed by all who had the privilege of listening. Glen leaves behind a legacy carried forward by those who knew and loved him. He is lovingly remembered by his parents, John and Aldyne Adam; his wife of 29 years, Geraldine (Dene) Adam; and their five children: Christopher Lee Adam (Jaimie), Avery Adam (Jon) , Natasha Dawn McCartney (Dean), Scott Daniel Heil (Jennifer), and Michael Louis Heil (Donna). He will be deeply missed by his grandchildren: (Chris) Zachary, Rylie-Ann, and Elliot; (Avery) Carter; (Natasha) Ariel, Reanne, and Vayda; (Scott) Braiden and Daniel. He is also remembered with love by his sisters Kathy (Blair) and Carrie; his mother-in-law Vivian Leys; his brothers-in-law Bob (Alice), Alan (Mavis), and Bert (Donna); and his sister-in-law Laurie (Jules). Glen held a special place in the lives of Kathy’s daughters, Erin (Peter) and their children Thomas and Emily, and Lauren (Aaron). He is also remembered by Uncle Wally Wyer (John Tentindo), Aunt Shirley Ferguson, Aunt Marilyn Adam, along with countless cousins, nieces, nephews, and their children. A heartfelt acknowledgment is extended to the many friends who became family throughout his life abroad. Glen was predeceased by his maternal grandparents George and Edna Wyer; his paternal grandparents Wilbur (Wib) and Florence Adam; his great-nephew Lawrence Petho; his aunt Audrey Morrison; and his uncles Ken Adam, Herb Morrison, and Bob Ferguson. He was also predeceased by his fathers-in-law Gerald Head and Ken Leys, his nephew Jules, and his great-nephew Oliver. Glen’s presence, his laughter, his stories, and the love he gave so freely will continue to live on in the hearts of all who knew him. A celebration of Glen’s life will be held upon Dene’s return to Canada. Details will be shared at a later date. John and Aldyne respectfully ask for privacy at this time and are declining outside communication for condolences. They will need time to absorb this profound loss. Any messages may be shared through their daughters, Kathy and Carrie, or their daughter-in-law, Dene. Thank you for your understanding and care.
