Adam Noel Faulkner

December 25, 1977 ~ April 5, 2025

Adam Noel Faulkner, age 47, of Oklahoma City, Oklahoma passed away on Saturday, April 5, 2025. He was born on December 25, 1977 in Oklahoma City to Cindy Ruth Atherton and Terry Lee Faulkner.

Adam approached life with curiosity, humor, and heart. He grew up practicing taekwondo, playing video games, and shooting BB guns. He graduated from Western Heights High School in 1996 and went on to earn a Bachelor's degree in Business Administration from Oklahoma City University. He later continued his education earning a Master's degree from the University of Phoenix.

On May 5, 2012, Adam married Liliana, and together they had four beautiful children: Kimberly, Blake, Aron and Pablo. Being a father was the greatest joy of Adam's life- children were his pride and purpose.

Adam worked as a biomedical engineer for Pinnacle Biomedical, where he thrived in a career that challenged and fulfilled him. He took great pride in his work and valued the friendships he built along the way.

Adam was always eager to try new things and explore life's adventures. He dabbled in skydiving and scuba diving – experiences he shared with his mom. He enjoyed traveling, playing pool, and connecting with others through ham radio. One of his greatest passions was music. From the time he picked up his guitar at age 12, music became a lifelong companion. Whether he was playing his cherished Rickenbacher, Gibson, Les Paul guitars, singing along to his favorite tunes, or attending concerts, Adam found joy and expression through music.

At 18, Adam dedicated his heart to the Lord and was baptized by his Grandpa Bill – an experience that deeply marked his spiritual journey.

Adam will be remembered for his brilliant sense of humor, his jovial mischief, and his desire to make others laugh. He had a heart full of love for the people who were closest to him, and he never missed a chance to brighten someone's day. His presence brought joy, laughter and warmth to everyone lucky enough to know him.

Adam Noel Faulkner will be missed every moment of every day. His memory will live on in the stories, the music, and the love he left behind. He will remain forever in the hearts of those who knew and loved him.
