Adam Towne

SUTTON – Adam John Towne, 38, died Thursday, April 13, 2017, at UMass Memorial Medical Center – University Campus in Worcester, surrounded by his family. He is survived by his daughter, Hayden M. Towne of Sutton; his parents, Robert E. and Gail A. (Ushinski) Towne III of Sutton; two brothers, Christopher R. Towne and his wife Jodi of Thompson, CT, and Matthew J. Towne and his wife Susan of Chelmsford; a sister, Rebecca E. McBreen and her husband John of Bolton; his maternal grandmother, Marion E. Ushinski of Sutton; his nephews Jarrett, Jack and Thomas; his nieces Katelyn, Abigail, Emily, Shea and Bridget; his close companion, Jackie; and Hayden’s sister Hannah.

Adam was born in Hartford, CT, and lived most of his life in Sutton. He graduated from Holy Name High School in Worcester in 1996 and attended Southern New Hampshire University. He then started his cooking career at Worcester Country Club followed by many other restaurants and country clubs throughout Worcester County. He was proud to become an Executive Chef by 25. Adam most recently enjoyed working at Southwick’s Zoo in Mendon.

Adam enjoyed playing basketball, golf, fishing, and creative cooking. Adam was hard working and had a strong desire to help. His heart was as big as he was and he loved to tease his Nana-banana. Above all, the center of his world was his precious little girl Hayden.

Most of us need a long life to make a loving and positive impart. Some, however, achieve this in a shorter time. That was how our Adam did it. His consideration and respect of others along with his underlying love of his family and friends was second to none. It is now his turn to be at peace with his grandparents and Uncle Bo. Amen, Adam. Amen.

His family would like to thank Dr. Wong and his team at UMass Memorial Medical Center for their exceptional care and compassion during Adam’s illness.
