Adam Wayne Mortenson was born on September 25, 1993 in St. Cloud, MN to Sandra Barthel and Richard Mortenson of Swanville, MN. He attended Swanville schools and graduated from Walter H. Maginnis High School in Red Wing, MN. Adam went on to work with our family owned tree service, then went onto Wells Concrete in Albany, Oleson’s Tree Service, and B4K Tree Industries. Adam had a passion for his family, especially his twin brother, Aaron, his son, Colton, and his nieces and nephews. He loved outdoor activities such as fishing, hunting, hiking in the woods, and collecting agates. Adam loved music, loud trucks and cars, and climbing trees. He had a passion for animals, especially his dog Annie. Adam had a talent for fixing things and building things. He always found himself bringing back extra treasures he didn’t need. Adam loved traveling with his brother, Aaron to see other states and their scenery. He loved being around children and his family, sharing his talents and teaching them new things. Adam had a heart of gold and would help anyone with anything. He had a sense of humor, always lighting up the room when he walked in with his silliness. Adam will be forever remembered for his beautiful smile and generous spirit. His family will forever be thankful for the love he showed them and all of the beautiful memories, which they will cherish forever. Adam was a good man, but he was a broken man that battled with many struggles and was unable to cope anymore.
