Adam Cyr, 23, of Denver, CO died suddenly in his home on Friday, January 19. Born Adam Glen Cyr in Geneva, IL  to Robert and Kimberly (Lincoln) Cyr, his family then moved to Sycamore, IL where he was a 2018 graduate of Sycamore High School.

While in Sycamore, he enjoyed engaging with his friends through things like video games and playing soccer, including his participation in Campton United Soccer Club where he was a standout keeper. From early on, he exhibited interest in the way things work and how structures were built. He harnessed that curiosity through an opportunity in high school to work on a watershed research project with one of his teachers.

That scientific interest next led him to the University of Wyoming to pursue a Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering. While a student there, he served as a Design Assistant with the Wyoming Department of Transportation, working with fellow students to help design roadways throughout the state. After successful completion of his degree in May of 2022, Adam relocated to Denver, Colorado to become a Transportation Engineer-in-Training for Stanley Consultants, Inc. He greatly enjoyed the work he did and the team of which he was a part.

He appreciated the chance to stay connected with his brother and other friends from near and far playing video games online. And he was always good for an entertaining Snap. He loved Star Wars and scary movies. He enjoyed sharing good food and drink with family and friends — whether a dozen (or more!) oysters, a shrimp cocktail, tongue tacos, or making homemade pizza. He enjoyed camping and hiking with friends and going on travel adventures with his brother and Mom.

Throughout his all-too-short life, Adam was known for his goofy sense of humor, his warm presence, his kind heart, and his willingness to help anyone – human or animal. He was a supportive and kind big brother. He looked out for his friends and family and made sure they felt cared about and seen. He was immensely loved and will be missed beyond measure.

His survivors include his mother Kimberly Cyr; his father Robert (Elizabeth) Cyr; his brother, Nicholas; his grandparents Mary Ellen Lincoln, and Mary and Richard Cyr; several aunts, uncles, and cousins; and his cats Orbit and Xivu.

He was preceded in death by his grandfather, James Hunter Lincoln; and his beloved pets Rex, Chewie, and Rocket.

In lieu of flowers, please make memorial contributions in his name to Tails Humane Society, DeKalb, IL. A celebration of life will occur at a later date.
