What Chad loved most was riding his motorcycle and Bob Segar music. He enjoyed working on cars and had built and enjoyed several hotrods over the years. He was very knowledgeable in all aspects of automobile mechanics and could assemble a high=performance engine from scratch.  He could also do body and paint work.  He was a generous person and would help anyone in need.  He had a unique sense of humor and could always make you smile.  Surviving are:  daughter, Alissa Capri Bosworth of Flint Township; father, Gerald A. Adkisson of Flushing; sister, Maria Lynn (Melissa Morgan) Adkisson of Davison; brother, Jerry R. Adkisson of Flint Township; stepmother, Debra Lawson; stepsister, Amy Beckley; several nieces and nephews.  Chad is preceded in death by his mother, Marilynn (Watson) Adkisson, his grandparents, and most recently by his uncle, Ronald Adkisson.
