I can’t even begin to describe how it feels now. It feels like so much time has passed but also none at all. I miss staying up all night, drinking energy drinks and playing video games. I miss movie nights and talking hours after the movie was over about what we thought was stupid in the movie. Adam was the reason I went to my first Seahawks game and I don’t know if I’ll ever have a more memorable experience than the NFC Championships we were at together before the Seahawks won the Superbowl. I can never describe what kind of friend Adam was because there aren’t any words. There aren’t any words other than I love you Eastman, I’ll never be able to describe how much I miss you.

I am so thankful that I knew Adam. He was such a fun kid and grew into such a godly man. Yes he was quiet at times but I also remember him as a very energetic little guy too. Climbing on the countertops, jumping off of just about anything, running around like crazy. He was someone that I had so much respect and admiration for. It is a great comfort to me that this is not “goodbye” but rather “until”. We will see him again someday but we’ll sure miss him until then.

It took years for Adam and me to become friends. We met in high school through mutual friends, but he was very shy and didn’t talk to me very much. Even when we went to a college group together he barely spoke to me.
But then a bunch of us started playing ultimate frisbee every week, and that’s when our friendship actually began. He used to do this thing where he would yell “rage” all the time, especially to scare you, and I think he did it to irritate. Even though we saw each other all the time in groups I still didn’t really know him that well. I still remember there was one night where I had had a movie night at my house (probably to watch Star Wars) and he stayed after everyone left. I was initially weirded out because he had never shown any real interest in being true friends, but that night he stayed. And we talked. And he didn’t yell rage, and we didn’t need ultimate frisbee. I can’t even remember what we talked about exactly, but it was just getting to know each other and dreams and what we liked. We talked about our childhoods and our futures. And after he left I knew he was my friend. He still kept yelling rage and tried to scare me and Cindy, and we didn’t act like best friends, but I knew he cared.
After he joined the marines we didn’t talk that much, but we would always hang out when he was back on leave with the old gang. Last year he texted to congratulate me on my upcoming wedding, and say he was sorry he couldn’t make it. We talked about his getting out and moving home and going to school to become a teacher. I even gave myself points for remembering that he wanted to be a teacher. And I was so relieved that I would have one less friend in combat to worry about and pray for. I thought he was safe.
I will miss Adam very much. I will miss his quiet ways, and even his crazy and annoying antics. And someday I’ll see him again in heaven, and we will play one more game of ultimate, just for old times sake.
To the family I offer my sincerest condolences. There are no words. I pray for you in this loss. You raised a wonderful son. A true hero.

I remember the day Adam was born into our family. I remember watching Lisa labor and the excitement we all carried at his birth. Adam had a wonderful laugh and smile even as a baby. It was so much fun to make baby Adam laugh. As a little, little boy, he had the funniest way of saying the word truck. As a toddler, he was a runner and a darter keeping Lisa busy with her arms full of baby Elisabeth. As a young boy, it was so much fun to watch Adam barely able to contain his great excitement over receiving a batman action figure. He was the director of the younger kids in backyard baseball games or playing Sparky the Dog or that he was a Jedi in training. This beautiful little guy would get such a dark tan and blond, blond hair from playing outside. He had a hard time keeping his glasses safe since he played so hard. He loved to read and would impress us all with the serious literature that he read. There were so many baseball games that as a family, we would turn out to watch Adam play. He was so into it. We would all cheer, “Go Adam!” Lisa always cheered the loudest for him. It seems like yesterday, Adam walking around all geared up in his baseball pants carrying his glove everywhere. Years later, Adam would sometimes come over to help me with different projects like pulling up sod to make way for a new flower bed. On these days, we would talk about the serious decision of joining the military, college, or being a youth pastor. After Adam joined the Marines, my daughter Lucy and I kept Adam in our nightly prayers. We prayed for his protection in Afghanistan and later on for his protection as he crossed the ocean. Our hearts sang with joy upon his return home. When Adam separated from the Marines to come back home, it was wonderful to have him at the table at Thanksgiving, to see him at Christmas, still with the same grin, the same beautiful smile under that grizzly beard of his. When he left our house, he hugged his cousins goodbye and told them he loved them. I was worried about Adam and how he was adjusting to the civilian world. As his Uncle Rob says, we no longer have to worry about him. We thank God for giving us Adam to love and take care of. His life brought us much joy.

I can honestly say that I have not met anyone else quite like Adam. He was a tall, quiet, mischievous, kind, handsome kid with a gentle smile, who was either joking around, or in very serious thought.
I’m so proud of all his accomplishments and I’m sure that he was too. The road was not always easy for him, but he prevailed.
Adam had a kind heart. He looked out for the little guys and didn’t take it lightly when my son Colton was mistreated by another kid. He also did his best to include my daughter Chelsey as one-of-the-boys when it came to participating in activities where she was the only girl.
We hurt for your whole family, we know how very much you all loved Adam. You’re a family of great faith, which I believe brings comfort to many because we know, that you know, that God will carry you through this very difficult time.
We love you.

I remember when Ruth was about 5 years old (So Adam would’ve been maybe 15?), Adam had that Joker costume/outfit. She became infatuated. For the next year, the entire Eastman Family was defined by their relationship to the Joker … If I mentioned any of you, Ruth would act like she had no idea who I was talking about until I defined who you were in terms of the Joker. (Then as quickly as it started, she snapped out of it and acted like she didn’t have any idea what I was talking about. I believe that time coincided with when her infatuation changed from Adam to Christopher So … To the Joker’s mother, the Joker’s father, the Joker’s sister and the Joker’s brother (and the rest of your beautiful family) … you are in my thoughts and prayers. I am so sorry.

She was shocked to hear the news and recalled that Adam seemed himself earlier on Friday when he handed in his homework. “Adam was always polite and respectful. He was a hard worker and was excited about becoming history teacher.” She was concerned when he missed class on Monday, as he faithfully attended class. She is so very sorry.

How do you sum up such a special man’s life into words? I’ve been contemplating what to write because so much could be said. I have a million memories of Adam. It’s been some time since last seeing him, but when I picture him I see the young sweet face of a little boy (that’s how long I knew him!) Certainly his unique sense of humor stands out also. Truly like no other! Scott, Lisa and I used to joke that being a fly on the wall in their home would be quite entertaining.
Scott and Lisa have been so influential in my life over the years. Their kids may as well be my younger siblings. It feels like such a stab in the heart to lose Adam! I spent so many years praying for Adam especially while he was training with the Marines. I recall getting updates from Lisa while he was at basic and at first his letters home were filled with defeat. But his tone changed as time went on. The Marines sharpened him and grew his faith in his almighty God. He was only with us for 23 years, but what a life he lived. When I think of one word to describe him, I think LOYALTY. Adam was so loyal to his family and friends. We love and miss you terribly, Adam. I must say though – I’m not sad for you…you’re in the presence of Jesus. But I’m sad for all of us. We will press on with a hole in our hearts until we see you again.

Once we held within our arms a treasure so rare,
Never had one so sweet, and pure,and very fair
T’was our own son, We named him Adam.
God gave him to us
To love, nurture and protect from all harm and wrong.
Then one day the Lord of Life
Came to take our son away
“We cannot let him go!, we cried
it is not fair!”
And we wanted to bargain that he stay.
But the Lord gave this sorrowful look
and said, “it is time for him to come home”
And thus, in the quiet of an afternoon hush,
our son He took.
Yes Lord, you may take your own
for he is truly belongs to you
Safe in the house not made with hands
He is yours and our son forevermore.
Jesus said:*Do not let your hearts be troubled. Trust in God, trust also in me. In my father’s house are many rooms; if it were not so, I would have told you. I am going there to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with me that you may also be where I am. You know the way to the place where I am going”
We embrace you with our hearts and prayers as you walk through your grief,sadness, and loss.

After losing my husband, I have been so comforted knowing that God’s love endures forever. I framed a card that reminds me daily of God’s love during the most difficult of times – Lord, Thank you for upheaval, for rocking my little boat, for sending winds that seem too strong and waves that threaten to capsize me. Because all of this drives me into your arms. And anything which results in that end, Lord, is worth getting wet over. Some days, I feel drenched but God is good.

I first remember Adam as a small toddler at Grace Covenant, often leading Lisa by the hand all over the back of the church during long meetings, etc. He looked like a little cherub with his blond hair and chubby cheeks! Fast forward to Adam at three, when I became his preschool teacher for two years (or was it three?). He still had the blond hair and big blue eyes and a little lisp– he was adorable, and also determined not to like school at first! All those rules about being kind and taking turns and sharing toys– these posed big challenges for Adam. But over time, he developed into a model student who came to school with a smile each day. That was a special class for me– I got to know many of the parents well and really loved the group of kids I had. Since I didn’t see Adam a lot over the remaining years of his life, I will always remember him as a young child.

Heart still aches at the fact that Adam is gone. I have so many memories that come to me when I think of Adam. His sense of humor and imagination was right on mark; it was like he sat there, wit at the ready, to lat down a one liner that would blow us all away. I can remember playing imaginary games with him at Whistler and being stuck as the oldest together at the “kids” table for holiday meals. Being with him in Sunday school as well granted me the chance to watch him grow spiritually into a warrior of God. One of my favorite memories is sitting on the couch with him and Lucy watching Thumbalina. At the end, when she turns into a fairy, out of no where, Adam flaps his arms and says ” I got my wings!” Now Adam really does and he is playing the most awesome game of ultimate Frisbee with Jesus. You are sorely missed, Adam.

When I first heard the news that he was gone, my mind flashed immediately to the first time that I saw Adam walk in church nursery at Grace Covenant. Here’s what I knew about him instantly: he was smart, capable, and on his way. I was right, too. He grew up before my very eyes, He tackled life the same way he tackled the blocks and animal crackers in the nursery: with gusto.
I feel cheated that I didn’t get to watch him realize the potential that was so obvious to those around him.

While Adam was stationed at camp Pendleton, he and a few other Christian guys would cram themselves into Jesse Kiepper’s car and drive about 50 minutes one way to our church. After church they would come over to our house, have lunch, and then just hang out. We enjoyed Adam very much. He was by far the quietest of the bunch, yet he connected. He played with my kids, helped clean up after the meal, and made himself at home. I enjoyed his quiet, calm, down to earth sincerity. I admire him for seeking the Word and church fellowship while in the service. He was a blessing to us, a strong defender of liberty and justice, and a credit to his family.

It was almost 20 years ago that I nervously walked into the Eastman home for my first EVER babysitting job. I don’t recall many of the details, but what I do remember is stubborn little adorable Adam giving me the run-around as I attempted to get him to bed! After many, MANY attempts to get him to stay in his bed, I succumbed to his incessant pleas, and allowed him to sleep on the couch next to me. Not wanting to admit my total failures as a (first time) babysitter, I found a way to haul him up the stairs and back into bed before Scott and Lisa returned home (phew!).
Fortunately, I was able to enjoy those sweet kids for many years to come. I was privileged to have the opportunity to watch Adam (and Elisabeth and Chris) grow up. I am so grateful for the memories that spunky, hilarious, beautiful Adam instilled upon my life.
Scott and Lisa – thank you for sharing your amazing boy with me. My heart aches for you all as you miss him so terribly.
And thank you, Adam, for teaching me so many lessons – one of which being perseverance!!! It still doesn’t seem real. But I hold onto the faith that I will see you again. We WILL see you again. And I will persevere until then.
I love you, Eastman family.

Wow, after reading about the medals he earned, I am even more proud of this amazing young man than I was before! Scott & Lisa, what a credit to you as parents and to your God that you serve faithfully. I have many memories of Adam as a young child while working alongside the family in ministry when RRCC started. The “church in the box” thing wasn’t easy for any of us but especially difficult for the young ones. I remember trying to console him a lot. Soon, as he grew, his humor began to emerge and sometimes with quips that were beyond his years! You could see that his eyes had a glimmer of mischief! I was privileged to be one of his youth leaders during his high school years. He was a man of few words and a fierce competitor especially at Ultimate Frisbee and other games. We enjoyed hosting him and other students at our house on the lake, many times over the years and he ALWAYS dared Lowell to flip him off the tube! I am convinced that he is a warrior in the courts of the King, while welcomed by his Grandma Linda! “Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of His saints.” Psalm 116:15

I had the rare treasure of teaching Adam fifth and sixth grade Sunday school. Considering it was my first time teaching Sunday school, suffice it to say…I was a bit overwhelmed and felt inadequate for the task. Adam and his childhood bud, Aaron, made it even more challenging. These two wise guys were worlds ahead of me in their biblical knowledge and on a different planet as nearly middle school boys. But lest you think I’m reflecting on this time together as a negative time. On the contrary, this was one of my most favorite times as a Sunday school teacher. To have these boys offer me a moment of their time and to share a brief glimmer that what I was teaching was reaching them was one of the greatest gifts I could have received. To catch a glimpse of Adam’s sheepish grin was such a treasure.
Adam…you lived a brief life and for that I’m truly saddened. You will be missed yet your life was one worth living. You were a blessing to many.
I look forward to seeing you again in heaven.

It seems like last year, but must be more, according to the calendar. I was walking out of L.A. Fitness to my car. About 20 feet away, I saw Adam Eastman walking toward his car, coming from the direction of the military recruiting office across the parking lot. I called out to him, half in jest, “Adam Eastman- why are you walking out of that office!?!” He slow his gait and replied with a huge grin on his face. “I’m headed to boot camp next week as a Marine.” I actually shuddered, thinking quickly about all that was going on in the middle east and how much his family loved him. “You had to do Marines, huh? You be careful now!” He laughed and smiled again- from ear to ear. “Oh, I will!”
And I knew he would.
How horrid and unacceptable it is when we lose those we love- especially in bizarre circumstances. These times could be the absolute definition of faith in God. There are many examples, experiences- but when we can’t even fathom…when there is no visible reason… He intercedes for us…in groanings beyond words. I think this is such a time.
We love you.
God give you peace.
We hope to be at the service.

We are the parents of Joe Jackson KIA from 1/5 OEF, Adam was one of the first Marines we met when the boys came home. He felt our pain and consoled us in our darkest hours. We became very fond of Adam and the sense of humor he portrayed in the time we were together. Our hearts are broken for his Marine brothers, friends and family. He was a great Marine and a fine young man. We will miss him dearly. God Bless and Semper Fidelis!

I never met Adam, but I know Scott and Lisa from High School. If it is true what they say about kids getting the best of both parents, he must have been one special and wonderful son. My heart and prayers go out to the Eastman family and friends. Peace.

My heart is aching to just have one more conversation with you, one more hug, one more smile. You had so many plans and dreams. Oh how we loved you, our first born. Hero, son, brother, friend. You went to sleep and woke up in the presence of Jesus. Love you forever and always my precious son.

Although we have not met we know the pain of a child’s passing.

Our beloved grandson, Adam, we are so proud of you and what you accomplished in your short time here on earth. You were a wonderful and fun baby and little boy and a great friend as you grew older. We have laughed and talked and told stories and we are so sad you are gone. We look forward to Heaven and meeting you again.

We have special memory of Adam from the time as a baby. He and Linda had a special bond and they did many things together. We were on many camping trips where Adam and my grand kids played and fished together. It was fun to see Adam when he hooked a fish and brought into the boat. Watching him grow from a child to a man was special because he had a way of making people feel special. We will truly miss him. The Thietje’s

It was so lovely to hear about Adam and the amazingly blessed life he lived. I remember how Lisa would talk about his love for Jesus and I just know that Adam is just chilling up in heaven with Jesus right now. It is such a blessing that he spent his life protecting our country, our faith, and the family that he loved.
