He was raised in Bellaire, Texas, the youngest of four children, and attended Horn Elementary School, Lanier Middle School and Strake Jesuit College Preparatory School. Adam was very active in debate, bringing home numerous awards, while also participating in various sports and activities, with particular interest in philosophy and photography. He loved his summer sessions at Camp Longhorn, Indian Springs and spent his childhood roaming the 4400 block of Acacia with the neighborhood band of kids and contemplating the world while bouncing on the trampoline. Throughout his life, Adam was a constant source of entertainment and wonder to his family, always knowing a lot about everything, no matter how obscure the subject. Adam attended Grinnell College in Iowa, graduating with a B.A. in Computer Science in 2017. After graduation he worked as a developer for Texas Mutual Insurance in Austin, Texas. Adam left his job to consider a different path forward, traveling extensively while also receiving a certificate to teach English as a second language. He died on November 23, 2022, leaving behind a heartbroken family. Adam is survived by his parents, Lisa and Nathan Wesely of Bellaire, his siblings, Sarah Wesely and husband Derick Tisdale of McComb, Mississippi, Kathryn “Kate” Wesely and husband Ben Hancock of San Francisco, California, and John Wesely and wife Alison DiLello of Saratoga Springs, New York, and niece Lucy Tisdale. He is also survived by his grandparents, Constance “Connie” Wesely of Fremont, Nebraska, and Anita and Donald L. Joiner, of Houston, Texas, as well as by numerous aunts, uncles, and cousins, all of who will find family get togethers to have an Adam sized hole as the years go by. Adam was predeceased by his grandfather, Elden Wesely of Fremont, Nebraska. Services will be private.
