Bernard “Bubba” Adams, IV

June 17, 1974 – May 23, 1997

Born Brazoria Co, died Harris Co

“II Timothy 4:7, I have fought a good fight,

I have finished my race,

I have kept the faith”

“No farewell words were spoken, no time to say goodbye, you were gone before we knew it, and only God knows why”

This is the property owner’s grandson. She said the deer and fish on the headstone were drawn by Bubba’s friends,

the DeSpain brothers. Bubba loved to fish and hunt, and always dreamed of getting “the legend.”
