It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Philip Herbert Adams, age 74, who departed this world on September 20, 2024. Philip left behind a legacy of creativity, faithfulness, and fruitfulness for his family and friends.
Born and raised in Thomasville, Georgia, Philip graduated from Central High School in 1968, and attended Ferris State University in Michigan, earning an ASE certification from the National Institute for Automotive Excellence in 1979. He owned and operated Adams Brake Service on Dillon Road until 2010.
He is survived by his beloved wife Terri; children Mason (Christan) Adams, Ryan Adams, Jesse Adams, and Sadie Adams Potter; grandchildren Iris, Wesley, Cannon, Embry, Autumn, Ivy, Cameron, and Eason; step children Nan (Nick) Serino, Mike (Shelly) Mincy, and Zach (Catherine) Mincy; step grandchildren Jack, Lila, Olivia, and Poppy; sisters Jann Adams (Tim Shearon) and Shirley Ruth Holleman; and numerous nieces and nephews.
Philip loved history, especially of Indian trails and the stories and genealogies local to Thomasville and surrounding areas. His creativity was expressed in painting, poetry, music, and his quiet wit. His devotion to Jesus and His church inspired and encouraged many people as he lived out his faith with genuine sincerity.
Philip was preceded in death by his parents, Herbert (1994) and Marigene (2006). May Philip rest In peace, fondly remembered and deeply missed.
