Adon Carl Spears, a beloved member of the Birmingham community, is facing his final days as he battles aggressive cancer that has spread throughout his body, affecting his pancreas, liver, and lungs. This devastating news has left his friends and family in shock and fear as they prepare for life without him.
Rod Caldwell, a close friend of Adon, has organized a GoFundMe campaign to help cover the costs of Adon’s impending funeral and memorial services. The fundraiser, created just yesterday, has already raised $325 of its $5,000 goal, with donations from supporters such as Randy McLeod ($100), Paul Warnke ($100), Sam Lemaistre ($50), and Sheri Hensley ($75).
Rod Caldwell expressed his deep sorrow and the urgency of the situation on the fundraiser page: "Friends & Relatives… Adon Spears and I have traveled a long path. This path is taking a fork, and will soon separate us. As many of you know, Adon’s cancer has spread all over his frail body. Very soon this cancer will rob us of his earthly presence. We are mortified and in shock to say the least. We are scared."
Paul Warnke also shared his thoughts on Facebook, urging others to contribute: "Two wonderful friends…one soon to transition to a greater realm waiting to greet the rest of us. Please donate if you can…pray earnestly regardless."
The community’s support is crucial as Adon’s condition rapidly deteriorates. Rod Caldwell promises to keep everyone updated on memorial arrangements and to share cherished photos of Adon. A memorial party is also planned to celebrate Adon’s life and legacy.
This heartfelt plea for assistance underscores the profound impact of terminal illness on families and friends, and the essential role of community support in such trying times.
