Adam Benjamin Goldfarb, 31, passed away unexpectedly on March 25, 2025, in London, England, due to a sudden cardiac event. Born in Westerville, Ohio, Adam lived with unmatched intensity, embracing every opportunity with intelligence, humor, and adventure.
A graduate of Riverwood High School in Atlanta, Adam pursued his love of law at Durham University in the UK, earning Upper Second-Class Honors. He built a distinguished legal career in London at Weil Gotshal and Kirkland & Ellis. His expertise and intellectual curiosity led him to roles at East West Rail, Oxford Nanopore Technologies, and, most recently, as Corporate Legal Counsel at CTI International. He became a British citizen while maintaining his U.S. citizenship, embodying a global perspective and deep commitment to his profession.
Adam was an enthusiastic follower of history and politics, relishing a good debate and often arguing any side of an issue to help others see it fully. His razor-sharp wit and ability to view multiple perspectives made him an excellent conversationalist.
From childhood, he was fascinated by model trains, a nostalgic joy throughout his life. He had a deep passion for Formula 1 racing, following it closely and immersing himself in sim racing. Adam cherished his car, “Bruce,” a constant companion on his travels throughout England. During weekends, he and his partner, Rhianna, would explore the English countryside, often visiting her hometown of Northampton.
Adam and his brother, David, shared a unique bond, perfectly balanced like yin and yang. Whether their conversations were long or short, they were always filled with laughter, each drawing out the best in the other.
He is survived by his beloved longtime partner, Rhianna Bridgewater; his parents, Eric and Gwen Goldfarb; his brother, David Goldfarb; his aunts and uncles, Jennifer Goldfarb and Robert Siegmann, and Stuart and Joy Oberman; his grandparents, Robert and Myra Oberman and Clare Goldfarb.
Adam’s time with us was far too short, but his impact was profound. He will be deeply missed and forever remembered.
A funeral service was held at 11 a.m. on Thursday, April 10, 2025, at Arlington Cemetery (201 Mount Vernon Hwy, Sandy Springs, GA 30328).
