I just got word that Adam Reinke passed away on the 24th, after entering the hospital on the 23rd.
That's really all I know at this time. His wife posted it on social media, so it should be OK to share.

I am sure some old timers here remember Adam better than I. First time I met him was at a Brown County Rally 14, 15 years ago.
And I spent time with him at couple other rallys. He was a very fun guy to spend time with.

Originally from the Chicago area, he was living in Asheville, NC when I met him.
Adam loved his wife and son, liked motorcycles, cars, beer. He was a heck of beer brewer, and also judged beer contests.
A few years ago, Adam and his family moved to Portland, OR. They seemed really happy there.

Adam was 43 or 44 I think, was married to Missy for 20+ years, and their son is 7.

This is heart Breaking. I met Adam at my first Brown County Rally in 2007 and rode with him many times in Indiana, Kentucky, West Virginia and elsewhere. Fun guy, RIP Adam and condolences to the family.

Adam was probably the first friend I had from this forum. I rode with him at the first BCR I experienced, and I roomed with him a couple times. The last ride with him was the last Southeast rally where we roomed together. He and I 'seagulled' a few motorcycles one year at the BCR, and we had an indepth conversation b about 'canonical' Star Wars lore. He was a truly special dude. I always thought we'd get to hang together again. Rest well AOD!
