He earned his undergraduate degree in Marketing from Kent State University in Ohio and furthered his education with a Master’s in Business Administration from Troy State in Alabama. His educational achievements provided him with the foundation for a successful career as a management executive in the manufacturing industry.
Bob’s commitment to his community was unparalleled. He dedicated countless hours serving on the boards of various organizations, including the Wiregrass Museum of Art, Houston County Library, Southeast Health, and the Board of Trustees and Staff Parish Committee at First United Methodist Church in Dothan, where he was a devout member. His passion for service reflected his fierce loyalty and his desire to uplift those around him.
An avid triathlete and Iron Man finisher, Bob completed the incredible feat of riding his bike across America in just 27 days. His zest for life and adventure was infectious, inspiring those around him to chase their dreams and push their limits. Whether he was cheering for the Alabama Crimson Tide or encouraging a friend at the starting line of a race, Bob’s enthusiasm and passion for life shone through every facet of his being.
Remembered as a fiercely loyal and always encouraging husband, father, and friend, Bob’s legacy will live on in the hearts of those he touched. His devotion to family and community exemplified his character; he was a man who believed in the power of love and connection.

William Calvin “Bill” Adams, age 74, of Dothan, Alabama passed away peacefully at his home surrounded by family. Bill was a devoted family man and friend to many and will be greatly missed by all that knew him and loved him.
Born in Dothan, Alabama on July 31, 1950, Bill lived in Dothan most all of his life. He graduated from Dothan High School in 1968, matriculating to The University of Alabama. In 1972, Bill graduated from The University of Alabama with a Bachelor of Science in Marketing. He was also an active member of Sigma Nu Fraternity. Upon graduation, Bill moved back to Dothan to begin working in the family business Adams Beverages with his father Joe Adams.
Bill was extremely involved, serving on the Anheuser-Busch Panel, National Beer Wholesalers Association Board, and Alabama Wholesale Beer Association Board. Bill was inducted into the Dothan Chamber of Commerce Hall of Fame in April 2024. Most recently, under his leadership, Adams Beverages received the prestigious Anheuser-Busch Ambassador of Excellence Award. He will also be honored in October of this year at the National Beer Wholesalers Association Convention with the Lifetime Achievement Award. Bill has contributed to numerous organizations, including The University of Alabama Crimson Tide Foundation and in 2021, he was inducted in The University of Alabama Bryant Society.
Bill was a well-respected man in the Dothan community and among all of his peers, both personal and business. He had a genuine respect for everyone he met and treated all with the same kindness and interest regardless of his or her place in life. He lived life two ways. First with no regrets choosing to look at the path ahead and never the rearview mirror. Secondly, he lived for others always deflecting attention from himself. Nowhere was this more evident than his relationships with his family and friends. His greatest accomplishment was the happiness he witnessed amongst his family. He loved animals of all types especially those without a home. He was most happy sinking a putt on the last hole to win a bet from his friends or cruising St. Andrews Bay with his wife, children, and grandchildren.
Bill was a man of unwavering character and deep integrity, known for his kindness, generosity, and quiet strength. A devoted protector, encourager, and supporter, he always put his family first, offering constant love, guidance, and support without hesitation. His legacy will live on through those he loved and the lives he touched.
Surviving him are his loving wife Carmen Adams, the mother of his children Mary Adams, his sister Sydney Adams Powell, stepsister Shea Mendheim, his son Clay Adams and his children Collin, Jackson, and Maggie; his daughter Amy Adams Dupree and her husband Chris and their children Mary Peyton, Millie, William, Stone and Spencer; his stepdaughter Kimberly Davis and her husband Brad and their son Charlie.
Bill was preceded in death by his father Joe Adams, his stepmother Barbara Adams, and his mother Rosemary Adams.
The Adams family would like to express their heartfelt gratitude to Pearleen Corbitt for her care and dedication to Bill.
In lieu of flowers, contributions can be made to First United Methodist Church, New Promise Cancer Foundation, Southeast Health Foundation, or Wiregrass Pet Rescue and Adoption Center.
Funeral services will be held on Monday, July 7, 2025 at 2:00 p.m. at First United Methodist Church Dothan with Dr. David R. Saliba officiating. The family will receive friends from 1:00 – 1:45 p.m. in the sanctuary.
