Andrew Nicholas Adams, Lawrence, was born at rest on June 22, 2018. A private memorial service will take place at a later date. Although he did not take a breath, Andrew was so very sweet and is so very loved.
Andrew is the son of Nick and Lauren Adams, and he is the baby brother of Hudson (6.5) and Colby (3.5). Andrew is the grandson of Leonard “Butch” Adams and Judy Adams, Lawrence, Terry Wilkinson, Lawrence, and Mark Wilkinson, Louisville, Kentucky, and he is the great-grandson of Joan Wilkinson, Tryon, North Carolina. Andrew is the nephew of Tim and Jenny Laird, Lawrence, Claire Wilkinson and Aaron Stehman, Lawrence, and Lisa Wilkinson and Dave Eagle, Melbourne, Australia, and he is the cousin of Arlo Stehman, Fiona Stehman, Baby Stehman, Indigo Eagle, Ryan Laird, Alyssa Laird, and Brianna Laird. He is loved and remembered by many, many other family members and friends.
Andrew’s life was short due to complications from Trisomy 9; however, his impacts were great. He showed his parents and brothers that they have an unbelievable support system and community, and he also reminded them of the great impact that acts of kindness can have on others. They will always be grateful for their moments with Andrew during Lauren’s pregnancy.
Andrew’s family would especially like to thank Dr. Larisa Kimuri and Crystal Dwyer of Lawrence Family Medicine & Obstetrics, and the doctors, nurses, and other staff of KU Medical Center.
A tree will be planted in memory of Andrew at the Lawrence Rotary Arboretum. Donations in Andrew’s name may be made to the Lawrence Parks and Recreation’s Wee Folks Scholarship Fund, sent in care of Rumsey-Yost Funeral Home.
