Daniel R. Adams, 63, of Jackson, Michigan was taken from his adoring family unexpectedly way too soon on Sunday, March 29th at his home.
He was the son of Ken and Irma Adams. Born July 30, 1956 in Tecumseh, Michigan. Daniel is survived by his loving wife of 40 years; Darcy, who will be lost without him. He is also survived by his father, Ken Adams. He is a hero to his three daughters who idolized him; Michelle (Jason) Porter, Andrea Adams, and Ashlee (Chad) Sanford. He will be forever Opa to his five grandchildren who cherished him; Jaxon, Dru, and Bailee Porter and Kent and Kendyl Sanford. He leaves behind two sisters Laura Smith, Connie Raper, and sister-in-law Sherry (Ed) Piper; several aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews, and cousins. He was preceded in death by his mother, Irma Adams and his father and mother-in-law, Gordon and Beverly Kent.
He was a dedicated and hard-working employee for Kent Motors Inc. since 1976 before he and Darcy purchased the business in 1994 (from Gordon and Beverly Kent) and retired in 2017. Dan and Darcy were members of the Fraternal Order of Eagles in Michigan Center #3634. He enjoyed spending time with his family, attending his grand children’s sporting events and playing Keno with his loving wife, Darcy. Dan and Darcy were inseparable and enjoyed special times spent in Charlevoix, MI and Daytona Beach, FL.
A private family service will be held. Interment at Hillcrest Memorial Park. The service will be recorded and available for viewing at watson-funeral-chapels.com. Darcy would like you to take a moment to cherish time with your family, not take anything for granted, and count each day as a blessing.
We say goodbye to a devoted husband, father, and grandfather. His time with us wasn’t long enough, but we will cherish every moment we shared with him. He was loved and admired by all who knew him. He will be dearly missed, but will live on in our hearts forever.
