He loved being surrounded by family and friends and was known for his great sense of humor, and the ability to put a smile on anyone's face. He never met a stranger. Melvin loved fishing, and was a true blue Colts fan.

He leaves to forever cherish his memory his Life Partner Maria Shores, his daughter Melanie Fisher Ward Morton (husband Randy) Muncie, his son Michael Adams Sr, Muncie and his step-sons Charles Hobbs (wife Aleia) Lynn Haven Florida, and Michael Shores (wife Lexi), Muncie. Melvin was a faithful brother to Two brothers H.J Hendrix of Dequeen, James Bennett (wife Maria) New York, five sisters Willie Belle Bowers of Dequeen, Betty Neal of Ashdown, Arkansas, Rita Bennett of Broken Bow Oklahoma, Floy Armstrong (Brian), of Valliant, Oklahoma, Gloria Bennett of Dequeen; his grandchildren Logan, Robert (Boogie), Savannah, Dakota, Zoey, Damian, MaryAnn, Jacob, Jesse, Brooklynn, Ray, Ian, Michael Adams Jr. Arianna, Cheyenne, Haley, Mazon, Michael Shores Jr. Sujuan, Jaisyn, Jonathon, and Julian.
