To so many who loved him, he wasn’t just Adam—he was Adoo. That name holds a lifetime of memories and will forever have a special place in our hearts.

Adoo was truly one of a kind. He had a softer heart than he sometimes let people see and a way of making the people around him feel cared for. He was kind, compassionate, and loved deeply. Those who knew him best knew there was something special about him.

Adoo loved being outdoors and living life with his hands and his heart. He enjoyed riding dirt bikes and horses, water skiing, boating, playing pool and darts, spending time with family, and working on anything that gave him the chance to build or create. He took great pride in building houses and loved turning something from the ground up into something beautiful. He was hardworking, determined, and never afraid to get his hands dirty.

Above all, Adoo loved being a dad. His two sons, Ayden and Oliver, were his pride and joy and held the biggest piece of his heart. Being their father was something he cherished deeply, and his love for them will live on through them.

Adoo is survived by his parents, David Cart and Sherl Ross Cart; his sons, Ayden and Oliver; his siblings, Christopher Cart, Colton Cart (Elda Kahteran), and Angel Cart; and his nieces, Alyssa (Hailey), Madelynne, and Ava.

Adoo was a son, brother, father, uncle, and friend. He gave us laughter, unforgettable moments, and stories we will carry with us forever. We will miss his laugh, his personality, his stubbornness, his kindness, and all the little things that made him who he was.

Although we would give anything for more time with him, we are grateful for every moment we were given. Adoo will remain with us in the memories we cherish, the people he loved, and the life he built.
