Adam M.
Greenly
Oct 25, 1966 — Sep 21, 2026
Adam passed away peacefully at home on September 21, 2026, surrounded by the love of his wife and children. Born on October 25, 1966, in Rochester, New York, to Lynne Parker and Charles Greenly, he was the second of three brothers. Adam attended Roth High School and earned a degree in mechanical engineering from the University at Buffalo in 1989. Over his 31-year career at Captivaire, he earned the respect and affection of those around him through his intelligence, dedication, strong work ethic, and warm, personable nature.
Adam cherished his family and wholeheartedly embraced his roles as a son, husband, brother, father, grandfather, and uncle. One of his greatest joys was being a father and Papa. His loving presence made every occasion more special. He proudly cheered from the sidelines at countless sporting events and school activities, always his family’s biggest fan. He treasured life’s simple moments: backyard swims, s’mores, games, puzzles, and conversations about whatever interested his children and grandchildren. They knew how completely they were loved, and the memories they made with him will remain in their hearts forever.
In 2016, Adam met Reneé, his soulmate and the love of his life. They married on August 4, 2018, and together created a life filled with faith, family, travel, and deep devotion to one another. Shortly after they met, Adam completed the Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults and became Catholic. His faith grew to become a guiding presence in his life. He loved St. Joseph’s Church, Father Jim, and before his illness, he and Reneé served together on the Parish Council. Their years together were far fewer than they had dreamed, but the love they shared was profound and the life they built was beautiful.
Adam enjoyed playing poker and watching sports, especially golf and football—Go Bills! An avid golfer, he particularly cherished teaching his son Josh to play. These interests gave Adam another way to share time, laughter, and lasting memories with the people he loved. He also loved to travel, from childhood vacations with his parents and brothers to adventures with his children and treasured journeys with Reneé.
Adam leaves behind a family who loved him beyond measure: his wife, Reneé; his mother, Lynne Parker; his father and stepmother, Charles and Sylvia Greenly; his brothers, David (Laurie) Greenly and Eric (Cheryl) Greenly; his children, Josh (Samantha) Greenly, Maddy Greenly (Frank Raudsepp), Adrienne (Javier) Heckle-Algarin, Tyler (Justice) Walther, Ashly (Nate) Switzer, Caitlin (Dan) Epner, and Jacqueline Flint; his ten cherished grandchildren; and many beloved in-laws, nieces, and nephews.
Adam’s life ended far too soon, leaving an absence that can never truly be filled. Yet his love remains—in the family he cherished, the friendships he nurtured, the faith that sustained him, and the countless lives made better because he was part of them. He will be remembered for his strength, determination, humor, generosity, and unwavering devotion to those he loved. Adam’s life was a gift, and he will be loved and missed more than words can express.
A funeral Mass will be celebrated at St. Joseph’s Church in Penfield on Saturday, September 26, 2026, at 11:00 a.m., followed by a celebration of Adam’s life.
