Michael "Adrian" Adensam

It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Michael Lawrence Adensam, known to many as Adrian, who left us on September 2, 2025, at the age of 68. Born on March 22, 1957, the son of Nicholas Sr. and Dorothy (Bodanski), in Alexandria, MN. Mike spent his life in the Carlos area, where he was a cherished brother, friend, and member of the community. 

Growing up on the family farm near Carlos, Mike graduated from Osakis High School in the class of 1975. He was a hardworking man who took pride in his career as part owner of Carlos Canopy Company and later as a plastic press operator at Juno Tool and Plastic and a CNC operator at Profab, retiring in 2022. After retirement, he continued to enjoy life on the family farm, raising Angus beef cattle and crops. 

Mike was known for his outgoing and friendly nature, making friends wherever he went. He had a love for cards, especially whist, and enjoyed the thrill of riding his Harley. His passions included fishing, hunting, and testing his luck at the casinos. He was a member of the Rod and Gun Club and often attended high school ball games. He enjoyed many concerts whether it was Rock-n-Roll or Country, he liked them all. Above all, he treasured time spent with family and friends, whose laughter and love filled his life.
