Trond E. Adams, 83, of Rock Island died Tuesday, January 4th, 2022. He was born October 22nd, 1938 in Rock Island, Illinois to Helen and Harold Adams. On December 3rd, 1960, he married Jerlean Adams celebrating 50 years of marital bliss until she died in 2011.
Trond made it his quest to be a hard-working man. During his earlier years, he worked at Eagles grocery store in Rock Island and then pursued a career at Wonder Bread Bakery ending up as a Materials/Receiving Manager. He immensely loved both his job and his co-workers. After 43 years, he retired and started another career as a parts driver for B & B Truck and Trailer and worked there until the present time.
Trond was a compassionate, loving soul who never complained and was very private. Still, he never met a stranger and was always willing to assist anyone, making sure they receive the help or guidance they needed. As an avid fisherman, he enjoyed the lakes surrounding Spooner, Wisconsin while on summer vacations with his family. He also enjoyed metal detecting and the local casinos. However, his greatest enjoyment was sharing time with his family and friends.
