Homer Adams was born to Luther M Adams and Sylvia née Osborn Adams on 18 March 1937 in Normantown.
He married Joy Lee Newlon on 3 August 1956 in Harrison County West Virginia, and they were married for 58 years until his passing.
Mr. Adams is survived by three children, seven grandchildren, eight great-grandchildren.
He was preceded in death by one son and one great-granddaughter.
In addition, he is survived by two brothers, John (Jean) Adams of Tipp City, OH, and Jim (Martha) Adams of Bowling Green, Missouri; and five sisters, Levina May (Jackie) McCray of Anmoore, WV, Wanda (Joni) Shreves of Adamston, WV, Virginia (Richard) Raikes of Shinnston, WV, JoAnn (Gene) Branson of Mooresville, NC, and Marilyn (Mickie) Huff of Anmoore, WV.
Homer was a self-made man. With only an 8th grade education, he went on to become one of the premier contractors in the area. For over 40 years he built homes in North Central West Virginia. He was in high demand as a home builder for the Briarwood and Shearwood developments in Bridgeport, WV. He taught his trade to both of his sons who, much to his dismay, became pastors instead.
He modeled a life of hard work and integrity and doing things right "the first time." He was quick to help those in need. After retirement, he enjoyed volunteering at World Vision in Philippi, West Virginia. His greatest passions were working and driving, both of which he did in great abundance. He will be greatly missed by all, but his legacy will live on in the homes he built and the character he deposited into his children.
A funeral service was held on Monday, Aug. 18, 2014, at 11 a.m. with his grandson, Jason Adams, officiating.
The family would like to express their gratitude to Genesis Health Care and Hospice for their kind care in his last days.
As you know, Homer thought that flowers were a waste of money, so in lieu of flowers please make donations to World Vision or the Alzheimer's Association.
