In Loving Memory of 
Adam William Palmer
 November 25, 1974 ~ January 20, 2019

 Adam was the third child born to Barbara Egan and Merrill James (Jim) Palmer on November 25, 1974. He graduated from Brighton High School in Sandy, Utah and later earned a Bachelor’s Degree from the University of Phoenix in Information Systems Technology.

 Adam started his professional career while going to college at Pacificorp working as a meter reader. After his college graduation, he was promoted to Computer Technician III. He worked 23 years for Pacificorp.

 He married the love of his life, Darleen Howland Palmer, on June 26, 1998. Together they have four children; Kelcee (19), Kaden (16) Kambree (14), and Korbin (12).  

He is survived by his mother Barbara Shackleford and siblings Wade (Cher) Palmer, Chad (Heather) Palmer, Val (Colleen) Palmer, Madeline (Paul) DeMordaunt, Lance (Yumi) Palmer, in-laws Don & Linda Hodges, Victoria Ross, Tim Howland, Skye (Liz) Hodges, Heather Hodges, and DJ (Brianna) Hodges.

 Adam is preceded in death by his father Merrill James “Pops” Palmer, Step-father Ron “Papa Ron” Shackleford, Grandma Marjorie W. Farnsworth and brother-in-law Adam Ross. 

Adam was a sensitive, loving and dedicated father and husband who loved to laugh. He was generally thought of as the “life of the party” and always seemed to find humor in everyday events with his off-the-wall comments and spontaneous personality. He always kept us laughing.

 Adam endured a difficult trial of physical pain in his life. His love and commitment to his family empowered him to suffer longer than most would have. 

 Thank you Adam for holding on for as long as you did. We love you Adam!
