Disney & Urban YouTube Star Adam The Woo (David Adam Williams) 1974-2025. The Disney Community is sad to learn of the passing of Adam The Woo yesterday, December 22nd, 2025. While initial reports have no cause of death, he was found dead at his home in Celebration, Fla., on Monday afternoon, according to the Osceola County Sheriff’s Office.
“The residence was secured, and no contact was made with the adult male residing there,” a spokesperson for the sheriff’s office said. “Deputies later responded to the location for an unattended death at 2:53 p.m.” Williams was discovered by a friend who had borrowed a ladder and looked through a third-story window, where he saw the popular YouTuber lying motionless on a bed, police said. An autopsy will be conducted by the medical examiner to determine the cause of death. Police also said Williams’ father was notified.
Instantly, his true friends and frequent collaborators, along with his father, confirmed Adam The Woo’s passing.
Justin Scarred shared some kind words about the passing of Adam, posting, “The world has lost a giant, and I have lost a friend closer to me than blood.” Continuing “We lost Adam. I loved this man with my whole heart, and I don’t know what to do or what to say. His family has been informed and has quietly confirmed online. Please pray for his parents, Jim and June, and his sister Faith. He had so many wonderful friends and knew that he was loved. I don’t know what to do or to say; this comes at a horrible time and is most horrible for his family. Please keep THEM in your thoughts and prayers.”
Adam The Woo (David Adam Williams) was one of the original Disney YouTube stars, posting to The Daily Woo his adventures from around all the Disney Parks, and most recently, his trip to Disneyland Paris, along with his trip through Italy and Europe. One of his most recent videos came from his return home to cover the Epcot Festival of the Holidays.
Adam was and still will be an inspiration to many who are looking to get into filming themselves and their daily adventures. He was one of the main reasons we see so many daily vloggers walking around the Disney Parks and the world in general.
Editor’s notes: We knew Adam, not well, but enough to say hello and small talk every chance we ran into each other. The last time we saw Adam was during the Fort Wilderness Halloween parade, and he was the humble, polite, and just nice guy he always was. He never walked around with the “Dont you know who I am?” attitude. He didn’t care if you had 1 million subs or were just starting; he always said something nice and took time for selfies.
Adam The Woo’s passing has brought him worldwide attention, with People, TMZ, and more reporting on his death, just showing how important this man was to hundreds of thousands watching every week. We just hope he knows this, which, if you listen to some past videos, we believe he did know that his support was worldwide.
The Disney Community lost a friend and an inspiration today, and it is okay to be sad. His family and true friends are in our thoughts today! Sorry for your loss!
