A Celebration of Life will be held Monday, June 23 at 4:00 p.m. at Memorial Funeral Home with a visitation from 2:00 p.m until time of service.
Adam never complained about the hardships dealt in his life, but he always showed others how to deal with the hardships. He had a unique love for life and dedication to his family and friends; a love for the culinary arts and a passion for music. He loved attending concerts and was a huge Mizzou Football fan, and enjoyed Cardinal baseball.
Adam is survived by his mother, Tammi Miller; a second mother, Janice Kite; grandmother, Shirley Neimeyer; and two brothers, Danton Scott and Shaun Rottman.

I remember Adam from RBHS. He was a lovely young man that was admired by all. My hope is that all who knew him will know he is at rest with our Lord in Heaven.

Unfortunately, I never had the pleasure of meeting this outstanding young man. It was through his mother I learned of his unique, highly motivational and inspiring life that served as a shining example to others, in so many ways. I know little of the details of his life, but know enough to realize that those who knew Adam were fortunate and blessed to have been able to do so and were better off for having known him. There are people in this world that make a lasting impression for good on those whom they meet; I have no doubt that Adam was one of those rare and special people. May God bless his mother and other family members in this time of sorrow and give them peace in knowing that Adam is truly with the Lord in heaven and free of his earthly physical limitations. C.

Adam touched many lives with his smile and sense of humor. I was one of Adam's teachers at RBHS and he always came to school in a good mood and a positive attitude! My sincerest sympathy to all of Adam's family and caregivers. May you find peace and comfort in his memory and promise of eternal life. The night sky certainly has a bright star shining as Adam's soul was received in heaven.

I am so sorry to hear of Adam's passing. I was one of Adam's nurses in the hospital since he was an infant. As he grew older I was one of his IV Nurses. He was such a joy an delight to care for. Heaven truly gained another angel!!!

Adam was a great friend and classmate and if he needed help with something in school he would ask for help. I remember a good time when me and him were celebrating one of his birthdays riding in a limo together and I have known Adam for a long time. it will be hard for me to not to be able to talk to him like I used to
