May 20, 2024

Adam Alabata Sanborn, 38 years old, of Milton, Florida, passed away peacefully and surrounded by many who loved him on May 3, 2024 after a three-year long battle with colon cancer.

Adam was born on May 25, 1985 in Oceanside, CA. He graduated with honors from Milton High School in 2003, where he was an active and proud member of the NJROTC. He attended UCF and UWF. Adam became a professional dance instructor and dance competitor winning national and international awards and ranking in the top 200 West Coast Swing Dance competitors in the world.

Adam is survived by his mother, Pearlas Alabata Sanborn; father, Brian Allan Sanborn; grandmother, Perla Ozoa Alabata; sister, Alexandra Alabata Ingram; fiancé, Emily Grace Bishop and numerous uncles, aunties and cousins.

Adam will be remembered by many for his tireless efforts in growing a vibrant dance community in NW Florida. Even while fighting the rigors of cancer, Adam’s exuberance for life was exemplified by his commitment to teaching, mentoring and encouraging many in the dance community.

Adam’s energy, easy smile and tremendous mind will be greatly missed by those of us who knew and loved him.

A Funeral Mass will be held on Friday, May 24, 2024 at St Rose of Lima Catholic Church, 6451 Park Avenue, Milton, Florida 32570 with visitation from 2:00-3:00pm, Rosary at 3:00pm and the Funeral Mass at 3:30pm.
