by

The YouTube community is saddened by the news of David Adam Williams’ death. His father, Jim Williams, recently shared that the medical examiner determined the popular travel vlogger, known as Adam the Woo, died of natural causes related to heart disease. Williams was 51 years old and was found at his Florida home on December 22, 2025.

Jim Williams shared a heartfelt message on Facebook Monday, January 26th, explaining the cause of his son’s recent death after weeks of speculation. He revealed that his son, Adam, unexpectedly suffered a heart attack while sleeping, likely due to previously unknown health problems. “Our beloved Son… your beloved friend… died, in essence, of a heart attack in his sleep from health issues he probably never knew he had,” Jim wrote, adding that he was grateful Adam passed away peacefully at home.

The discovery of Adam Williams’ body was upsetting for people in Celebration, Florida. When a friend couldn’t get in touch with him, they used a ladder to look through a third-story window and found him unresponsive in bed. His father expressed gratitude that Adam passed away at home, considering his frequent travels, and that he was found by friends rather than a stranger, despite how difficult that was.

Williams was one of the first popular vloggers on YouTube, starting his channel in 2009. He became well-known for his signature phrase, “Join me, shall you?” and for his detailed videos about Disney parks, forgotten roadside stops, and places where movies were filmed. Throughout his career, he traveled to every state in the US, and was recently venturing abroad, including a month-long trip to Europe before his death.

Adam the Woo was a very active vlogger right up until his unexpected passing, consistently posting daily videos. His last video, “Christmas Time Craziness,” captured the festive atmosphere of his hometown, Celebration, Florida, and now serves as a touching goodbye to his fans. Since then, his comment sections have become online tributes, filled with stories from people he inspired to explore the world with positivity and curiosity.

Adam the Woo’s influence lives on through the many “Disney adults” and travel vloggers who credit him as a major inspiration. Several creators are already planning trips for 2026, hoping to follow in his footsteps along Route 66 and through the southern United States. His family is also organizing a public memorial service this spring in St. Cloud, Florida, to celebrate the man who transformed everyday walks into unforgettable adventures.
