Adam Christopher Capers was born on December 22, 1968 in Cleveland, Ohio to Darrel Capers, Sr. and Debra Coleman, just eight minutes ahead of his twin brother Alan. He departed this life on July 3, 2017 in Okinawa, Japan at the age of 48. Adam was a 1988 James Ford Rhodes High School graduate; he attended his beloved alma-mater Capital University in Columbus, Ohio and received his Bachelor’s Degree in Political Science in 1996.
Adam was always known as an all-around great guy with a big heart. Adam married his wife Stacey in 2000, two years after he had a serendipitous meeting with her father in 1998. Their union produced two children, Arielle and Evan. Family was Adam’s highest priority. He loved being a father and made sure he spent memorable moments with his family – whether it was playing Legos with his son, taking long drives with his daughter just to talk, or sharing funny stories about his childhood, or going on runs/walks with his wife. He also enjoyed cooking breakfast on the weekends while often Skyping family members; he enjoyed watching Westerns, Sci-Fi movies, and Big 10 games. His other favorite pastime on Saturday evenings was to watch historical profiles and “extreme” reality TV shows on Discovery Channel and National Geographic. A devoted Clevelander, he could tell you anything about the city and is a die-hard fan of the Indians, the Browns, and Cavaliers.

WOODBRIDGE — A Woodbridge high school student turned down $150,000 in scholarship money to a prestigious school only to end up with more cash to attend the school of her dreams.
Shekinah Reese, 17, is a straight-A student who in June graduated Woodbridge Senior High School in Lake Ridge. She was captain of her high school dance team, a member of the track and field team, and attended Metropolitan School of the Arts for nine years to train in various levels of dance. She was also selected for the Center for the Fine and Performing Arts specialty program at Woodbridge Senior High School.
