Lucas Adair

God blessed Jim and Lisa Adair on June 26, 1987, in Fort Worth,
Texas, with a beautiful healthy baby boy. He was given the name of
Lucas Wade Adair. The meaning of the name Lucas is Light. He was
definitely a bright light in our lives and of many others.
He was raised in Arlington, Texas. He attended schools in Mansfield
ISD, and Kennedale ISD, until the middle school grades, where he
attended Arlington Faith Academy under the instruction of Rita Pickett
and Charlotte McClendon for 2 years. Mrs. Pickett was an inspirational
woman who shared the gospel freely with Luke and her other students.
He thoroughly enjoyed and learned many things including life lessons
which influenced his life.
Also during his young years he loved baseball, football and golf.
He later attended Kennedale High School where he graduated in 2006.
He was a member of the Varsity Baseball and Football teams which
he dearly loved and cherished throughout his life.
After High School, he worked in several places, including, Mansfield
ISD Transportation, Primerica Financial Services, and Quick Trip. He
worked with many great people who he thought highly of and who
many felt brightened their life along the way.
Luke was diagnosed with Tourette Syndrome at an early age and often
struggled as a young child with those issues. One of the ways he began
to cope, was to make jokes about the tics. This was probably the
beginning of his comical time. He loved to make his family and friends
laugh with silly pranks and comedic behavior. Nearly anyone who
knew him probably has a story to tell.
He loved his family and friends who meant a lot to him and had a real
desire to share his love and life with them. He will be dearly missed
and in our hearts forever.
He was preceded in death by grandfathers, Richard R. Adair, and
Vernon L. Wright.
