Victor Raymond Adams

Victor Raymond Adams, age 90, of Eau Claire, Michigan, passed away on July 4, 2026. He was born on March 6, 1936, in Eau Claire, Michigan, and lived a life marked by love, kindness, and steady devotion to the people and interests that mattered most to him.

Victor worked as a forklift operator, a job that reflected his dependable nature and strong work ethic. He was known by those who loved him as a handy man who could always be counted on, and he carried himself with a quiet strength that earned the respect of family, friends, and all who knew him. He was caring, had a big heart, and was the kind of father and grandfather who made others feel supported and valued.

He especially enjoyed collecting tractors and was an active member of the 2-Cylinder Club out of Berrien Springs. That interest brought him joy and connected him with others who shared his appreciation for hard work, history, and the simple satisfaction of well-kept machinery. His involvement in the club was one more reflection of the pride he took in his hobbies and the friendships he built along the way.

Victor is survived by his three children, Ray Adams (Val Elliott), Lonna Adams (Ernest Glasgow), and Pam Adams (Mike Nichols). He is also survived by five step-children, Beverly (Floyd Barnes) Eubanks, James (Sherry) Eubanks, David Eubanks, Brian (Debbie) Eubanks, and Cliff (Annette) Eubanks, along with numerous grandchildren and great-grandchildren who will carry forward his memory. He is further survived by his brother, Steve Adams.

He was preceded in death by his parents, Erma and Rudy Adams, his loving wife, Naomi Adams, his siblings, Marilyn, Diane, John, and his stepdaughter Toni Eubanks. Their passing marked deep losses in his life, and now he is reunited with them in eternal rest.

Victor will be remembered as a loving, kind, and handy man whose presence brought comfort and stability to those around him. He was a good dad, a devoted family man, and someone whose big heart left a lasting impression on everyone fortunate enough to know him. His legacy lives on in the family he cherished, the memories he created, and the example he set through a life lived with warmth, humility, and care.

Those wishing to make a memorial donation in honor of Victor have been asked to consider the Michiana 2 Cylinder Club, 9122 Old 31, Berrien Springs, Michigan.
