TRIBUTE
Celebrating a Life, Adam Michael Rosen
COURTESY ROSEN HOTELS & RESORTS (3)
(Oct. 30, 1992 - Nov. 23, 2018) WITH THE HEAVIEST OF HEARTS, the Rosen Hotels & Resorts family continues to mourn the recent loss of and celebrate the life of Adam Michael Rosen (Oct. 30, 1992 – Nov. 23, 2018) following his valiant two-and-a-half-year battle with a rare and aggressive form of brain cancer, gliomatosis cerebri. Prior to his 2016 diagnosis, life for Adam had reached its peak. He had his dream job working in Rosen Brand Standards, a new Mustang GT, and the most incredible dogs—beloved rescues Samson and Bella. To top it off, he had an adored girlfriend, and his health and fitness was at its height. He enjoyed working alongside his dad and brother and spending weekends playing beach volleyball with friends and family on the Rosen Shingle Creek sand volleyball court he had designed himself. He seemed poised for a great future when tragedy struck just 23 years into his life. The Rosen family, alongside dedicated friends and an incredible team of caring physicians, therapists and caretakers, banded together as Adam’s Army and let hope shine bright. Despite losing his ability to walk and talk, as well as constantly enduring the demands of treatment, Adam remained steadfast in his determination and positivity, and never lost his hallmark smile. Following his passing, the hotels lit up with his favorite color green for 26 days, each one honoring a year of his incredible, but much too short life. Through the formation of The Adam Michael Rosen Foundation, as well as a $12 million grant to the University of Florida to launch an unprecedented partnership for the development of novel brain tumor treatments, the Rosen family has ensured his legacy will live on by supporting cancer warriors like him, as well as other passions closest to his heart.
