Mourning the loss of a collaborator and friend
This past May, we were deeply saddened to learn that our writer, Adam Marks, died suddenly at the age of 42. Not only was Adam an excellent musician, but he was also a renaissance man in the true sense. Adam came to us as a writer. We got to know him while he crafted thoughtful stories about several of our grantees. His curious mind and empathetic soul brought the perfect tone to this work. His warmth and enthusiasm brightened our days.
We will miss you, Adam.
