Memorial Skydive

A Memorial Skydive is scheduled for Sunday November the 18th at Skydive Taft. There were two members of the family who unfortunately never got the opportunity to jump with Adam, so this will be the closest thing they will have and remember him for what many of us were able to enjoy with him.

Weather permitting, we will start around 12:00 noon with a short memorial video of Adam's accomplishments and life, proceeded with one or more memorial jumps in his honor.

Visit http://skydivetaft.com/ for directions and skydiving information.
