DOLGEVILLE - It is with great sorrow that we announce the passing of Scott A. Adams, who left this world on May 17th, 2025, in Dolgeville, New York, after a long illness affecting his heart and lungs.
Scott was born on January 9th,1963, in Newnan, Georgia, and his journey through life was marked by a spirit that embraced freedom, a passion for laughter, and a heart full of love for those around him.
Scott was preceded in death by his beloved parents, Aubrey L. Adams Sr. and Eleanor J. Webb, as well as his brother, Aubrey L. Adams Jr. His family remembers him fondly, not only for his unique character but also for the kindness he extended to everyone he encountered.
He is survived by four loving sisters: Pamela D. Sliwka, Donna M. Montoya, Traci L. Adams, and Sharon L. VanAlstyne. These sisters held a special place in Scott's heart, cherishing the bond they shared as siblings and the memories that will remain with them forever.
Scott's educational journey began at William Mitchell High School in Colorado Springs, Colorado, where he forged lifelong friendships and developed a zest for life. Though he pursued some college education, it was his experiences that shaped him into the remarkable person we remember today. His employment history was as diverse as his talents; he was known for his freelance work and odd jobs, showcasing his skills as a handyman who could build or fix just about anything.
In his younger years, Scott traveled with a carnival, a testament to his adventurous spirit and desire to explore the world around him. In his free time, Scott found joy in woodworking, creating beautiful pieces that reflected his creativity and craftsmanship. Whether it was building furniture or repairing items, Scott's hands were always busy, and his heart was always open. An avid bike rider, he loved exploring the town, often seen pedaling along the streets with a smile on his face, spreading his infectious joy to everyone he met.
Scott was a free spirit who touched the lives of many with his humor and generosity. He had an innate ability to make others laugh and believed in the goodness of life. His giving nature and willingness to help anyone in need were hallmarks of his character, and he will be remembered for the warmth he brought into the lives of others. Though Scott was never married and did not have children of his own, he created a family of friends who cherished and adored him. His legacy of love and laughter will be carried on by all who had the privilege to know him.
As we bid farewell to Scott A. Adams, we celebrate a life well-lived; a life filled with adventure, creativity, kindness, and laughter. He will be deeply missed but never forgotten, living on in the hearts of his family and friends. May he find peace in eternity, free from illness, with the knowledge that he made a lasting impact on the lives of those who loved him. We will continue to honor his memory.
A Celebration of Life will be held at a later date and time to be announced. Cremation arrangements have been entrusted to the Enea, Ciaccia & Applegate Funeral Directors (315) 894-8000. Online notes of sympathy may be left at
