Adam was born on August 16, 1987, in Waterloo, IA, Adam was the youngest of four children to John and Esther (Medina) Green. He grew up in Oelwein, IA, where his adventurous spirit and love for the outdoors flourished.

From a young age, Adam was known for his boundless energy and curiosity, often found playing outside or riding along in his father’s semi, cherishing the special moments they shared on the road. His passion for life led him to a career working on train cars, beginning at Transco in Oelwein. Adam dedicated himself to this trade, working across Northeast Iowa, including the local ethanol plant, where he took pride in every job.

A chance encounter forever changed his life when he met Chyna Panos. The two quickly fell in love, and on June 24, 2023, they celebrated their union in West Union, IA. Together, they had a family of five, and Adam’s girls were the center of his universe. He poured his heart into teaching them life’s lessons, instilling in them the importance of love and family.

In addition to his family, Adam had a deep passion for motorcycles, often spending weekends riding and camping with his loved ones. One of his most cherished memories was a trip to Boone to visit the train museum with Chyna, celebrating their anniversary in a way that reflected their shared interests.

Adam also enjoyed fishing and hunting with his brother, creating bonds that strengthened their lifelong friendship. He was known for his infectious laughter and kind spirit, touching the lives of everyone he met.
