Life story

" James "Adam" Edwards, 32, went to rest with his Heavenly Father on Saturday, June 22, 2019. Known by family and friends as Adam, he was a lifelong resident of Woodbridge, Virginia, and alumni of C.D. Hylton Senior High School. He will forever be remembered by his loving parents, Lawrence “Sunny” and Suzanne Boyle Edwards; brothers Sunny, Jr. (Kimberly), Kevin (Heather Presnell), Brandon (Laura), and Andrew (Marta); sisters Robin and Vikki; nieces Tiffany, Lindsay, and Olivia; nephew, Gavin; and many aunts, uncles, cousins and beloved friends.

He is preceded in death by grandparents, Thomas and Betty Sisk Edwards and James and Irene Boyle; uncle, Francis Boyle; and cousin, K.J. Edwards.

Adam was a passionate soul and put his entire heart into everything he did, whether it was odd jobs to help family or neighbors, or seeing his favorite bands play live with his friends. A true animal lover, Adam had a soft spot for rescuing strays and caring for the family’s pets. He also enjoyed the outdoors, from summer trips to the beach, fishing at Leesylvania State Park or sitting in a tree stand on cold winter mornings with his father and brothers.

Above all else, Adam was fiercely loyal and loved his family, as well as the friends he considered family.

A memorial service will be held at 4:30pm on Monday, July 8, 2019, at the Sacred Heart Chapel of Manassas, VA (6430 Token Forest Dr, Manassas, VA 20112), officiated by Deacon Gerald Moore. A reception will follow immediately after at the John Paul I Columbian Center (12965 Trentdale Drive, Dale City, VA 22193), where the family will receive guests until 7:00pm.
