Guardsman dies of apparent heart attack in Iraq
Associated Press
MOORESVILLE, N.C. — A 42-year-old Mooresville man who was almost four months into his tour in Iraq has died after apparently suffering a heart attack, his family said.
Leonard Adams, a former body builder and competitive weightlifter, was assigned to the Army National Guard’s 105th Military Police Battalion, 18th Military Police Brigade, out of Asheville, according to the Department of Defense.
Adams had served in the reserves for 22 years and already passed his retirement mark, said Jana Adams, his ex-wife who was married to him for 14 years.
He had never been deployed overseas until Oct. 6, when he went to work at Camp Bucca, a detention center.
“I didn’t want him to go. Nobody wanted him to go,” Jana Adams said. “He said it was time to earn the pay he’d earned all those years.”

Prayers & Condolences For: Leonard W. Adams BY simplehung63 on Jun 07, 2005 Dear Leonard,
I am sorry "you went" in a way and glad "you went" in another. You died doing what you believed in...even if I don't. God bless you and rest in peace on that. You could have gone anywhere...but you crossed over where you wanted to be.
May you rest in peace and may your family be comforted in that you were doing what you wanted.
Sincerely,
Mary

Blue C. Rowe
I am the Chaplain, along with 1SG Obalabi, who made this notification. This was my fifth death notification in 2009. I remembered this one like it was yesterday, and I routinely think about 1SG Rowe’s wife and their son, who was seven at the time. This notification stands out to me because we had to come back to the house a few times because no one was home. We finally saw a light on around 2130, and I and 1SG O went to the door and knocked. 1SG Rowe’s wife answered the door, and it was clear that his wife was not registering why we were there. She did invite us, and we sat down at the table, and ISG O made the notification. 1SG Rowe’s wife said, "Are you sure?" She asked that question five times, and I finally said, " Ma’am, we would not be here if we were not sure. Her response to us was, I just spoke to him a couple of days ago, and he was supposed to come home next week. She immediately got up from the table, called her dad, and notified him. She collapsed to the floor and was crying. The 1SG and I just stood there. We were there for a while, and I remembered that when she asked me to pray, I had to pause a few times to keep from losing it. Cindy, I thought about your husband through the years, and I often wondered how you and your son are doing. I have often prayed for you and your family. And I thank your husband for his sacrifice to our country. I do hope you see this, and I will continue to pray for you and your family.
God Bless You

Philip A. Murphy-Sweet
Phil worked for me when he volunteered to deploy to Iraq with the Joint Contracting Command. He was a great officer, a great friend and an incredible husband/father. He was just a couple of days away from returning from his deployment. I received an email from him on 5 April requesting to stay a bit longer so he could finish the job started. I had not yet responded to his email when I was notified by our Commanding Office on Easter morning that Phil had been killed. Miss you Phil!

Jose Ricardo Flores-Mejia
It's been 20 years since your passing... However, I never forgotten the day you told me I am married, I am going to have a baby, and day your son was born... You touched some many lives in different ways in your brief time on this earth in ways others can't imagine... Some people can be given a life time on this earth and accomplish nothing, and there are some people who are given a short time and accomplish so much... You Mr. Flores-Mejia aka Ricky was that person and soldier who accomplish so much in your shoft tme... As I see the days pass by, and the war seems to be a distant memory, your memory is still alive in my life, and still on this and like other days with my grandchildren I sit back like we did many times and listen to those West Coast oldies... "Never Forgotten"
Frank E. Adamski III
