William ‘Blake’ Adams

April 19, 2026

William “Blake” Adams, age 40, was born on October 20, 1985, in Pensacola, FL.

With a sense of passion and divine purpose, Blake cherished his family and friends. His loving spouse, Tiffany, was the guardian of his heart and protector of his peace. Whether he was cheering from the sidelines at the kids’ sporting events or just being present in their daily lives, the love he held for his family was the driving force behind everything he did. Their home was a sanctum of peace and love for all who entered. Blake’s stubbornness was rooted in an intense, unwavering protectiveness over the people he held dear. If you were loved by Blake, you were protected by his loyal spirit. Blake possessed a brilliant, quick wit that kept everyone on their toes. He was genuinely hilarious, and his contagious laugh could fill a room and instantly lift the spirits of anyone blessed enough to hear it. Beyond family, Blake had a deep-seated passion for the roar of an engine. He loved spending time at the race track with his brother and had an enduring passion for classic cars. One of his proudest recent achievements was finishing the restoration of a 1974 Pontiac Grand Ville, affectionately known as “The Vert.” This was a labor of love completed in cherished memory of his late brother. We find deep comfort in knowing that he and Bo are together again, likely shooting pool and catching up. Blake’s legacy of devoted friendships lives on in the many lives he touched, particularly those of his lifelong friends, Daniel (Fred), Matt (Hollywood), and Kevin (Smoky). Blake and Daniel’s friendship is a noteworthy bond that illustrates a journey of commitment and loyalty that very few will ever experience. We can hear him telling you now, “I’m gonna pull up”. Blake was our champion through life’s unpredictable twists and turns; a constant in times of need. While no words can capture the space he leaves behind, we will carry Blake’s memory with us forever. He has “pulled up” to his forever home, smiling with joy in the midst of his Dad, brother, and Jesus.

Blake was preceded in death by his grandfather, William L. Adams; grandmother, Nina Sue Muszynski; his father, William “Buster” Adams; and brother, Waylon Lee Adams.

Blake is survived by his mother, Lori Barnhill; spouse, Tiffany Davis, and their children Jay, Essan, Briley, Kasen; sister, Kalli Wilks (Jamison); uncle, Mike “Unk” Chavers; Aunt, Lois “Lori” Adams, nieces and nephews, Miley, Stella, Eli, Kyler, Bailey; and many more cherished family members and friends.

Services will be held at Faith Chapel North, 1000 S. Hwy. 29, Cantonment, FL. 32533, on Tuesday, April 21, 2025. We’ll begin welcoming friends and family at 12:00 pm; the memorial service will commence at 12:30 pm.

Thank you all for your continued prayers, encouragement, and support!
