American soccer star Alex Morgan consoles Serena Williams’ husband Alexis Ohanian following his friend’s death
“I’m so sorry about your brother. Prayers for you and your family right now,” Morgan wrote.
“I buried one of my brothers this weekend, Adam Solomon. He was the easy-going soul of my very best friends, guys I’ve known since 1st grade, who to this day are like brothers to me. He got me into lifting a decade ago. He was at the gym, doing what he loved, when he died,” Ohanian tweeted.
“It was easy to find photos of Adam, bc for the decades we’ve known each other, scattered across the US, he never missed a gathering — no matter how spectacular or mundane, he was there, with the same great vibes, ready to slam his burly hand on your shoulder, and tell you a joke,” Ohanian wrote further.
“I’m grateful for all the things we did together over the last 35 years, but I wish we’d had more time. Adam wouldn’t just show up for the guys trips to Vegas or the Skins games — he’d jump down to FL just to help me put a swingset together for Olympia,” he continued. “We were just in LA together and we did a round of toasts (everyone speaks!) and when it was Adam’s turn, he spoke of how much he loved us and these times together and finished with our traditional cheers: “Strength & Honor” (yes, from Gladiator — we’re obsessed),” Ohanian stated. “And as much as I’m hurting right now, I know it hurts because of how much I loved him and I wouldn’t trade all those great times, great memories, and true friendship for anything. I hope you all are lucky enough to have an Adam in your life. Strength and Honor, brother,” he added.
