It is with broken hearts and profound sadness that the family of the late Adam Ernest Saunders, age 35, of Robert's Arm, NL announces his passing Wednesday October 16, 2019.

Born in Springdale Newfoundland, September 25, 1984, Adam began his journey through life.  Adam was the youngest of three children, the only son, of Hilda and the late Collen Saunders.

He is predeceased by his father Collen Saunders and grandparents Adam and Violet Saunders , grandfather Ernest Austin.

Adam leaves to remember the wonderful life that he lived, his loving wife Julia Saunders (nee Boyles); son Jack Saunders; mother Hilda Saunders; sisters Amanda (Travis) Palmatler, April (Dave) Harnum; Grandmother Blanche Austin; father-in-law Dennis Boyles, mother-in-law Joan Thomas, aunts, uncles and cousin who were special to him, as well as other family members and friends. He left indelible memories for his family and friends to cherish forever.

Adam was a family man who always put them first! Julia was truly PERFECT to him and their love was evident. Jack was the apple of his eye and "Dad's man". Their little excursions and fishing trips will be FOREVER etched in his mind! He NEVER failed to show and tell them how much he loved them, no matter who was around. His Dad, Mom and Sisters meant the world to him. Sam was his truest companion and definitely a mans best friend, every waking moment of every single day that dog was by his side. With Adam, family was everything.

Adam simply loved the great outdoors! He loved the warmth of summer, back yard fires, quiet time at the lake, beach days with his family, quad rides to wherever the dirt roads took him! He loved the cold of the winter, frozen ponds, ice fishing with his little man and topped off with a fire.

Adam was a man of few words but when he spoke you can be assured that it was something funny and it made someone laugh. He left a lot of fond memories with his family and friends.

Everyone must leave something behind when they pass! Adam left fond memories and lots of love. His life was a blessing, his memory a treasure, he is loved beyond words and missed beyond measure.

Every second of every hour of every day.. YOU WILL BE MISSED!
