Bob Leon Adams, age 92, passed away on December 28, 2025, at his residence surrounded by his loving family. He was born in Adamsville, Florida on September 1, 1933, to P.G. and Hazel Davis Adams.
In 1972, he moved to Reidsville, Georgia, where he and his beloved wife, Betty, founded Adams Tractor Company. Together, they built a legacy that served their community until the business closed its doors in 2009. Leon’s commitment to his work was matched only by his passion for wood and metalworking, where he found joy in tinkering and creating. He was a master at his craft, turning everyday materials into remarkable pieces with precision and care.
Throughout his life, Leon’s warmth and spirit touched many. His engaging personality and unwavering kindness left a mark not only on those who knew him personally but also on the many customers who came to admire his handiwork. Leon was a pillar in his community, and his contributions reached far beyond his trade.
He was of the Baptist faith and is preceded in death by his parents; his wife of 74 years, Betty Adams; his siblings, Elva Elwell, Carl Adams, Jerry Adams, and Billy Adams.
He is survived by his sons and daughters in law, Paul and Chris Adams of Reidsville, John and Deborah Adams of Warrenton; granddaughter, Kandyce Reynolds; great granddaughters, Shelby Clifton and Skylar Reynolds; and great great granddaughter, Ruthie Tootle; several nieces and nephews.
