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.

Where do I start, the huge loss to the world, the huge sorrow I feel for the family losing a husband/father and son, or the loss of my friend. I feel sad, just knowing that one of the lights in this world was taken too soon. I am glad to have met him, glad to get to know him, and grateful he was a part of my life and touched so many others. I will remember him as the jovial kind-spirited person that laughed with us on many adventures.
I watched Adam over many camping trips spend some of his time looking for the perfect stick. It had to be straight, and it had to be tall enough (which for him was a tall order). A stick he found after many years of searching that he carved and made his “Gandalf stick” of light to carry him through the darkness while camping. I hope he has that super straight stick of light to guide him wherever he is now. He will be missed greatly, my deepest condolences to the family.
Happily camping in the dark and the rain, eating pasta with a subtle hint of bleach, watching scouts learn and struggle with knots, axes and cooking outdoors…. helping any who wanted it. Adam was a scouter who never seemed to lose his cool. He was respected by kids and scouters alike and will truly be missed. My condolences to all who will feel his loss.
Dear Kyla, Henry and Dehlia. Sending my heartfelt condolences. My heart breaks for you. I feel blessed to have known Adam, such a kind, sincere and genuine person. He will be missed.
Adam and I worked together on around 6 Movember campaigns. He was generous with his time and always offered creative solutions to complex problems when building fundraising teams.
Adam was, as others observed, fashion forward and brought a quirky sense of humor and a freshness to every social encounter. I’d see him maybe 1/2 a dozen times a year and I always thought he’d be there forever… this was not to be. My heart goes out to his family. The loss to our community is incalculable. Rest easy my young friend.
On behalf of all of us at Movember, I wanted to share our deepest condolences on to all those who loved Adam. Adam was a legendary Movember supporter who raised over $10,000 to support men’s health initiatives. The League of Municipal Ladies and Gentlemen in Saanich is such an incredible group of folks, and Adam was at the fore of that. Our love to Adam’s family and friends, from all of us here at Movember.

Dear Kyla, Henry, Dehlia and family. Our hearts are with you. Kyla you spoke so fondly of Adam and the wonderful adventures you shared together with your colleagues. Your family memories are so reflective of the love you have including many camping trips on Hornby Island and snorkeling in Hawaii. We wish you to be surrounded by love and peace as well as having all the space and time you need to grieve. Love Brendan and Amanda.
Dear Kyla, so sorry for your loss. I can’t imagine what you and your kiddos are going through. Even though I never met Adam, I always sensed how close you two were.
My sincere condolences.

Adam and I crossed paths in 2016 – he helped me with some technical issues for a society I was forming for people with struggling with a mental illness. He was so helpful and left a lasting impression on me for his kindness and understanding. His input was encouraging for me and was one of those special people in my journey to start Connections Place Society. My condolences to Adam’s loved ones, Jackie
I met Adam over 10 years ago when he volunteered as a citizen representative for the Township of View Royal for appointment to the Victoria Family Court & Youth Justice Committee (VFC&YJC). Over those years he was always generous with his time and a great contributor to the Committee and its legislated required communications etc., and was our Vice-chair for the past several years. I appreciated his work and his commitment & dedication to the Committee and also his sense of fun and style. If you looked at his clothing you know what I mean. We never think we might not see a younger person again. I’m glad I had the opportunity to met and work with Adam and thank him in person over the years. To Adam’s wife, children, and other family members, I am so very sorry and saddened by your loss. Thank you for sharing Adam with us.
My heart breaks for you Kyla, Henry & Dehlia. Our deepest condolences. Adam always had a wave & a smile for us when we saw him. We will think of him and those smiles every time we look at the prints we got from him years ago.
