Mr. Adamson was born in Atlanta, Georgia, a son of the late Lilburn Maurice Adamson and the late Hazel Wells Adamson. A man of faith, John lived life to the fullest.

Survivors include his sons, Arin Adamson (Louise) of Hoschton and Andrew Adamson of Hoschton, and his grandchildren, Lyla and Abby Adamson. He is also survived by his sister, Connie Peterson, and his loving partner, Sally Adamson, along with her daughter Jaime Pledger and children Sara and Cy.
