He found joy in outreach, Bible study, and attending church. He especially cherished quality time with his family. Joyful and full of life, Oziel was always laughing, playing, and seeking new adventures. He wanted to do everything his dad was doing. He excelled at school and gave his best to every task.

Eli Jadon Adams was as bold as a person could be—but also incredibly kind. A fearless and fierce child of God, Eli had a strong spirit and a mind of his own. He was an author, co-writing the book My Bones From School with his mom, Tara. Adventurous by nature, Eli had a deep love for the outdoors and all kinds of animals—from reptiles to insects. He played T-ball and soccer. He especially enjoyed fishing with his dad, Justin, and his older brother, Oziel. Eli was very inquisitive—the kind of child who always asked “why” and “how” to gain a better understanding. A true learner, he absorbed knowledge quickly and even taught himself many things. He was a brilliant thinker, wise beyond his years. He loved going to outreach with his parents and brother, and he never hesitated to speak boldly about Jesus to anyone who would listen. He adored his mom, often calling her “my queen” and “princess.” Eli also loved to build and construct things, always creating with curiosity and imagination. Eli was a beautiful blend of boldness, brilliance, and tenderness—a light to all who knew him.

Forever in His Presence. Always in Our Hearts.

Ozi’s Place

“One thing about Ozi is his ability to capture your attention when he talks to you. He will take you to church.” -Mrs. Price

February 26, 2026 will forever be so memorable. Oziel’s school, Central Elementary School, along with the staff and students, chose to honor and remember him in such a beautiful, thoughtful, and meaningful way on what would have been his 8th birthday.

A special thank you to Mrs. Price, Oziel’s ag teacher. “Ozi’s Place” is now part of CES’s legacy.

From the beautiful popcorn tree planted in his honor — yes, it truly smells like popcorn! — to the colorful hopscotch, bug tic-tac-toe, stones measuring his age, the rocks painted by his classmates to create a garden snake, and the beautiful garden and flowers… every detail was filled with love.

His legacy lives on.
He made such an impact.
He was so loved and is dearly missed.
