Adam Paul Schrock, 15, of Owensboro died Wednesday, January 20, 2021 at Norton Children’s Hospital. Adam was born on May 18, 2005 in Owensboro. He was a freshman at Daviess County High School and attended First Baptist Church. Adam accomplished many things in his short time on Earth. He battled Myotonic Dystrophy and met many obstacles and faced them with a sense of determination and grace. Adam had a great appreciation for life and enjoyed the simple things. His favorite things to do were going on adventures in the car, especially to get “a snack”, going to Cheetah Clean Car Wash, or stopping anywhere that he saw a bulldozer, dump truck, or a John Deere. He loved shopping with his family but rarely requested anything as he was happy with a sack with a store’s logo. Adam was gifted at sensing when someone needed a smile and a simple expression of love and was known for saying what others had to be thinking and was cleverly tactful in his efforts to get away with it. Adam loved going to Dream Riders of Kentucky and was also a part of Wendell Foster Outpatient Therapy programs. His greatest joy in life was music and he enjoyed all types from conducting with the symphony and at church, riding in the car enjoying classic rock and roll or bluegrass junction, and the Saturday Night Dance Party. Adam was the purest soul who loved fiercely, never complained, and was a perfect example of how to live each day so that it could be the best day of your life.
Survivors include his parents, Allison Simmons Schrock and Bryan Schrock; the best big sister in the world, Abigail Lane Schrock; grandparents, Fred “Freddy” Simmons, Vivian “The Mimi” Simmons Cripps, and “Grandma” Ruby Schrock; an uncle, Levy (Susan) Schrock; aunt, Cindy Keen Simmons; and several cousins that he enjoyed playing with and who loved him very much.
