It is with the deepest sadness that we, Adam’s Mum and Dad, have to announce the passing of our beautiful boy, Adam McClelland. On Wednesday, 7 January 2026, at just 26 years old, Adam’s life was tragically cut short following a fatal collision on Wimborne Road in Poole.

Adam was a light in our lives—vibrant, kind-hearted, and one of eight brothers. But the role he cherished above all else was being a father. He leaves behind two young sons, aged six and four, who were the absolute centre of his world.

We are struggling to come to terms with this sudden loss, and as we navigate the ongoing police investigation, we want to ensure Adam’s legacy is honoured and his children and their Mum are cared for.

We have set up this fund to help with:

To cover the funeral and memorial costs, so we can give Adam the dignified farewell he deserves.

Every penny raised beyond the funeral costs will be placed into a fund for his two boys. We want to ensure they have a small safety net for their future as they grow up without their dad.

To protect our grandsons during this incredibly sensitive time, we will not be sharing their names or photos publicly. We appreciate your understanding in helping us guard their privacy while we all grieve.

A Request for Information We are also appealing to anyone who was in the area of Wimborne Road and Heath Avenue around 2:00 am on 7 January. If you have dashcam footage or any information, please contact Dorset Police quoting occurrence number 55260002554.

Thank you for your kindness, your donations, and for helping us keep Adam’s memory alive for his children.

With love and gratitude, Adam’s Mum and Dad
