The last video I saw was when he flew home from Switzerland via Detroit. Where there any after that?

Yes - they are up on his YouTube. He set up his Christmas decorations, went to Epcot to see the holidays, and then his last video was with the grinch driving around celebration seeing the decorations.

After diving into his content the last few days I’m sad that I didn’t follow him more closely during his time with us.

Thank You, In a few days I will check them out.

Yes, his last video was hilarious! The Grinch rode around Celebration with him on mini marge, his electric golf cart/car. I'm not sure who the grinch was, possibly his friend Jim or whomever plays chewbacca in his videos.

My goodness. RIP Adam.

He will be missed.

Unless he hid it extremely well he lead a pretty clean life, no drugs, no alcohol problems, etc. Drank a lot of coffee and battled some weight issues for quite a few years, that’s it… the sad thing about heart attacks (assuming that’s what happened) is they can have no warning signs, my uncle lived as healthy a lifestyle as you could and died instantly in his 50s from a heart attack while snorkeling in the Bahamas. He had just had his annual checkup a few months earlier and passed with flying colors, enjoy life because nothings guaranteed.

He was not looking so healthy lately. I don't know if there was something behind the scenes we were not privy to. Either way 51 is way too young.

It was Jim.

The Grinch is played by Dune Buggy Jim. Jim's Youtube channel even shows him performing as The Grinch and entertaining Florida locals during the Christmas season from previous years.





It's honestly sweet to see Jim performing as the Grinch for locals who are far away from Universal Orlando Resort to visit the actual Grinch during Grinchmas.

This popped up in my suggestions today and I’m so glad it did… it’s 10 years old but I’d say mission accomplished!

end of the year is always a time of reflection - this one is really hitting me hard.

It’s especially difficult watching his Disneyland Paris videos and hearing the genuine joy and happiness about visiting that resort during Christmas- almost a year since my first visit to DLP and sharing so many of the same thoughts he had.

When he rode the catastrophe canyon ride and talked about his childhood and said he had to get in as many rides on it as he could “cause it may be gone soon.”

His long form content skips the quick edits and takes time to look at the fish along the path to hotel Cheyenne, read random signs around the property, and look at 90’s era decor in a soon to be redeveloped merchandise location.

RIP ADAM
May you enjoy exploring all the corners of Heaven.
I was a huge fan. I started watching his things way back when he was starting out. I don't remember how I stumbled on to him and got started watching him but immediately after finding him I wanted to follow him throughout his journeys. He was always very entertaining and gave me a view of places I would never expect to visit or experience.
I always hoped to bump into him somewhere, sometime at Disney on one of our trips but was never lucky enough to do so. Like many fans a few years ago I was able to get a mailing from him that included some pins and cards which I will long treasure. They hold a honorary place in my Disney room.
Will miss him greatly.

I received that mailing too. One of my favorite videos he did was from a week after his self-addressed mail giveaway announcement. He came out of the post office in Celebration wheeling out a postal cart filled with envelopes and was flabbergasted about the response, it makes me smile just thinking about it.

I got so much enjoyment from his videos.

I appreciate Justin Scarred’s video tribute to Adam where he said that even though most fans never met Adam, we were his friend too. I thought it was kind of him to say that, because it does feel like I lost a friend even though I never met him.

I hope his videos remain on Youtube, I don’t know how that works when someone passes away. I’d like to celebrate his life by continuing to watch his videos.

RIP Adam

Not saying this is what happened to Adam, but my gosh this is eerily similar, near verbatim, to what happened to a relative back in the 90's.

They had a long flight home from an international trip.
They were back home for a couple days.
One night not long from returning, she was talking with her husband in bed, took a deep breath, then gone.

Was a DVT (deep vein thrombosis) formed sometime during her trip (?) in one of her legs. No symptoms. Then it broke loose and traveled to her brain that night, causing a peaceful yet sudden death. It can also do the same via heart, but hers was brain.

Again, not saying this has anything to do with Adam's situation. But if you do take long flights, consider ankle exercises (like you're playing piano pedals with your feet) or flexing your calves if you are sitting for hours and hours. Compression socks are great.

As for Adam, very sad to hear this news. 51 is too young to go, as others have noted. Glad he got to live a life doing what he loved while bringing happiness to others in the process.

It seems very possible. Very suspect that it happened shortly after his flight home.
It can also occur on long car, bus, train rides. Any trip where you are seated for long periods, ( over 4 hours they say) can put people at risk, especially those over 50. You are supposed to extend your legs, flex your legs, move ankles and feet, stand and walk if possible. On a long car trip you can pull over at rest stops or spots along your route and get out to take a short walk.
On our long WDW drives I set a time period to routinely move from my car seat.

It's also a good idea to take some aspirin as a blood thinner before long trips.
