Charles Frederick Adams, Jr.

Charles Frederick Adams, Jr. passed away at his Atlanta home on Monday, March 10, 2025. Chuck was born on April 4, 1955 and passed away just shy of his 70th birthday. He was a native Atlantan and also lived in Athens Georgia, Lynchburg Virginia, and Cookeville Tennessee. He is survived by his mother Agnes Sims Adams, his sisters, Lucy Eleanor Adams, Susan Elizabeth Adams and brother Stephen Adams. He is also survived by numerous nephews, nieces and cousins. Chuck is preceded in death by his father, Charles Frederick Adams originally from Pelham Georgia, who passed away in 1977. By education, Chuck was an Electrical Engineer and followed with a Masters degree in Business Administration. His career resolved around Information Technology and Engineering, spending much of his career in Management Consulting. Chuck was also an accomplished musician, as an expert performer with the French Horn and Trumpet instruments. He was also a skilled band and orchestra conductor. A favorite hobby of Chuck’s that bordered on being a vocation, was Ham Radio operation. Beginning as a youngster building his first crystal radio set he progressed to the nuances and technical proficiency of radio signals through airwaves, eventually becoming professionally licensed and becoming the most proficient among even those decades older. Chuck was an avid golfer as a junior. While playing tournaments was of some interest to him, playing along side his Father was the great appeal to the both of them. No one loved their family the way Chuck did. He was a proverbial drum major for the accomplishments of every one of his family members. Some remember the dry wit and biting humor Chuck possessed, even reaching his own family members, but I saw and heard firsthand the detailed knowing he possessed of each family members’ virtues, attributes and interests, that he extolled to those around him. He was very proud of his family, and of each one in it. Chuck was a lover of cats, caring for numerous kitties over the course of his life. He particularly enjoyed rescuing lost cats, making them part of his loving home. Chuck remained in touch with those from his past and earlier years of his life, being a source of friendship, knowledge and remembrance to many who knew him. We would appreciate any friends and family so inclined, to provide comments or personal sentiments related to Chuck, here at the kimbrellstern.com memorial site. Thank you. The funeral will be followed by a gravesite internment at Crown Hill Cemetery in Albany Georgia on Thursday, March 20, 2025, beginning at 1:00 pm EST, for our dear Chuck.
