     Richard Adam Musser, 25, of Kenefick, was born in Houston, Texas, on August 9, 1984. He left this earth too soon after dying instantly in a one vehicle crash on July 25, 2010.
     Adam was an outdoorsman to be sure. He grew up riding horses, roping, and working the farm in Whitesboro, Oklahoma alongside his grandpa. Adam learned to play the trumpet and played three years in the jr. high band. He also loved to hunt, fish, ride four wheelers and camp. He enjoyed sports and followed them, be it basketball, baseball and or football. Although country music is what hit him in the heart, Adam also liked to listen to rock and even rap. He was a hard worker who sealed leaks for Team Industrial going on three years. His daughter was the light of his life. Adam will live on in the hearts and lives of all who knew and loved him, and be greatly missed.
     Preceding him in death was his uncle, Joey Owens.
