Bill Adams

Bill Adams, 75, of Fallon, passed away peacefully at his home on August 11, 2021.

Bill worked for Nevada NDOT for some 30 years plus, at the end of that time he was head of safety and heavy equipment training for District 3.

Bill loved traveling, fishing, and camping while spending time with family and friends. Bill had many varied interests. His love of people showed in all that he did, which included announcing many western event Rodeos, Team Roping and Mule Shows. He always did his best to make all the contestants feel special.

A huge part of Bill’s life was his mules, especially Ruth and Rita. He became a very accomplished Teamster and Wagon Master. He was World Champion Teamster two years running at the Bishop Mule Days, winning many more awards at various mule shows. He headed up the Wagon Train from Lovelock to Fallon across 40-mile desert for many years.

His passing has left a big void in many hearts. A Celebration of Life Service will be held in the early fall.

Bill is survived by his wife, Claudia; children, Brandi and Paul Hatfield of Oregon, Roxann and Travis White of Fallon, Don of Missouri; grandchildren, Fiona White, Kayetlynn and Gabriell Hicks, Tristin Adams.

Arrangements are under the direction of The Gardens 2949 Austin Highway Fallon, NV 89406

Comment author: BonnieComment text: Good Luck to all of you. I mean this sincerely. My family fought the Navy for years. My parents owned Horse Creek (Pat and Linda Dempsey). They strung them along for years until they had no financial choice but to accept and get out. My Dad even hauled water for the Snow ranch trying to stay afloat. May God bless you all. I truly pray it works out for you.Comment publication date: 3/28/26, 9:22 PMComment source: Local Rancher Says Navy Land Expansion is Devastating His Family RanchComment author: Lynn JohnsonComment text: I remember your mother well; she was a lovely and kind woman.

I see glimpses of your face in the years worn onto my dad. It makes me feel more connected to you in some way. I remember the familiar kindness from you that I know in my dad. I would’ve really liked to have a good conversation. I only have a handful of memories with you, but you were loving, and you were kind. I wish I was able to say more. If I am someone to you, I hope I make you proud. Thank you Aunt for this sweet post.Comment publication date: 3/27/26, 12:11 AMComment source: Obituary -- Randolph Floris Banovich C Comment author: RBCComment text: The Navy should reimburse the market cost of replacing the grazing land they are taking.
