It is with deep sorrow that we share the passing of Adam Scholz of Lincoln, Nebraska, a beloved son, brother, and friend whose presence brought joy, laughter, and warmth to so many lives.
Adam was known for his kind heart, infectious humor, and the genuine way he connected with others. Whether it had been days or years since he last saw someone, he had a remarkable ability to pick up right where things left off—making people feel valued, remembered, and truly seen. His vibrant personality and signature greetings, like his unforgettable “HEY LADYYY!!!,” will echo in the memories of those who loved him, bringing both smiles and tears in the days ahead.
He was connected to both Von Maur and Central Community College Hastings, reflecting his dedication to both his work and personal growth. Adam approached life with a spirit of determination balanced by a lightheartedness that made every environment brighter simply by his presence.
At the center of Adam’s life was his family, who meant everything to him. He is lovingly remembered by his parents, Shirley and Tom Scholz; his siblings, Clark Scholz, Stuart Scholz, and Amanda Sheffield; and a large extended family including aunts Shelly Clark and Sharon Cuda, as well as cousins Dustin Scholz, Mitchell Clark, and Bridget Clark Henkel. The bond he shared with each of them was one of love, loyalty, and unwavering support.
Friends remember Adam as someone who could make any moment better—someone whose laughter was contagious and whose kindness left a lasting mark. He had a rare gift for turning ordinary interactions into meaningful connections, and his absence leaves a space that cannot be filled.
Though his passing is a heartbreaking loss, Adam’s life is a testament to the power of joy, friendship, and authenticity. The memories he created will continue to live on in the hearts of all who knew him.
May his family and loved ones find comfort in those memories and strength in one another during this difficult time. Adam Scholz will be deeply missed, forever remembered, and always loved. May he rest in peace.
