Tez Adams

Welcome to Tez Adams State Farm, your friendly insurance guy in Tempe, Arizona!

Family...you guys are family now, we've been rocking almost 4 years together and if that's not family - I don't know what is.

So, family was impacted in the month of November hard. I lost one of the most beloved family members I could have. She was my mom, my confidant, at times my closest friend. She was the one I called when I had questions about anything, the one I called when I just needed to talk - she was it.

November was really hard because of this and then we had Thanksgiving. One thing I've learned and that she taught well...remember the good times, make good memories and enjoy life as it happens.

Now, she was well prepared for what life had to offer. She openly discussed her pending transition and was well prepared for her final wishes to be carried out. We talked policies that would be beneficial as she aged and she took full advantage of what life had to offer.

She will be missed, but the LOVE still remains.

December and the holidays may be a little rougher, but I will keep a smile knowing that she is in a place with no pain. I will keep busy with all the things that the holidays bring and then prepare for an awesome 2026.

If you haven't discussed your final wishes with your loved one, you should do it today. Include me in the conversation and we can help ensure all your final wishes are carried out.

Shout out to T&S Auto Glass, as we had a successful glass repair event on Nov. 1.

Things I'm looking forward to in December:

12/2 - 27th Annual Tempe State of the City

12/2 - My Brother's Keeper Mentoring - Tempe

12/6 - Sponsor for Fashionetta 2025 benefiting scholarship for young women of color

12/13 - Tez and Jonathan compete in Phoenix 10k

12/25 - Office closed for Christmas Day

12/26 - Office closed, because it's the day after Christmas and it's a Friday
