ADAM
No One You Know
From Todd Vierling, Adam May's husband:
The Adam many of you simply know as "ADAM (In All Caps)" left us at approximately 5:30 pm US/Eastern time, September 29, 2017.
This was a while coming. Besides some serious lower back problems starting around 2007 and accelerating in 2012 and later, he was in the hospital for the better part of this year for a serious systemic infection (sepsis in the bloodstream). So the cause was likely an expected complication of problems earlier in the year, so at least it was known risk.
Don't worry about me; I am personally stable -- for those of you who've met me, you know I'm one of those strong people that everyone tends to lean on instinctively. I wanted to bring the news to those of you who knew a large part of his life that I only ever scratched the surface of.
There is no memorial service planned per his wishes. Sure, you can feel free to donate to a worthy cause if you want. (PETA, Anti-Defamation League, there's plenty out there). I will get one of those obtuary-guestbook things put together soon, and you can always share thoughts on this thread too.
As for Adam, I have to believe that right now he's seeking out Mel (Hsu) to exchange long overdue gossip. I can't imagine how much they've both racked up and need to chuckle over by now.
