Adam Wayne Starks-Forte

Adam Wayne Starks-Forte, 38, of Rochester, NY, passed away on August 17, 2024, in Rochester. Born on December 21, 1985, Adam spent his life in Rochester, where he worked as a roofer, a trade he was dedicated to throughout his career.

Adam was proud to learn he had become a father, and he cherished the time he spent with his daughter, Olivia. He found joy in the simple pleasures of life—boating, jet skiing, building Lego creations, listening to music, and hanging out with friends. His love of the water was celebrated when he married his wife, Lauren, on the beach, a day he held close to his heart.

Adam is survived by his loving mother, Maria; his father, Dalton (Shannon); his sisters, Aurelia (Billy) and Jessica; his brothers, Dylan and Jason; his beloved daughter, Olivia; his wife, Lauren; and his future grandson, Ezekiel, who he was excited to welcome into the world.

Adam’s presence was deeply felt by those who knew him, and his passing leaves a significant void in the lives of his family and friends.

A celebration of Adam’s life will be held on Saturday, August 24, 2024, at 1:00 PM at Church Lodge, Churchville, NY 14428. Friends and family are invited to come together to remember and honor his life.
