Adam Michael Oliver, age 33, of Topeka, KS, passed away unexpectedly on Sunday, April 19, 2026, in Topeka.
He was born the son of Mike and Dawna (Owens) Oliver on November 11, 1992, in Topeka.
Following high school, Adam furthered his education for a few years before entering the workforce. He dedicated several years to Target Distribution and recently achieved a proud milestone by graduating from White Line CDL Training School in Topeka. He had just begun his truck driving career, a testament to his determination and work ethic, when his life was tragically cut short.
Adam’s greatest pride and purpose in life were his beloved son, Noah, and daughter, Aria. Everything he did was for them. He worked tirelessly, never one to sit still, always taking on extra jobs and side work to provide for his young family and build a better future for his children.
He cherished time spent with friends and family, whether playing pool, throwing darts, or attending concerts. Adam had a deep love for music and animals, and his kindhearted, outgoing nature made it easy for him to connect with others. He never knew a stranger and had a way of making everyone feel like a friend.
Though his time here was far too short, Adam made a lasting impact in his 33 years. He will be deeply missed by his children, family, and many friends, who will carry his memory and the love he gave forward.
Survivors include his cherished children, Noah & Aria Oliver; the mother of his children, Jennifer Larson; father, Mike Oliver and his wife Joann; two brothers, Andy Oliver and his fiancé Katie, Aaron Oliver and his wife Kristina; three stepbrothers, Jason Dudley, Jeremy Dudley, and Joe Dudley; cousin, Katie Morrissey and her husband Mike; as well as two nephews; two nieces; and numerous cousins and friends.
He was preceded in death by his mother, Dawna Owens.
