Bryan Adcock Obituary

Bryan Hughes Adcock, 48, passed away at 11:42 p.m. on April 19, 2026, at Northwestern Hospital in Chicago, Illinois.

Bryan was born on March 8, 1978, in Pompano Beach, Florida.

He lived a life defined by connection, warmth, and an unwavering positivity that impacted everyone around him. Bryan never met a stranger - his infectious laugh, genuine kindness, and magnetic personality made others feel instantly at ease.

He is survived by the love of his life and soulmate, Shannon Sullivan Adcock, and their three beautiful children, Charlie, Johnny, and Josephine, who were the center of his world. Bryan also leaves behind his father, Shelly (Leslie); his mother, (Carolyn MacDonell); his sister, Jennifer; and his brother, Justin (Vandi), along with many extended family members and close friends who will deeply miss him. The family would also like to thank the Courtney family and Helitech for their support throughout the years.

A lifelong St. Louisan, Bryan lived fully and intentionally. He traveled the world, celebrated life's moments both big and small, and had a passion for bringing people together. Whether it was cooking the best steak you've ever tasted, sharing his love of music, or spending a day on the golf course-including a few memorable hole-in-one-moments-of-glory-Bryan created experiences that people will never forget. He was also a devoted St. Louis Cardinals fan.

Bryan cherished time spent with family and friends above all else. He touched the soul of everyone fortunate enough to know him. His legacy of love, laughter, and generosity will live on through the many lives he impacted.

In accordance with his wishes, Bryan will be cremated, and his ashes will be spread at his beloved Jacks Fork River.

Memorial service/celebration of life details are pending.

In lieu of flowers, the Adcock family requests donations can be made to support the education funds of Charlie, Johnny and Josephine. www.gofundme.com/f/honoring-bryan-adcocks-legacy-of-love
