I knew Adam as a student at Caldwell Community College. He was warm, friendly and genuinely kind. I had also taught his mother in a previous Art Appreciation class. Knowing both of them makes this a particularly poignant loss.

I remember running into both of them at a wedding reception. Adam was clear about his desire to go into law enforcement. It was a dream come true.

My thoughts are with his family, his friends and colleagues.

To the family, friends, and brothes in blue from Caldwell Co. my heart goes out to you. The loss of a brother sees no departmental boundries as we see from the reflections. I personallly never got to meet Adam but from what I have read I am sure he was smilling when watched upon all of us out there at the scene. The response from departments all over the state were overwhelming, the support from the community was outstanding. All of you are in our thoughts and prayers. Rest in peace my brother, and watch our 6 as we continue on the beat. I can only hope that if we also make the ultimate sacrifice that well be meet and welcomed by those that have gone before us.

You served your people well and answered the call to serve and protect. May you be remembered as a hero, your legacy continued, and the perpetrator brought to justice.

To your family:

Be not too sad of heart,
God shares all your sorrows.
He will bring you peace of mind,
And brighten your tomorrow.

Lean heavily upon our Lord,
Love and comfort He will give to you.
In his arms He’ll ever hold you,
And fill you with the spirit to live.

Dearest family, friends, colleagues, and co - workers of Deputy Klutz - I can tell you from personal experience that there isn't alot anyone can say right now that will completely sooth and dull the searing pain you feel with every beat of your hearts. The longer you know someone and the closer the bonds become, the more hurt and sorrow senseless acts like this cause. What happened to Adam could have happened to anyone of us and the only difference is the timing in which the lord chose to take Adam from your lives. There are no definative answers right now, however like the old hymn says "farther along we'll understand why!" Adam bore truth faith and aliegance to the profession, brotherhood, and community which he served. From my meager command of the English language, I think the highest citation I could utter would be to simply say Semper Fidelis - Adam you were Always Faithful and I thank you for it. Lest We Forget....
