| Dejuan Lamar Adams Sunrise ~ May 9, 2002 Sunset ~ June 21, 2006 |
Dejuan Lamar Adams, Jr. (D.J.) was born May 9th 2002, to Sharee Singleton and Dejuan
Lamar Adams Sr. in St. Louis, Missouri. D.J. loved to go to church. He was a 4-yr. old
member of Memorial CME Church where he sang in the children's choir and attended
Sunday school regularly. He loved Jesus with his whole heart. He attended Grace Lutheran
Pre-School where he had many friends and wonderful teachers. D.J. was a very lively and
charming young child who touched the hearts of all who knew him. He loved to play and
have big fun. Jumping, running, and climbing were some of his favorite activities. Most of all
he loved to play with motorcycles and cars. He especially loved driving his little red
convertible Corvette.
D.J.'s favorite songs to sing each day were "Get Excited!" and "Jesus Died on Calvary". In
the mornings he would sing "Get Excited, Get Excited, Get Excited to see what God has
done!" Later, though out the day, you would hear him singing his other favorite song "Jesus
died on Calvary to save a wretch like you and me. That's wove, that's wove! They hung him
high, they stretched him wide, he hung his head, for me he died. That's wove. But that's not
how the story ends, three short days he rose again. That's wove, that's wove!" He
pronounced some words that begin with "L" as "W".
D.J. always made excuses to avoid going to sleep at his bedtime, such as I gotta to go to the
bathroom". Or he would beg his Grandma Ann to read his favorite books about Dinosaurs,
Clifford the Big Red Dog, and animals over and over again.
He was known for having the "coolest" toys in town, and for throwing the best birthday
bashes. His favorite foods were Oatmeal, White Castles (no pickles, no onions), which he
loved to order through the drive-thru window, and birthday cake with lots of icing. D.J. loved
his mom and his Dad, his Grandma Ann and his Papa Carl and Tee-Tee Adrienne dearly.
Everyone who knew him personally or in passing always had a story to tell about their
experience with D.J. He always shared his love with everyone and was truly a blessing sent
from God.
He leaves to celebrate his life and cherish his memory, his loving and devoted mother
Sharee Singleton; his father Dejuan Lamar Adams, Sr.; two brothers, Lyndon Adams and
Braxton Adams; two sisters, Brittanee Adams and Aliyah Adams; his wonderful grandparents,
Angela and Carl Fox; his grandparent, Sharon Adams (Robert Adams, who preceded him in
death); his great-grandmother, Guster Singleton; two aunts, Adrienne Ray and Shavette
Clinton; two uncles, Erick Adams and Larry Johnson; his cousin and best friend, Deaven
E.S. Crigler; and a host of aunts ,uncles, cousins, friends and countless other who loved him
dearly.

| Sweet Little Man (Written for D.J. by Tracy) From the very first moment you opened your eyes, Each of us knew God had sent a miracle ... so loving and wise. Your big brown eyes showed a beautiful soul, So loving and sweet we will never let go. This sweet little man taught so many so much, About life, laughter, love ... and the wonders of touch. His heart is so big for such a young gentle soul, His loss, on his loved ones is taking its toll. This sweet little man was taken before he grew old, But his loving memories will never grow cold. So remember always while shedding your tears, He is safely in your hearts for all of your years. |
