We were so sorry to hear of Adrian's passing and it's hard to know what to say....we are sure he is with his mother and that is a comfort to us. We are thinking of you, Keith, and his other family and friends. A terrible thing to happen.

Adrian, it just doesn't seem right that you are gone so soon. Your mom would tell such heartwarming stories of you (I remember a picture of you two figure skating!) it was obvious she loved you soooo much - you are together now. My condolences to Uncle Keith and all those you leave behind.

Over the nearly five years together we had some amazing memories:) We will hold onto them close to our hearts & remember them often. You will be missed but never forgotten.

For a solid decade it was rare to see one of us without the other. My golf partner, debate partner, work partner, gym partner, drinking partner, lunch partner, video game partner…... I can't imagine ever knowing someone with whom I have so much to discuss or with whom I so enjoy discussion. You made me a better person and after two weeks of missing you and nearly endless thoughts…..I can say with conviction that you still do. I miss you Adrian and I always will but I now realize that you are not gone, only changed. Thanks for sticking with me kid.

Adrian, I am so glad we had some time together fall. Never thought it would be the last time. I can't find the words to express my grief. You were the most sincere man I've ever met. There was comfort in knowing you were always there for support in bad times, to laugh in good times. You were wise for your years and always willing to share your wisdom. Your laugh, that look on your face when you disapproved and your calming touch will be missed. The Lord always takes the best of us to soon, sit at his side. Your spirit will always live in my heart. My deepest sympathy to your father, whom you spoke of so often, with so much love. May you rest in peace always dear friend!

I am so sad to hear this has happened. I know it has been many years since I have seen you, but you were a part of my family for so many more. You were my big brother that I looked up to while we were growing up. I am so honoured to have had you in my life as a part of my family. I will always cherish the last time I saw you at Scott's and my wedding. I only wish we had stayed in touch over the years. May you Rest In Peace with your mum.
To Keith, we are so sorry for your loss and are thinking of you and all of his friends during this time.

Adrian, I know you will never read this but I am deeply sorry that you have left this world. I will always have great memories of you and our times back at Romeo High School, and Alward's Supermarket, and our fun nights with Ian M. Although I didn't see you enough, the times I did get to see you always felt like no time had passed. I'll miss you, your sense of humor, and your infectious laugh. See ya on the other side one day! Love and fond memories, Sarah

When I heard that you had left us, I was simply blown away. How could that be possible? We were laughing yesterday.

Your dry wit and humor, your grin and devilish smile - no one knew what you'd do next - you had a unique style!

Always there for everyone, so dependable and sincere. Kind, gentle, and caring - it felt good to have you near.

So my dear departed Adrian, I will think of you each day; peace and rest and comfort I hope you've found today.

Your last words to me will help my tears dry - you blew a kiss and said, "Hey, Tiny, love ya, bye!"

Godspeed, my dear Adrian - how I loved you!
