We will be starting this meal train for Adam and Jaclyn on February 23, 2026. Adam has one more week of treatment in Atlanta, and sometimes those treatments are in the evening. However, starting February 23rd, they will be home for a whole month before treatment starts again. I will do my best to keep everyone updated here about the meal train. At present, Adam's appetite is still strong so let's shower them with love through food! The Mark White Show: There are seasons in life when everything feels steady. You go to work. You come home. You make plans for the future. You talk about the places you want to travel and the life you want to keep building together. For Oxford Police Officer Jaclyn Willis and her husband, Adam, that was their life in Golden Springs, Alabama, in Calhoun County. Jaclyn serves her community every day through the Oxford Police Department. Her job is built around protecting others and showing up when people are experiencing some of the hardest moments of their lives. Adam built his career in technology and was working in IT at Jacksonville State University. He is known for being calm, steady, and having a quiet sense of humor. He is the type of person who keeps people grounded when life feels overwhelming. Their story began in college. They met at a Halloween party. Adam was wearing a Batman shirt. They went on their first date watching Alabama play LSU in November of 2011, and from that point forward, they built a life together. They traveled across Europe. They took road trips across the United States. They built a home. They raised dogs they loved like family. They built a good life together, one day at a time. Then came the headaches. Then the dizziness. Then the doctor visits that led to more doctor visits. Specialists. Testing. Waiting for answers that no one wants to hear. On May 29th, 2024, everything changed. Adam had an MRI. Not long after, Jaclyn received the call that they needed to get to UAB immediately. Later, at MD Anderson Cancer Center in Houston, they received the diagnosis. Adam had multiple brain tumors and an aggressive form of cancer. Doctors told them the tumors may have been growing for nearly 20 years. Adam’s brain had slowly adapted until it simply could not anymore. Treatment began. Surgery. Chemotherapy. Proton radiation. There were seizures that did not look like what most people think seizures look like. There were days when Jaclyn worked full time as an Oxford Police Officer while also making sure Adam was safe at home, using cameras and relying on friends and support to check on him during the day. Then they saw progress. The seizures stopped. Treatment worked. Adam returned to work at Jacksonville State. Co-workers helped by driving him until he was cleared to drive again. Simple things felt like major victories. Being able to drive again. Being able to work again. Being able to live life again. For a time, life felt steady again. Then December of 2025 came. Adam began showing stroke like symptoms. He experienced double vision and numbness on his right side. Testing showed swelling, fluid buildup, tumor growth, and additional masses. What was once expected to be slow growing began acting more aggressively. Today, Adam is undergoing infusions and radiation treatments to slow the progression of the tumors. This season of the fight looks different. Jaclyn now helps guide Adam when they walk. She moves plates and drinks into his line of sight so he can see them. She helps him navigate restaurants, parking lots, and everyday places most of us move through without thinking. There are moments when Adam struggles to find words. There are moments when he cannot remember if he ate lunch. There are moments that are incredibly difficult for a family to walk through. Through all of it, Adam is still Adam. He is still calm. He is still steady. He is still the one helping keep Jaclyn grounded. He still chooses humor. He still chooses hope. Jaclyn says the support they have received from their community, from the law enforcement family, and from people they have never met has been overwhelming. They have received messages, bracelets, shirts, donations, and prayers. They have been surrounded by love from people who simply want to help. In a world where bad news often feels louder than good news, their story is a reminder that there are still many good people who care deeply about others. The Alabama Police Benevolent Association and the Police Benevolent Foundation have stepped in to help support this Oxford Police family. One hundred percent of the donations received go directly to Adam and Jaclyn. This is what community looks like. It means showing up for one of our own. It means standing beside a law enforcement family from Oxford. It means standing beside a family from Golden Springs and Calhoun County during one of the hardest seasons of their lives.
