In Loving Memory of Adam Basauri — A Young Life Gone Too Soon
PITTSBURG, Kan. — With heavy hearts and profound sorrow, the Pittsburg community, along with the town of Girard, is mourning the tragic and senseless loss of Adam Basauri, an 18-year-old whose life was cut short Friday evening after he was fatally shot at Schlanger Park. What should have been a time of youth, hope, and new beginnings ended in devastating heartbreak, leaving family, friends, and an entire community struggling to understand a loss that feels both sudden and unfair.
Adam was just beginning his journey into adulthood. At 18, his life was filled with promise—dreams taking shape, goals waiting to be pursued, and a future full of possibility. To those who knew him, Adam was more than a young man taken too soon; he was a son deeply loved, a friend who mattered, and a presence whose absence is now painfully felt. He carried a youthful spirit and a heart that connected him to those around him.
The tragedy at Schlanger Park has shaken the community, turning a place of gathering and recreation into a site of mourning and reflection. In the wake of Adam’s passing, there is grief, disbelief, and a shared sense of loss that extends far beyond his immediate circle. The community has come together in sorrow, offering prayers, comfort, and solidarity to Adam’s loved ones during this unimaginably difficult time.
As friends and family remember Adam, they hold tightly to memories—moments of laughter, conversations shared, and the unique light he brought into their lives. Though his time on earth was far too brief, the impact of his life will not be measured by its length, but by the love he gave and the connections he made.
We extend our deepest condolences to Adam Basauri’s family, friends, and all who are mourning his loss. May you find strength in one another, comfort in cherished memories, and peace in knowing that Adam’s life had meaning and will never be forgotten.
May Adam Basauri rest in eternal peace. His memory will live on in the hearts of Girard, Pittsburg, and all who knew and loved him. 🕊️
