Born March 28, 1978, in Victoria, BC, died May 13, 2024. Adam will be unimaginably missed by his wife Kyla, and his children Henry and Dehlia; his grandma Zena Milne; his mother Eileen Torgeson (Dyne) and his father Ian Flint (Terry); his brother Matt Flint (Melissa); his in-laws Jim and Penny Doswell; and so many other close family and friends. Adam was a great partner and friend, but he was the best dad. Adam loved being in nature and found pure joy camping with his children. He was generous with his time and volunteered with many organizations in his community. Adam loved a good hobby, and he excelled in leatherwork, ensuring everyone had a gorgeous handbag or wallet. His sharp, dry sense of humour and warm heart will be greatly missed.
A celebration to honour Adam’s great life will be held in the Sequoia Centre at McCall Gardens, 4665 Falaise Drive, on June 29, 2024, at 2:00 pm, and we invite all who knew and loved him to attend.
Condolences may be offered to the family below.

I am without words and deeply sorry to learn the news. Dear Kayla, Henry and Dehlia, and family, please receive my deepest condolenses. I had the great pleasure of working with Adam and cannot say enough good things about him. He deeply loved his family and always had a positive word and a touch of humour, always cool, with a can do attitude. A true creative, he helped design so many communication materials, he had a knack with technology and designs. He was instrumental in creating communication materials and some great videos for the Cadboro Bay Local Area Plan update. I could always trust and count on Adam to come up with a creative solution, exactly what we needed. I have but positive things to say about Adam as he was one of the kindest people I worked with. Adam liked to learn new things and always looked to make a difference. I admired his dedication to his family, and his courage to step up and run for Council. He championed Movember and always looked to make a positive difference. I don’t have enough words, I am truly deeply sorry, I did not know.
Shocked and saddened to read about Adam’s passing. While we didn’t work directly together at Saanich, we did work on committees together and he truly was a shining light. Sincere condolences to the family, his friends and colleagues.
I have taken a while to write here as I have thought and thought about what to write but I am not sure any words exist that will do Adam justice. Just thinking of him now makes me smile, he got along with everyone, gentle and kind, caring and trustworthy and I am lucky to have known him, all be it for a short time and I am very lucky to be able to call him a friend. We talked about everything and nothing, we put the world to rights, shared stories of raising teenagers, traveling, his surprising inability to play badmington or basketball given his advantage. We talked about what the future would look like and how we would do our best to make the world a better place. Sadly we have all been robbed of our friend and brother but I can now say quietly in my head when I need some help, what would Adam do, when I walk the places we walked on our chats I will always think of him and that little thought already makes the world a better place.
Until next time, rest easy my friend and miss you lots…
We are heartbroken for Kayla, Henry and Dehlia, and family.
Adam loved to serve everyone around him. He’s one of those people that just is constantly helping others and makes sure everyone is present and enjoying eachothers company. Evertime my family would visit his, he’d insist on doing everything…. “don’t bring anything” he’d say. And so, he would cook for everyone and take care of it all. To me, this was Adam in a nutshell. He just enjoyed taking care of everyone.
I doubt my story is unique, as Adam had many friends and colleagues I haven’t met. I suspect they’d feel similar. I remember mentioning to Adam one day that I started mt.biking… he mentioned he had too. Then we moved on to talk about the challenges and joys of raising teens. Adam was very easy to talk with. I wouldn’t be surprised to learn how many hearts he’s touched with his kindness.
Will miss your sharp but easy style… you always did look good in every attire you had on. Miss you brotherman. RIP.
Leonard and fam.
