Adam Trax

Adam John Trax passed away on April 12, 2025, in Greensburg, Pennsylvania suddenly at the age of 42. Born on December 14, 1982, in Pittsburgh, PA, Adam brought joy and laughter to those around him from an early age.

Known for his playful spirit and infectious humor, Adam delighted others with silly poses and lighthearted jokes throughout his life. He loved being in the any kind of water, whether swimming in pools or playing in the ocean and skim boarding. He experienced cherished summers at camp filled with fun and friendship. His love of camping and fishing continued from childhood into adulthood. 

Adam also liked to work with his hands. He worked in construction for many years before becoming a freelance tattoo artist and manufacturing employee. 

Adam had a passion for arcades and a remarkable artistic talent. From sketching cars and animals, to developing beautiful handwriting, his creativity shined through. He was a very skilled tattoo artist. He was a strong student who consistently earned A’s and B’s during his school years. Later in life, he discovered a love for grilling and cooking over wood fires. 

Adam was an avid Steelers fan as many of our fellow Pittsburghers are. He watched every game he was able to watch. 

He held a deep love for his mother and remained devoted throughout his life. In recent years, Adam found strength in faith, seeking a closer relationship with Jesus Christ through daily sermons and spiritual reflection.

Adam was deeply committed to making a difference in his children’s lives. Those who knew him will remember his good heart, unwavering warmth, and the kindness he extended to others.
