Adam was born November 28, 1979 in Lafayette, Louisiana, the son of Margaret Inez “Peggy” Loomis. He attended schools in Lafayette and Texas and graduated from Tomball High School, Tomball, Texas, in 1998. In 2001, Adam returned to Lafayette and attended USL. Adam was employed in the oil industry and went to work with his grandfather at Southern Wireline (now Gray Wireline) and worked there for over the past ten years. Adam was a hard worker, with an engaging, friendly personality, and a ready smile for everyone. Prior to his injury, sustained while employed with Gray Wireline, Adam''s life-long membership to a fitness gym, beginning at age 16, along with his strong belief system, were crucial factors to his survival of the February 14, 2012, job-related accident.
Adam''s grandparents Mary Catherine Pitchford and Gene C. Loomis, Sr. were instrumental in molding and shaping Adam into the fine man he grew to be. His grandmother was a constant and vital source of strength and comfort during the thirty-two years we were blessed to have Adam in our lives and especially during the past eight and a half months.
He played high school football, was an avid Saints fan and loved those Ragin Cajuns. Adam was a devoted father to his daughter, Emma Catherine, and a loving son, brother, and grandson. His daughter was the pride and joy of his life.
Adam is survived by his daughter, Emma Catherine; his mother, Margaret Inez "Peggy" Loomis of Galveston, Texas; his fiancée, Angela M. Toncrey, his former wife and mother of Emma, Kayla A. Loomis of Lafayette; his brother, Andrew Michael Hosseini of Houston, Texas; his sister; Angela Marie Gurske and nephew, Matthew Patrick Moreno of Tomball, Texas. He also leaves his maternal grandmother, Mary Catherine Pitchford Loomis; aunts, Patricia, Camille, Liz and Sue; uncles, Gene, John Charles, Robert and wife Liz, William and Richard, who are all Loomis''s; cousins, Jason Loomis and wife, Tara; Erik Loomis and wife, Sara, and Dane Lomis, all of California. Adam was anticipating and would have been fortunate to call Tereena, Lee, and Christian Gary his in-laws. A note of thanks to Malaine Broussard, Emma''s maternal grandmother, for help with his daughter. Adam also leaves his beloved dog, Zoe.
Adam was preceded in death by his grandfather, Gene C. Loomis, Sr., and his uncle, Stephen Patrick Loomis.
