Felix Molton Adams II, 52, went to meet the Lord on Thursday, Jan. 11, 2024, and was greeted in

Heaven by his brother, his grandparents and his Uncle Charles.

Felix was born on Sunday, Jan. 2, 1972, in Tallahassee Memorial Hospital. His proud parents were Felix M. Adams and Ellen Gainey Adams.

His family roots ran deep in Perry, Taylor County, Florida. As a young lad, he was his Granddaddy Adams’ sidekick. Like his dad, he often worked and played along the banks of the upper Fenholloway River, which flowed adjacent to the Adams’ old homestead.

The river was where he was baptized at age 8 after he accepted Jesus Christ as his personal Savior.

The Fenholloway River was deeply significant to him.

His formative education was completed at Taylor County Elementary School, North Florida Christian School in Tallahassee, Cardinal Gibbons High School in Fort Lauderdale and Sumter High School in Bushnell.

At North Florida Christian, he was a drummer in the band and it was where he reaffirmed his

faith in Jesus Christ.

At Sumter High, he played football and graduated in 1990.

He began his college career at Tallahassee Community College and worked several jobs.

Recognizing his desire for a faster pace, he enrolled at “Lively” Technical College in Tallahassee and landed on a career path that was just right.

As a teen he developed a great interest in the utilization of computers, but more importantly it was the creativity and the increased challenges of intelligence that captured his attention.

Building on that interest and his talents, he completed in record time the computer technology and programing studies at Lively.

As “head of the class,” he offered assistance to his classmates and he was a distinguished graduate. He found his niche.

The vo-tech certification started all engines on “go” and launched him into a successful career conducting data conversion, data migration and database management that lasted more than 30 years.

Regarding his personal life, his family was his core of strength and his friends were friends for life.

He was an avid reader of fictional novels and a variety of nonfiction writings. He enjoyed all types of music. He enjoyed critiquing action, science fiction, thriller/mystery and historical movies.

He was proud to have scored a Hole-in-One at SouthWood Golf Club. He was an avid lifelong Florida Gator fan.
