Bruce Eugene Adams

Mr. Bruce Eugene Adams, age 65, of Dewy Rose, GA passed on Sunday, November 23, 2025, in Clayton, GA. As Bruce would say, “If anything ever happened while riding, just know I am doing what I love.”

Born in Elberton, GA on January 6, 1960, he was the fourth child of Woodrow Abner Adams and Essie Hall Almond Adams. He was employed for the last 30 plus years by Rocky Ridge Trucks. Bruce was a family man who loved his wife, children and grandchildren. He also enjoyed playtime with Neleigh, their dachshund. Bruce was the kind of man who never met a stranger, gave everyone the benefit of the doubt and would give you the shirt off his back. Although he is gone from our sight, he will always be forever cherished in our hearts.

Survivors include his loving wife of 26 years, Shell Adams; children: Timothy D. Adams and his wife Julie of Pendergrass, GA, Tonya D. Adams of Hartwell, GA, Melissa L. Holland and her husband Stephen of McDonough, GA, and Matthew S. Morris and his wife Chizra of Ila, GA; siblings: James Adams, Carol Adams, Billy Adams, all of Dewy Rose, GA; grandchildren who adored their Papa: Matthew, Gracelynn, Ariel, Roxie, Leah and Joseph Eugene and a host of nieces, nephews and other relatives.

The family is at the residence in Dewy Rose, GA, and will receive friends on Sunday, November 30, from 1:30-2:30 p.m. at Berry Funeral Home. Funeral services celebrating Bruce’s life will follow at 3:00 p.m. in the Memorial Chapel of Berry Funeral Home, officiated by the Rev. Jamie Callaway. Burial will follow in Hillcrest Cemetery in Bowman, GA.
