Mr. Adam Wayne Mangum

Adam Wayne Mangum, age 64, of the Swearengin Community, passed away on Wednesday, April 22, 2026, at Huntsville Hospital. Born on December 7, 1961, in Guntersville, he was the son of Jerry Wayne & Fae Geckles Mangum. He grew up in Claysville, where he learned early the value of hard work and close neighbors and friends. Adam loved the Lord and loved his church family. From an early age, he knew the importance of a personal relationship with the Lord. Adam came to find his own salvation on November 27, 2019 when he received the Holy Ghost at his church, Oak Grove Holiness Church. Adam never took this gift for granted and always carried a thankful heart. He always made a point to invite his friends to church. Music was one of his lifelong passions especially gospel music. He could often be found listening to old favorites, humming along to hymns, or sharing a song that lifted his spirit. To him, gospel music was more than melody; it was a testimony, a comfort, and celebration, and he loved how it brought people together. He is survived by wife of 43 ½ years, Tena Mangum; daughter & son-in-law, Tarin Bullard (Josh); grandchildren, Alyson Scott (Izac), Justin Bullard, Bryce Bullard, and Zack Bullard; his father, Jerry Mangum; his brother & sister-in-law, Mark Mangum (Malinda); his sisters & brothers-in-law, Connie Smith (Dewayne) and Robin Ford (Chuck); his brothers-in-law, Barry Smith and Terry Smith; sisters-in-law, Deana Clay and Ashley Walden; special pets, Bucky Brown, Daisy Mae, and Molly; many nieces and nephew; and a host of friends.
