About Adam

For 30 years, Adam Hartwig brought joy and laughter to those around him. Born and raised in Port Washington, Adam showed true honor and pride at an early age in football, and later in life in his career as a Patrol Deputy with the Ozaukee County Sheriff’s Office. You would never meet anyone who loved his job more, or was more passionate about his work than Adam was. He considered his fellow Deputies as a second family and truly aspired to be the best he could be. He was also passionate about his newly started family. Adam met Janel, his high school sweet heart, when he was 15 years old. The two got married in 2012 on a gorgeous winter day. Their real adventure began when Waylen arrived in July of 2015. Adam had a special bond with Waylen that no one will ever be able to replace. Waylen is now 8 months old and a true reminder of Adam’s spunky personality. Adam left us unexpectedly on the morning of Friday, March 18, 2016. He will be missed deeply by his family and friends and his memory will forever live on through Waylen.
