Adam is survived by his parents, Richard and Carol (Markus) Zwart of Zumbrota, MN and his brothers, Benjamin (Alison) Zwart of Lakeville, MN and Zachary (Shauna) Zwart of Edina, MN.

He was the Project Coordinator at Hamline University in St. Paul, MN.

Adam was the proud uncle of Olivia (10), Julia (7), Clara (7), Adalynn (3) and Jackson Zwart (1). His family will remember him by his thoughtfulness, kind heart and big, booming laugh. He was an avid Minnesota sports fan and was an amazing son, brother, uncle, and friend. Everyone loved Adam and wanted to be around him because of his great sense of humor.

Dear Zwart Family-


I want to extend my deepest condolences to you. I was shocked and saddened today to hear of Adam's passing. Although he and I did not work in the same department at Hamline, there were several projects we were able to work on together. I appreciated the conversations Adam and I had throughout the years.


My thoughts and prayers are with you.

Dick, Carol and Family, it is with great sadness that we hear of Adam's passing. Our thoughts and prayers are with you. There is sadness today and maybe for many tomorrows, but someday the thoughts of your son, Adam, will again bring smiles to your face as you remember the precious time with him on earth. 


God Bless you all,

Dear Zwart family-


Please accept my condolences on Adam's passing. I was fortunate to work with him at Hamline University on a number of facilities projects that enhanced the physical environment in the library and other campus buildings. Everyone enjoyed working with him and appreciated the care he gave to get projects completed.  May God hold you in His arms and provide you comfort during this difficult time.

Dear Zwart family,


I did not know Adam well but work at Hamline University and wanted to send along my sincere condolences on your loss.  I hope that, with time, you are able to take comfort in your memories of Adam.  May his memory be a blessing.


Amanda

Our thoughts and prayers go out to you all, as you reflect and share Adam's life with all of us.  Words cannot express our love and deep feelings for you!  We want so much, to be an encouragement to you, Carol and Dick, and to the rest of your family.  You all mean so much to us.  We know Adam thru you, and your love and pride for him as you have shared him with us was so apparent over the years.  I recently took a picture of your family home, that I found here at work.  (you Carol had left it in a frame :) when you asked me to pray for Adam I took it home as a reminder. What wonderful smiles and such a happy loving family.  You are so blessed to have each other to share and continue to love and share your precious memories of Adam.  You know I thought today, being in Construction and Planning I am sure he is helping get all your mansions ready in heaven. 


I am always reminded of a song (who would have thought) in moments like these.  the chorus is:


Just think, of stepping on shore and finding it Heaven


Of taking a hand, and finding it God's


Of breathing new air and finding it celestial


Of waking up in Glory, and finding it home.


 


We love you!!! Stephanie Halverson and Family


 

Richard and Carol,


I am so sorry for your loss of your dear son. His joy for life certainly came from both of you, as you show it daily in your generous spirit. While your faith will see you through, this is so difficult to accept and I want to extend my deepest sympathy. Know that you are all in my prayers.

I'm sad to hear the news of Adam passing away.  I'll always remember fondly the summer nights of playing kick the can, soccer, etc in your front yard and in the neighborhood on Hollins Ave in Lakeville with Adam and the neighborhood kids.  Our thoughts and prayers are with you.

Adam you will be missed by everyone whose life you have touch. A gentle giant with a quick wit, huge sense of humor and a great laugh. The BNL Fantasy Football will never be the same my friend.
