Adam L. Marion loved kids, and at one point, he worked with children involved with parks and recreation programs and at a home for abused children.
Family members say that he carried his passion for helping children with him to Iraq, where he spent as much time as possible with Iraqi kids.
“He was really funny, joking and always smiling,” said Ivy Jean Atkins, a cousin. “He loved kids and had a loving heart.”
Marion, 26, of Mount Airy, N.C., was killed April 28 during an attack on a base near Baghdad. He was a 2000 high school graduate and was assigned to Saint Pauls, N.C.
“He loved to have fun,” said Kathy Robertson, a friend. “Just being around him would make you laugh, and he loved to cut up and pick. He was just fun to be around.”

Think of me as one at rest, for me you should not weep. I have no cares, no troubled thoughts, for now I am asleep.--The living breathing me that was, is now forever still, and time goes on without me as time forever will.--Those of you who liked me, I sincerely thank you all, and those of you that loved me, I thank most of all.--It matters not if time began or if it will ever cease. I was here, I used it all and now I am at peace.
