In Memoriam: Adam Richard Leinweber

July 20, 2001 - July 26, 2019

Collage of Adam Leinweber

We are totally heartbroken as a result of the loss of one of our star students. Adam came to us when he was only five years old with his dad Brad who is one of our senior instructors. In his early days, we all came to truly understand the meaning of two of the Tenets of Tae Kwon Do, perseverance and self-control, as Adam was quite a handful when he first joined us!

Over the years, Adam grew up before our very eyes, and became a student who strived for perfection. On July the 13th, we tested Adam for his 2nd degree black belt and with his performance, he passed with flying colours. We were privileged and honored to share that journey with him.

The unofficial motto at our club is "It's not all about kicking high". Adam did not seem to have much regard for that, as everything he did was to his highest ability. He persevered until it was right. He was a great mentor to our younger students, and he instilled in them his zest to do better. As instructors we were, and will continue to be, inspired by his energy, his constant smile, his eagerness to instruct and his kindness to others.

He will be dearly missed by all at Tecumseh Tae Kwon Do and will never be forgotten. Thank you Brad and Martina for sharing Adam with us through the years. The young man we lost is a credit to you both.

Love always,
Your Tecumseh Taekwon-Do Family
