Conference Materials – Emergency Management Association of Ohio

Update: Here we are...Friday evening. The last two days have been difficult for so many. All of the calls, the texts, messages like the ones below..... show how much of an impact a single person can make.

It's hard to guess how many people ever saw Buck pound his fist on a table at a meeting to get his point across...or how many people were able to hear his infectious laugh when he told a good story....or how many of you heard his many, many soup recipes after he spent a Sunday afternoon stirring up something delicious. What we know for sure is...it didn't matter the topic, the place, the reason....he had a passion for everything he did and everything he shared.

I think it would be correct to say that he appreciated every single one of you... believe me......(I, however, never appreciated him snookering me into eating a handful of dried Wasabi Peas when he knew I couldn't stand hot stuff! He belly laughed so hard!).

It's times like these that give us the reminder to treat each other a bit kinder...a bit gentler. To reflect about considering someone else's perspective on things because our way isn't always the only way. There's a lot to think about when someone passes on.

I hope Heaven is everything you imagined. You were and will always be one of my dearest friends. Thank you for giving me the freedom to learn where I belong and for supporting me every step of the way.

Peace and Love Buck ♥️ Christina

Medina County lost a great man today. A true supporter of public safety. Charles 'Buck' Adams left this Earth to meet again with his wife Christy. We should say more but it's hard when your heart is hurting.

Thanks Buck for all the memories and for loving Medina County as much as you did.

We will continue to honor you in everything we do ♥️

Please keep his daughter and son in your thoughts and prayers. ... See MoreSee Less
