Adam LaVasseur

Adam Walter LaVasseur, age 34, of Flint, Michigan, passed away tragically on Monday, February 23, 2026, as the result of being struck by a car while walking.
Adam was born on September 19, 1991, in Flint, the son of John McLain and Claudene Mileschkowsky. He was raised in Flint by his adoptive parents, George and Norma LaVasseur.
From a young age, Adam had a deep passion for automobiles and a natural mechanical ability. He loved understanding how things worked and could often be found taking things apart and putting them back together again. He also cherished time spent outdoors and was known for his impressive knowledge and survival skills. In his free time, Adam enjoyed playing video games and working out, building the strong physique that matched his determined spirit.
Adam was a protector at his core who carried himself with strength and confidence. Whether offering guidance, lending a hand, or simply making his presence known in times of uncertainty, he made those around him feel safe.
Above all, Adam will be remembered for his honesty, his generous heart, and his unwavering loyalty to those he loved. He was fiercely devoted to his family and friends, and his presence will be deeply missed by all who knew him.
He is survived by his mother, Claudene Bassett; his father, John McLain; grandmother, Mary Ellen Ladd; his siblings, Kimberly Bastin, Noelle LaVasseur, Kierra Brown, Susan LaVasseur, Barbara Beugnot, Brendan McDonald, Amanda LaVasseur, David LaVasseur, and Violet Perry; as well as many aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews, cousins, and extended family members.
