HUNTINGTON / FORT WAYNE, Ind. — The Huntington and Fort Wayne communities are united in grief following the passing of Adlee Scheerer, a gifted ice hockey player whose passion, kindness, and vibrant spirit left a lasting impression on teammates, friends, and all who knew him.
A native of Huntington, Adlee was a proud graduate of Huntington North High School, where he earned admiration for his commitment both on and off the ice. Hockey was central to his life, not just as a sport but as a space where he built friendships, learned discipline, and expressed joy. Coaches and teammates recall his relentless work ethic, positive attitude, and the infectious energy he brought to every practice and game.
Beyond athletics, Adlee was remembered for his gentle heart and unique personality. Friends describe him as thoughtful, warm, and deeply caring—someone who made others feel seen and appreciated. He had a distinctive sense of style and a love for thrifting, often celebrating vintage finds that reflected his individuality and creativity.
Tributes have poured in across social media, including a moving remembrance from Kelly Redwanski, who highlighted the small, meaningful moments—shared laughs, fist bumps, favorite boots—that now carry profound significance. Her words echo the sentiments of many struggling to process the loss of such a bright presence.
Adlee is survived by his parents, Tiffany and David, who continue to receive an outpouring of support from friends, teammates, and community members. Though his life was cut tragically short, Adlee Scheerer’s legacy endures through the love he shared, the passion he lived by, and the memories that will forever keep his spirit alive.
