Monte Lee Adamson passed away at his home in Zurich with his loved ones by his side on June 8, 2024, after a long battle with cancer. He was 69 years old.

Monte grew up on a farm in Stove Prairie, Colo. He also lived in Fort Collins, Colo., and Loveland, Colo. He moved to Plainville in 1998. Monte made many friends and loved hanging out in his shop with his friends. He also loved joking with the people he met in town daily. He was a selfless, hardworking, funny, and loving man.
