The late Adam Ballard was from Romeoville, Illinois. The community and his family are struggling to cope with his unexpected passing. Adam’s sister, Angelique Ballard, is fundraising for his funeral, seeking to lay him to rest peacefully and honor his memory.
Angelique Ballard created a GoFundMe campaign titled "IN LOVING MEMORY OF ADAM BALLARD" with a goal of raising $12,000. She shared a heartfelt message, describing Adam as a beloved son, brother, uncle, and friend. Angelique emphasized Adam’s loyalty, sense of humor, and love for music, particularly freestyling and rapping. Despite facing many struggles in life, Adam was known for his unwavering loyalty and ability to make others laugh.
"All he wanted was to LIVE and to be able to enjoy life," Angelique wrote. "Regardless of the struggles he battled throughout life he still always tried to joke around and smile. Since a little boy he was always the class clown; the jokester."
The loss of Adam has left a profound void in the lives of those who knew him. Angelique shared the deep pain of never being able to hear his voice, see his smile, or experience his joyful presence again. She expressed her sorrow at the thought of her son never experiencing the love and joy Adam brought into their lives.
In her plea for support, Angelique stated, "We were not prepared to lose you this soon, Adam. Anything will help. Thank you to anyone who will have it in their heart to help our family. God bless."
The GoFundMe campaign is a testament to the love and respect Adam’s family and friends have for him. It reflects their desire to provide a proper service in his memory and to find some solace in the face of this devastating loss. The community has begun to rally around the fundraiser, showing support for the Ballard family during this incredibly difficult time.
