John C. Adams, age 67 of Fredericksburg Virginia, formerly of Marcellus, MI passed away Friday, August 8, 2014 as a result of injuries sustained in a bicycling accident in Kalamazoo, Michigan.

He was born December 8, 1946 Dowagiac, MI, the son of Uriah M. and Clarice A. (Nemmers) Adams. On September 4, 1982 he married Patricia Keddell who survives.

He was a mechanical engineer who had previously worked in the Warheads Branch at the Naval Surface Warfare Center in Dahlgren, VA, and with other government contractors, until his retirement from Booz Allen Hamilton earlier this year. He was a expert handyman and accomplished woodworker in his spare time. John enjoyed hiking, downhill skiing and bicycling. He was also recognized by his many friends and colleagues as an expert on wines. John will be sorely missed by all who knew him.
