Brad Adams

July 11, 1980 ~ February 26, 2025
Thomas Bradley “Brad” Adams, 44, a beloved husband, father, son, and friend, died suddenly on February 26, 2025. Born on July 11, 1980, in Danville, Kentucky, to Sheila Robertson Adams and the late Thomas Michael Adams. Along with his father, he was preceded in death by his brother Michael Aaron Adams.
Brad graduated from Danville High School in 1998, where he showcased his passion for sports as a dedicated member of the baseball team, playing throughout his four years as a catcher. He further pursued his education at Eastern Kentucky University, obtaining a Bachelor’s Degree. His law enforcement and corrections career began at the Boyle County Jail, and included Northpoint Training Center, Marion Adjustment Center, Boyle County Volunteer Fire Department and most recently as the Administrative Branch Manager for Programs of Adult Institutions.
Brad was known for his love of the outdoors, often spending his free time hiking and enjoying nature. A lifelong fan of all UK sports, he celebrated the victories and enthusiastically shared the challenges of his favorite teams. He cherished the time spent playing Madden with his son, Gabe, creating lifelong memories through their shared interests. He was a member of the Danville Church of God.
He is survived by his wife, Amanda Miller Adams; his mother, Sheila Adams; his children Abigail Adams and Gabe Adams; his brother, Brian Adams; and his cherished extended family of aunts, uncles, cousins, nieces, nephews, and in-laws. Brad’s kindness and warm spirit touched the lives of all who knew him, and he will be deeply missed.
Visitation will be from 3 – 7 p.m., Wednesday, March 5, 2025, at Danville Church of God. The funeral service will be at 1 p.m., Thursday, March 6, 2025, at Danville Church of God with Rev. Bryan Montgomery officiating.
The burial will be in Bellevue Cemetery.
I ran into Brad last November in Perryville with his wife. We had not crossed paths in years and only spoke on social media. Nothing had changed. We talked about typical nonsense (sports and such). He brought up his kids and was very proud of them and their accomplishments. Brad was always good to me from 5th grade all the way until we graduated high school together. The guy loved baseball and that was our common ground from all the way back then. I hurt for his mother, brother, wife, and kids. God Bless you all.
I’m so sorry for your Loss…
Praying for God’s Peace to Comfort Your Family…
Rest easy friend.
My love to Sheila, my sweet cousin💕
He was a great man sorry for your loss.
I am saddened to hear of Brad’s passing. He was a great person who loved life, family and friends. My fondest memory with Brad was him introducing me to Captain Jack’s Hotdog Emporium. Whenever I was in Danville I would meet Brad there for lunch. We both loved hotdogs. I’m sure he is resting in peace.
I worked with Brad at Northpoint when he worked out of Central Office and as Deputy Warden. He was always friendly and respectful. I know he will be missed. Prayers for his family.
Our thoughts and prayers are with you during this time.
Sheila my prayers are with you and the family May God comfort you
