Adam Vint
January 10, 1994 ~ March 4, 2025
Born in:
Wayne, NJ
Resided in:
Asheville, NC
Adam Vint was born in Wayne, NJ, on January 10, 1994, on a freezing morning that was warmed by his entrance to this world. He passed away, all too soon, on March 4, 2025. He leaves behind his mother, Laurie, father, Michael, and brother, Jacob.
Adam was gifted with a curiosity of everything and an intellect to match. He had a generous heart to match his kind soul. He was well known to drop anything for a friend in need.
His younger years were in Austin, TX, until he moved to Asheville, NC, during high school. As a teen, he played lacrosse and cello. He had an explorer’s heart with a love for camping and search for faith.
After high school, he learned the culinary trade and worked ski seasons in the resorts of Colorado. During his second season out west, he discovered an interest in mechanics and came back to Asheville to complete a mechanics course. From that, he worked several jobs as a general mechanic, in auto body and was beginning to learn the trucking business when he passed.
During his life he expressed interest in many religions and had recently been attending church before leaving us to be with the Lord. While his journey in this life was too short, his love will continue in our hearts.
His family will receive friends beginning at 2:00 p.m. on Tuesday, March 11, at Groce Funeral Home on Tunnel Rd. The memorial service will follow at 3:00 p.m. A livestream of the service will be broadcast below on this page at service time.

You were such a bright, unique and fun presence in my life. I’ll always remember the summer of 2009 when you stayed with us in Santa Cruz, how enthusiastic you got about making juice with my mom every day, and how you laughed the whole way through Pineapple Express when we went and saw it in the theatre. Your sense of humor, your fun and curious spirit and your gentleness will never ever be forgotten, nor will the memories I have of you. I love you forever and ever.
– Cousin Julie
All the times I have got to know you, you have been honor to get to know. I remember asking family “How’s Adam?” It brought me joy to hear your voice and see your contagious laugh and your jokes were so funny, sharing to other family members. The times we had on vacations on the beach and at the house on family gatherings. I remember the time I was in high school, we went night swimming in Myrtle Beach and I had the time of my life paddle boarding and going on the boat rides with you in the lake. You showed me what it means to have family that cares and have a good time. I remember asking you questions and taking me out in your car and bike in the neighborhood and just appreciating everything and everybody around you. I will never forget your genuine authentic company, friendship we both shared. You are forever loved. Rest in peace my friend cousin
Time is too slow; For those who wait
Too Swift; For those who Fear
Too Long; For those who Grieve
Too short; For those who Rejoice
But For Those Who Love; Time is Eternity
Laurie, heartfelt sympathy for your sad loss.

Dear Laurie, My deepest sympathy for your tragic loss. Condolences to you and your family, he was too young.
So sorry you’re going through this. Adam was a good hearted and kind man. He will be greatly missed.
A lasting impression remains.
Our heartfelt sympathy goes out to you.
Hey Adam , This is Glenn your Dad’s friend. I considered me and you pretty good buds when you were just a kid. I remember us laughing really hard over and over again at MY childish jokes. Rest in Peace my young friend. I know you had a good heart, and it will be with us forever.

I’ll never forget the time when I stopped by your house on my way back home in California. You were about 4 years old. I was only there for a couple days but it was enough to see what a good person you were with a big heart. You will surely be missed.
Adam always greeted me with a warm smile when I visited Asheville making sure we had planned some time together. A kind sensitive person with big heart that I will never forget and will miss and remember forever.
There are no words to ease the heartbreak of losing a child, especially after so much love, effort, and hope. My heart aches for you both.
Adam was a childhood friend of my son, Tom Ostertag’s, at Hill Country and Westlake and I had to opportunity to get to know him during this time. Adam was a kind, loving, generous young man with a happy countenance. He was a good friend to Tom and all the neighborhood and lacrosse team kids. I cannot imagine the grief you are enduring at losing him. I send you love and positive energy and the strength to carry on and bind the precious memories you have to your hearts. I am sending Adam love and God’s blessings as he enters his kingdom.
May peace be with you both.
With love,
Samantha
Apologies, Mike, meant to include you in my note as well. Sending you love and blessings as well.
Lives evolve and paths diverge. I watched Adam search for his way. I suffered from afar through the years of his parents fighting an evil enemy they couldn’t see, touch or understand. They never gave up on Adam even through countless heartbreaks and what must have at times felt like wars of futility.
On a rare visit of mine to Laurie, Adam was upset and stormed out her front door. I found him sitting on the side of her house and pulled up a patch of grass to join him. He was drawing and had a gift for art. Our little chat was as deep as I ever got with Adam and I liked to think at the time that I inspired him. I didn’t.
I once heard, “You can’t rationalize the irrational, so don’t try.” I don’t pretend to understand the loss of Adam, or other friends who went that way or the misery shared around the world from it. I can only pray for all those who loved Adam and wish them recovery as time allows.
And I hope that Adam’s story is told often to many. The only potentially positive sliver that might be in this tragedy is if somebody in need of it takes the moral to heart and it rattles them enough to break out of their own invisible shackles.
Wow!
God, bless Adam as he makes his journey to you. Amen
