Adam Edward Rozyskie, aged 84, of Point Roberts, Washington, passed away on December 27, 2025, in the loving arms of his wife, Frances. They had been married 29 years and enjoyed a wonderful life together.
Adam was born in Conway, South Carolina, to Margaret Elaine Barrett and Chester Theodore Rozyskie, on October 1, 1941.
Upon high school graduation, Adam entered the army where he received an extensive education with the US Army Intelligence Service. His training centered on electronic warfare and maintenance of warfare equipment, resulting in a degree in electrical engineering. He went on to earn an MBA from Penn State University. He also earned the nickname “professor”, from his family and colleagues, having received many awards for service to US Security Agencies.
During Adam’s wide and impressive career, he lived and worked in Guam, The United Kingdom, Germany, Turkey, Hawaii, Kwajalin, Korea, Virginia and Washington DC.
He enjoyed traveling with Fran, reading, science fiction (he was a loyal “Trekkie”) and scuba diving. He was an avid sailor and for six years he and Fran lived on a 46-foot sloop rigged sailboat. His love of studying science, robotics and economics never waned. Adam was an introspective and intellectually curious man who throughout his life enjoyed the pursuit of learning. And he loved Sudoko.
Volunteering at the Point Roberts Food Bank for five years was another of Adam’s loves.
Adam is survived by his greatest love; his wife, Frances, his daughters, Michelle (Bill) and Stephanie (Geoff), whom he raised with his first wife, Marie, and grandchildren Riley, Kyle, Jake, Alex and Emily.
At his request, there will not be a public service. A private memorial will be held in remembrance of Adam.
