Adam Wayne Lassiter

Adam Wayne Lassiter, 41, went home to be with the Lord on February 24, 2024, in New Hanover Regional Medical Center peacefully with family and friends by his side.
He is survived by his mother, Martha Lanier Currie of Leland and father, Gary Wayne Lassiter of Kinston. He is preceded in death by his maternal grandparents, Leslie Lanier and Mary Raynor Lanier, and paternal grandparents Alvin Earl Lassiter and Frances Langston Lassiter.
Born December 30th, 1982, in New Hanover County, his love of music began early, with many Sundays spent at Grandma Mary's, where the family would gather for pickin' and grinnin', and singing old gospel songs. Adam was saved at 13 years old at a Carman concert where he began his love for Jesus Christ, his Lord and Savior. He had many talents, playing trumpet in high school and picking up the guitar and piano from his uncle Bill and Aunt Morlene, to playing drums and singing. Oh, how we loved to hear him sing! He spent several years in praise and worship bands as well as leading them. So many talents and such a blessing to all that heard him. He also played in other bands and the drums throughout the years in various locations as well as being a fantastic DJ. He was a True Entertainer. But above all, Praise and Worship is where his heart was.
Outside of church, Adam had other jobs through the years at the Court House in Brunswick County and then being a probation officer. When you asked him, he did not like being a probation officer, but he could adapt wherever he was and he used the opportunity to witness to those in need and befriend those that needed it because even though it was not allowed in his position, he knew that's what Jesus would do.
His family and friends always felt so loved by Adam, but nothing compares to the bond between him and his mother. This beloved son was her protector, her confidant, and her best friend. They were so in tune with each other, they would finish each other's sentences.
As part of a post on his Facebook page says: "Have you ever met someone who was just good? Kind and funny and joyful? Not a mean bone in their body kind of good? Adam was that kind of person. He loved God and used his musical gifts to bring people to Him, even if you weren't sure where you were on that journey.".
He was loved by Many and will be Greatly Missed!
