This is really, really sad, Adam was a great guy. My condolences to Patrik, Daniel, Alexander and Gabriel at Skoaktiebolaget.
If you used Facebooks mobile app the picture just came up as "Skoaktiebolaget updated their cover picture", you don't see the text. I was actually one of those who "liked" it, but that's just since I think it's a good picture. Could probably be others who has done the same. As soon as I read this thread and understood what happened and noticed the text to the picture on the web version of Facebook, I removed my "like".
I'm not going to go in to details (and don't know that much either anyway), but since they wrote it on their FB and knows people would start to wonder, I guess it's fine that I tell you that Adam had been ill for some time.

Jeez....that is sad news. Adam really went put of his way to help me order. A real gent.

Thank you all for your compassion and kind words. We are grief-stricken to have lost a much loved colleague and a close friend.

Adam passed away two weeks ago; he had been fighting bravely against cancer for some time. Out of respect for his family and fiancée we wanted to wait a few weeks before we let the community know. Adam was a very modest and subtle person, and that’s why we have kept his illness discreet. A lot of clients and community members have been asking about Adam and wondered why he has been away from work for so long, so I think it was important to make a small statement. The picture of Adam on our Facebook page was meant as homage to a great man and a dear friend, sorry if the message was cryptic, this was of course never my intention.

Please remember that we can help battle this terrible decease by contributing to our local cancer charities.

Thank you again for your support, it means a lot to me and the Skoaktiebolaget team.

Kind regards,
Patrik a.k.a Leaves

Great shoe! But, I am already waiting for the group MTO of the same model in burgundy calf...
