On August 6, 2006 Adam Smiddy passed away after a very short battle against a very aggressive melanoma cancer. Adam was just 26 years of age and in the prime of his life.
Adam's last name, Smiddy, is what all his friends affectionately called him. Smiddy was a talented triathlete, a devoted physiotherapist, a son that his parents David and Maria were so very proud of, and a brother to Paul, who looked up to and admired his big brother Adam.
"To us, his friends, he was our buddy, our pal, our cobber, our mate! Smiddy will always be special in our hearts for reasons only those close to him can know. Smiddy was one of those rare breed of humans that had not a bad word to say about anyone and not an enemy in the world. He loved life with a passion and he loved his family and friends more. To have Smiddy as your friend you could count yourself blessed. I miss my mate Smiddy."
