Scott Joseph Adams, beloved son, father

Scott Joseph Adams, 39, of Millsboro, passed away suddenly at his home Tuesday, Dec. 19, 2023. 

He is preceded in death by his grandmother, Catherine V. Bartlett; great-grandmother, Mary E. Hazewski; and his grandfathers, Paul V. McKnight Sr. and Mike Ryan.

Scott is survived by his devoted mother, Teresa Ferrell; as well as his four children, Manuel Serano, Patrick Adams, Ava Adams and Keyton Adams, all of Millsboro. He also leaves behind his sister, Jennefer Marker of Oregon; grandfather, Howard Bartlett of Millsboro; as well as his aunts, his uncles, and seven cousins. 

Scott will be sorely missed by all those who knew and loved him. He was a sensitive soul who felt his emotions deeply. He had an infectious smile and always tried to be positive and encouraging. He was always eager to help a friend. He was a mischievous prankster as well, loving to put smiles on the faces of others. An avid hockey fan, Scott played ice, roller, and street hockey. Some of his fondest memories were of playing hockey on an ice rink that his mom created in their backyard. Scott's greatest trophies were his children, whom he truly loved. Being a father gave him the most happiness in his life. 

A memorial service and celebration of Scott’s life will begin at 2 p.m., Saturday, Jan. 13, at the Community Church of Oak Orchard, 32615 Oak Orchard Road, Millsboro, with a time of visitation for friends beginning at 1 p.m. 

In lieu of flowers, Scott's family asks that you consider a donation to a trust fund that has been established for his children c/o their grandmother, Teresa Ferrell.
