Adam Johnson has been laid to rest and his family has paid an emotional tribute after his freak death during an ice hockey match.The 29-year-old has been laid to rest in his home town of Hibbing, Minnesota with his fiancee Ryan Wolfe paying tribute on social media with the message: "We miss you so much". His family also published an emotional obituary.
"Simple pleasures Adam enjoyed were manually grinding his coffee beans, seeing the colours of each sunset, sitting lakeside by a bonfire with a glass of his favourite red wine, and trying out new dinner recipes. But more than anything, he loved a good deal on Costco steaks. "He was many things to many people, but to those who were lucky enough to be loved by Adam knew he was thoughtful, patient and genuinely authentic. He loved his fiancee, family, and friends above all else. His loving and quiet demeanour will be eternally missed."
