Obituary: Adam Gregoire, 23, Of Chelmsford

CHELMSFORD, MA – It is with great sadness that the family of Adam M. Gregoire, 23, of Chelmsford, MA and Windham, NH, announces he passed away on Tuesday May 8, 2018 as a result of an automobile accident. He was the beloved son of Rodney Gregoire and Mary Mulder, stepson of Katherine Gregoire and Guy Mulder, younger brother of Matthew Gregoire and twin brother of Abbygail Gregoire.

It is almost impossible to put into words how gentle, warm-natured, and kind Adam was. He knew how to look on the bright side of things even when others only saw clouds. He was a champion for the underdog and was a supportive friend to all, especially those in the midst of struggle. Adam had the uncanny ability to put people together that normally would never have a natural connection and somehow facilitate common ground between them. There was no one in this world who could compete with his charm or his keen ability to use puns at exactly the perfect moment. He will be missed each and every day.

Adam was a very talented musician who grew more defined in his skills with each passing year. An avid participant in a musician’s circuit throughout the Merrimack Valley, Adam often could be found performing at local open mic events. Although guitar was his primary instrument, Adam was not limited to just strings. His musical artistry ranged from harmonica and percussion to mandolin and violin. While not entertaining his family and friends with his humor, or strumming in a venue, Adam could be found enjoying nature while hiking in the White Mountains of NH or the Adirondack region of New York. During the summer you could often find Adam barefoot at a music festival in the Northeast. To honor Adam's beautiful memory, please attend a concert and think of him, as music was Adam's heart and soul.

In addition to his parents and siblings, Adam is survived by his paternal grandmother, Barbara Gregoire of Plattsburgh, NY; maternal grandfather, Ralph Senecal, Jr. of Plattsburgh, NY; step grandmother, Natalie Fogarty of Laconia, NH; many loving aunts, uncles, and numerous cousins; as well as an amazing tapestry of devoted friends. He was predeceased by his grandfather, Norman Gregoire, grandmother, June Kathryn Senecal and his beloved Kasandra Rodriguez.

Visitation will be held on Sunday May 13, 2018 from 3 until 7 PM in the BLAKE CHELMSFORD FUNERAL HOME, 24 Worthen Street, CHELMSFORD. A Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated on Monday morning at 11 AM in St. Mary Parish, 25 North Road, CHELMSFORD. KINDLY MEET DIRECTLY AT CHURCH. Interment will be held privately. In lieu of flowers, please consider a donation to: Chelmsford Friends of Music, CFOM, PO Box 145 Chelmsford, MA 01824.
