It sounds like we lost a true member of the 12th Man.
I'm glad such a supporter got to see the team win it all and was able to celebrate the victory.

I am glad he got to see the Hawks win the Super Bowl and that he got to go to the parade with his family. But it is sad that he died and is lost to his family, I am sure they would trade SB 48 for their husband and father any day of the week.

Wow, Hawktown.
Not much to say, except that when I blinked after reading Adam's story, a tear literally rolled down my cheek. Sounds like a great guy who packed a lot of life in during his 38 yrs, as young as it is to go.
Godspeed to his wife and sons, for those who will rally around the Norton family, and to you, again, for sharing this with us.

thanks for the replies everyone, he was a truly happy, good man that will be missed for sure. The funeral was one of the coolest, if you could call it that, iv'e ever been to. The go hawks chants repeating Adam's final posts on Facebook was reminiscent of his life and how he would have wanted it to be. So many happy people in his family and life. Adam touched many lives and has now touched all of yours in a small way, if any.
sorry about the tears c-bob and zorn, i still get them pretty often. I am glad you "enjoyed" the story.

Wow, what a story. Sorry for your loss Hawktown. Sad to see a good man go at any age but 38, that is way too young. My condolences to his family and friends.
