MOUNT PLEASANT, WI — The family of Adam Biddle say he was in the "prime of his life" when he became infected with the coronavirus and lost a three-week battle with the disease, COVID-19.

According to a FOX 6 report, Biddle was 35 years old, was recently married and was looking to start a family. "There are many that feel that it's never going to happen to them, so they continue to joke, and make fun of it, and that concerns me," Biddle's mother, Colleen Kane said in the report. "We don't want this to happen to someone else because it wasn't taken seriously."

According to his obituary posted online, Biddle lost a three-week battle with the coronavirus. He was admitted to the Ascension Southeast Hospital in Franklin, and died from COVID-19 on April 11.
