Adam Murehead was born on July 7, 1976, in Temple, Texas, to Donna Monroe and Mike Murehead. Soon after, he and his family returned to Texas, where he grew up and created a life for himself.
At the age of 19, Adam ambitiously ventured out and began his own business which he managed for the past 27 years. He was passionate about his jobs and took pride in his accomplishments. He enjoyed fishing, hunting, playing cards, and watching sunsets. His greatest joy, though, came from being McKenzie’s dad. Adam was caring, funny, witty, and was always the life of the party. He loved the farm and riding and checking on the livestock. Adam was a loving son, father, brother, uncle, and friend and he will be missed immensely.
Pallbearers were Daniel Holloway, Darren Lout, Shannon Metcalf, Jordan Jackson, Mike Barbee, and Sawyer Lout.
In lieu of flowers, donations to Shelby County Outreach at 906 Shelbyville Street, Center, Texas are requested.
