Oh. Wow what terrible news. His videos and podcasts with Mark are some of the best ways to learn about this hobby. I will miss his sense of humor and knowledge. RIP Jake.

Can't believe this. Jake was so young and always full of helpful inspiration. The lord must need a reef tank built.
Rest in Peace Jake
Condolences to his family and friends. I’m deeply saddened by this news. He was one of my favorite reefing tubers. Had a talent to transmit his vast knowledge so easily. Definitely inspired me to be a better reefer. RIP Jake, you will be missed.
Condolences to family and friends. May he rest in peace. Jake was an icon of the industry. I followed his teachings since I entered into the hobby
those are some lifeless people who are not even reef keepers trying to milk the platform for some views, some of the videos even mixed him up with another jake adams that died in a car/motorcycle crash.
They even said many hurtful and disgusting things that are not true.
I believe there's another Jake Adams being mentioned in the google search results from 2021 hence there may be a mix up on what people find on the internet. But this thread is unfortunately accurate.
no what I meant to say there are people making news videos about our jake adams, while mixing both.
search it on youtube.
no words for this.
I can’t believe this….
The things he put his hands and innovating thinking to will feel his absence.

this is what happens when you get your news updates from YouTube. People are basically online rubbernecking.
There are no updates, people need to let information come out as it is discovered and when the family sees fit. Nobody knows anything other than he passed while travelling to Bali. That’s it.
Bottom line sucks!! The guy was a positive force for the hobby and new hobbyists

Don’t post too often, but this is shocking and truly awful. I was just listening to his podcast last night on the plane. Rest In Peace. Best to his family.
This news just gutted me. It’s weird because I’ve never met him. But so much of what Jake represented resonated with me. He represents this reef culture of community and sharing, which is awesome. Thanks for what you shared with us. RIP

This is very heavy news. I can't imagine the pain his family is dealing with today.

I think the cause for his sudden passing isn’t really our business. It’s a tragic event and we should respect the family. If they wish to disclose any further detail then so b it. His body of work will always be cherished and remembered. God bless.
Heard this news yesterday and even though I never met him I feel like I've lost a friend. RIP Jake I hope we can all celebrate your life like you would want us to.
Why are random sites and YouTube channels getting involved in it I don’t understand. They are the one causing the confusion, yes it is true that there are two Jake adams and it is also true that both of them passed away.
They are in no way helping when mixing the two up especially that the two of them have completely opposite professions and left different impacts on the people around them.
I am also in disbelief and wish if the news aren’t true, but death is the unavoidable reality and our time will eventually come.

Jake was my go to for a refresher and how things had changed in the hobby during my 15 years away. What a resource and depth of knowledge. Your legacy shall live on and your family will be in our thoughts and prayers.
People say you are only loved your most at death & I believe the community getting together for jakes passing proves how valued he is. I am only a casual reefer but his death has hit me hard.i have learnt so much from his videos & am so grateful to have learnt from his presence. Rest in peace jake adams. One od the most influencing refers in our community. Swim in peace
