Jesus, pray for Adam

Family members said that Adam wanted to be in the military since he was a child. They also stated that he was very family-oriented, well liked and laid back. They also stated that he was a man of faith. 

Baptist Church officials stated that Adam was well-mannered, good spirited and just an all around good American boy. 

Adam is survived by many loving friends and relatives including his parents, Amanda and Staff Sgt. Dudley Ross; his brother Army Pfc. Jonathan Ross; and his girlfriend, Rachel Lowery. 

Pray for the 19 year olds who die in combat. Yesterday, they were just boys. 

Let us pray that Adam Ross is in heaven. Let us pray that he is at peace and is with God. Amen
