Raymond “Adam” Edeline born February 11,1979 to parents Chester and Alexis Edeline, passed away on September 5, 2024, at the age of 45. 

Born and raised in Eureka, Adam attended Cutten Elementary School, Winship Middle School and graduated from Eureka High School in 1998. During high school Adam had the chance to work on a local ranch, something that stuck with him and he greatly appreciated having had the opportunity to do. After high school Adam worked for a family member doing electric tool repair and then went on to log in Trinity and Humboldt counties. Adam loved logging and being in the woods. He quickly went from setting chokers in the hole to running yarder and clearing cut blocks. When logging slowed, Adam went on to work for Mendes Supply, where he was fortunate enough to work for and alongside two of his closest friends. Adam took great pride in his job and all the friends he made during his time at Mendes.

Adam loved being outdoors. From a young age he participated in Boy Scouts, becoming an Eagle Scout. His love for the outdoors didn’t end with the scouts. Adam loved to hunt, fish, shoot and hike. He was an avid firearm enthusiast and collector. He loved to go shooting with friends and test out whatever new firearm he had recently added to his collection. He could often be found at local antique or secondhand stores, checking out what was new and if there was something he had to add to his safe.

Adam had many interests and a range of skills. There wasn’t a tool he couldn’t fix, saw he wouldn’t run or piece of equipment he’d shy away from operating. He had several hobbies, almost all of which included some sort of hands-on work or chance to learn something new. Anything Adam truly applied himself to became a passion of sorts. Those around him were never surprised by his ever-changing interests and knowledge.

Adam was a very social man. You always knew when he entered a room. He had charm and personality that drew people to him. He had a large group of friends from many different parts of his life. Relationships and friendships were very important to him. Adam left an impact on everyone who had the pleasure to know him and will be greatly missed.

Throughout his entire life Adam maintained a very close relationship with his parents. His mother, Alexis, was his best friend. She was always by his side through thick and thin. Every day, Adam would drop off his beloved dog Marvin with his mom before work. He loved getting to see her twice a day. Adam knew how lucky he was to have his mom’s unconditional love and support.

Adam was close to his father, Chet, as well. Chet was a driving force in his life and Adam always knew he could look to his dad for advice and guidance. Chet loved Shelter Cove and everything the ocean had to offer. Adam spent a lot of time in “The Cove” with Chet, family and friends fishing, and passing the time in good company. Adam looked after and cared for his dad during his final years and battle with cancer. Chet’s passing left a big void in Adam’s heart.

Adam was preceded in death by his father, Chester Edeline.

Adam is survived by his mother, Alexis Edeline; brother, Joshua Edeline, nieces Taylor and Rayne Edeline; brother William Roberson, wife Savannah and nephew Liam Roberson; step-sister Trinity Ponnay, husband Anthony and their children Irely, Brailey and Grayson; uncle, Mike Carroll; aunts, Cynthia Carroll, Suzy Edeline and Seil Stanbrough; his cherished dog Marvin, many cousins and extended family members Bryan Hauan, Sydney Taylor;  Jeff Meyer, Paul Bilock and their families; as well as a large group of friends, far too many to list but all individually appreciated.
