This morning at 3:36AM, my close friend Adam Woodcock died in a car accident.
He was a very bright, funny and very talented young man, who had an amazing future ahead of him. Anyone who met him would’ve known that. I personally will never forget the time we shared, Adam, James, Stuart, Martin, Dave and me. Our parties, our matches, the time we spent in the Prefects room in Borden, the time we spent in Borden as a whole, General Study lessons, Maths lessons, terrorising Mr Smith. It will never be forgotten.
You will never be forgotten.
Goodbye dear friend. You are sorely missed.

Adam, you will be missed dearly by your family, and your friends. You were a person who was very important to many people. We will all miss you with the greatest of sorrow. I will miss you. Many tears have fell for you and you will always be in our hearts. Rest in peace my good friend, we will always remember you, you will never be forgotten.
Well said Dave.
Rest in peace my friend.
James.

I dont really no adam much iv seen him in skool a few times, but i wanted 2 leave sank outa respect 4 him: im sure adam will be sorely missed by every1 and i hope that his loved ones can feel better in the knowin that every1s put all this effot in. R.I.P adam.
I can’t really say any more than what has already been said. Adam made Year 8 Maths quite fun, winding up Mr. Andrews! But he was an ever-present source of humour in the Prefect Room, so I thank him for that. Hope that wherever you are now, you are still making people laugh. You will be missed.
This just wasn’t fair. It’s such a shock to the system. From the volume of tributes i have seen today i think everyone respected Adam a hell of a lot more than perhaps he realised. I certainly did. And however clichéd this is, it really couldn’t have happened to a nicer guy. I hope that wherever you are, Adam, that you can see just how loved you are back down here. We will remember.
Adam you will be missed by all of us, you were a great guy to have around always up for a laugh. One of the nicest lads ive ever known you didnt deserve anything bad to happen to you.
Rest In Peace
Your Pal Gibbo
i couldnt add anything to the things people have said already. Adam was always a best mate right from about year 2 primary school.
in all those years he never let me down and never let me win at pool, not once. I cant think of any memories of adam that aren’t funny and i’m sure most people would agree with me. i think adam was the main reason most people went along to our dire newington scouts group (those that didnt fancy him certainly admired him). Generally he was always getting injured (blocking a hockey shot with his face) usually cos he was doing something insane because he had no fear, and always came out smiling. I have some great memories from those years and Borden has too many to begin to mention…although I will highlight his creamy flan face fight with Ian in the form room!
Adam - for always making us smile, for sharing your lunch (usually intentionally) when I forgot mine, for making the last like 16 years so much more than just memories - thank you
i’ll miss ya mate
Its takin me ages to write this, wot more can i say that hasn’t already been sed? Adam u will b sorely missed by everybody, u were a real top bloke. Thanks for all of the memories, especially of the last few weeks, ur birthday was a classic!! Ive lost my drinking buddy and one of my best friends, i miss u already. Uni’s not gonna b the same without u. My thoughts are with ur family at this awful time. Goodbye mate, u’ll never b forgotten.
Hey its a shock to realise that this can happen to any of us. Even those who don’t deserve anything sometimes get it.
Adam was a good mate, always ready to help, but most importantly always there to laugh and joke.
I hope whereever he is he is happy, and can see the love from us left behind.
Rest forever happy m8
thank you all so much .i cannot tell you the pain and emotions I am feeling but also i am so grateful to of loved him so deeply, but it has given me so much comfort to know so many friends felt the same- as me thank you again
memories grow more precious still when loved ones have to part and remain forever blooming in the gardens of our hearts
Words cannot describe how lovely Adam was and how much he will be missed. He was not only like a brother to me but also as he once said my “bestest” friend. We had a “special” relationship and one that was important to us both. The memories of the last 6 months will be with me forever, and i must say that the 6 months i spent with Adam were easily the best 6 months of my life. He brought so much joy and laughter into peoples lives and altho i remember the good times and will cherish the memories it will be very hard to live a life without him. However large the gap he has left in our lives, we must remember how he filled a huge gap just by being part of it. I will love you forever Adam, your “special” Emily xxxxxxxxx
Rest in peace Adam, i’ll miss ya mate!
I used to see Adam in the car park and at mungo’s, just a word to say that through this website and http://www.adamrocked.co.uk, you honour him a lot and show people how lovely he were … i’m deeply sorry and today i only thought of what happened to him, i hate winter now and he didn’t deserve it …noone does but he looked such a funny guy God bless him
I didnt know adam so well as all of u but i will neva forget the time i met him first, he drove us to libbys 18th i remember arrivin in the car park to the sound of electric six n gay bar playin so loud it felt like the whole world cud hear us, the pikeys in the car park were so obviously impressed such happy memories, u will b greatly missed adam r.i.p x x x
I still cannot believe this, Adam was such a top bloke, he was always up for a laugh. I am so glad that I had the privilege of knowing him, of calling him a friend, from his, now infamous or famous, fish/cake/whatever type of food fights with Ian to a great weekend at the Reading Festival, the car journey on the way there and Adam trying to find somewhere to “go” in Central London on a Bank Holiday Monday at about 5pm and leaving him behind, temporarily, when he finally did will forever be some of the funniest things I’ve ever witnessed or been a part of. He was such a legend, and will forever be.
Goodbye mate, you’ll be missed.
I met adam on the first day of university and can honestly say that everytime I saw him since then he done nothing but make me laugh. He was always smiling or laughing at something and I couldnt help myself from laughing with him. I will always remember the laughs we shared and the nights out especially the night out in london in the irish pub and his birthday in the penny theatre, they were without a shadow of a doubt were the best nights out of my time here in university and in england. He was without doubt the nicest person I have met with never a bad word to say about anyone or anything. Its still so hard to believe that we will never hear that laugh again. R.I.P SLAN LEAT
Although i didn’t know Adam as well as every one on here i did know him and got on with him, couldn’t believe it when i heard. Such a tragedy, my thoughts are with his family and close friends.
Rest in peace mate.
i didnt really know adam that well. the only serious length of time i spent with him was over reading festival last summer, you didn’t need a serious length of time to get to know adam, he was happy to talk , laugh and be funny with you straight away. he was one of the happyist, funnyist people i have ever met. i also think its amazing the amount of effort that everybody has gone to with this website and http://www.adamrocked.co.uk, he clearly was as funny and pleasant as he seemed and meant a lot to people.
I will always remember Adam for his partaking in our angel cake fights in the form room, his quick wit and the way he used to terrorise Mr Smith in Economics making the lesson that little bit more bearable. He was a great guy and although i was not as close to him as others i know he was an amazing bloke. The fact that i’m the other side of the world and have found out just shows how loved as a person he was and that he’ll never be forgotten.
Rest in Peace Mate,
Ian
i was not a close friend of Adams, however i was in the same form as him at borden in the 6th form. I always remembered him as a friendly and well liked bloke. Even though i am on the other side of the world the news was a real shock to the system and im sure Adam will be sorely missed by many. My thoughts go to his family and i hope that he is in a better place.
In case anyone wants it, I have found the video from the last day of sixth form. You can download it by clicking here.

I left a message on the other website, but I just have to post something here too…
It hasn’t sunk in yet… even my Mum can’t believe that it happened. I got to know Adam at Borden, mostly because we used to live right near each other. Oh the memories of playing Pokémon at his house (how sad that was). He was funny, generous, and one amazing Enemy Territory player, he taught me a few things during the short time I was playing it. Heh, now that I think about it, I lent him a game before I left Borden, but never really asked for it back. :-)
Farewell Adam. You definitely won’t be forgotten by me.
hello everyone, it’s taken me a while to put anything on the site but now i feel i want to. Adam was an amazingly generous guy and I will always remember how nice he was. I never saw him angry always happy and content. My nights out at the works with everyone on a monday were always made by adam, either sitting around smelling my perfume bottle or proping me up at the bar and lining up shots for me as everyones telling him its really not a good idea! I know that all you wanted was for everyone to have a good time. The happiness you bought me will never be forgotten.
Oh Adam how i miss your smile and good will,
You’ll always be in my heart xxx
This is a shock to us .He was so young and intelligent and comical.We will always remember the great times we had together with him.Also the laughs we had with him.He was so loving and caring to us.Our hearts go out to all his family because they must be in so much pain and shock. we will always remember him.He will always be in our thoughts and hearts. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
