Adrian Beaver Obituary
A memorial service is scheduled on Saturday, September 8, 2012 with a public visitation at 9 a.m. followed by a service at 10 a.m. at the ChangePoint Church located at 6689 ChangePoint Drive, Anchorage.
Adrian attended Nunaka Valley Elementary, Rogers Park Elementary along with various other schools in the Anchorage area as well as schools in Seattle and Lake Tahoe.
In 2003 Adrian enrolled himself in the Alaska Military Youth Academy and before starting, he donated his beautiful hair to Lock of Love so someone who was sick could benefit. Adrian graduated from the Alaska Military Youth Academy with his High School Diploma. This was a special time for Adrian, he was very happy as were his friends and family of his accomplishment.
Adrian grew up playing on many Anchorage Youth Hockey Teams. He thoroughly enjoyed the sport and team spirit. One of the years he played hockey with the Anchorage Boys Club Bulldog Team, they went undefeated that season.
In 1997 he lived in Lake Tahoe with his father and brother Emilio and together they traveled to San Francisco, Reno, and San Jose. Also, during this time together, they took a trip to Victoria British Columbia so his father could play in a hockey tournament. Once back in Anchorage he lived with his mother.
Adrian was a free spirit and lived the way he wanted to live. He enjoyed so many adventures camping throughout Alaska, boating on Big Lake with his Aunt Cori and Uncle Richard as well as the times spent four wheeling and dirt bike riding at Jim Creek.
Adrian is survived by his only child Jayden Beaver age 7; mother Teresa Ackers; father Emelio Beaver; brother Emilio Beaver; sisters Mikisha Ackers and Teena Mikes; grandfather Michael Dozette and grandmother Liz Beaver along with a very long list of extended family and friends throughout Alaska and the lower 48.
Adrian was preceded in death by his grandmothers Gloria Dozette and Jean Dickson of Anchorage and his grandfather Fiztgerald Beaver of Seattle.
Adrian's beautiful smile dimples, and laughter will never be forgotten and we thank God for giving him to us.
A memorial fund has been set up for Adrian's son, Jayden Beaver, at Wells Fargo for anyone who would like to donate.
Arrangements are with Janssen's Evergreen Memorial Chapel; to sign the guestbook please visit www.janssenfuneralhomes.com.
To plant trees in memory, please visit the Sympathy Store.

I think about your everyday! My heart will always have an empty space for you. Our son is amazing! He has all of your humorous, loving, and caring qualities with only a little mischief, lol. I missed you before you were taken away, now that feeling is immensely filled with what I should have told you, what I could have done or said. Love you always Adrian!!!

Adrian, my crazy, wonderful, handsome big brother .. I miss you so much, words couldn't even begin to explain. you were so young & had so much ahead of you, you always told me your plans every time I seen you of what you wanted to work towards & what you planned on doing, I know if things wouldn't of got cut short how they did you would of did what you always wanted to do & what you always had the potential of doing. I got to see Jayden & Sapora which was beyond amazing & I took Jayden 4 wheeling & he loved it. :) but I'm sure you already know so idk why I'm telling you. lol I've been around your Dad a lot lately & he's a really cool guy, that's my buddy right there! mom & him miss you very much, he's brought a lot of much needed laughs to all of us kind of like you did all the time. :) I miss your dimples & that smirk you always had on your face when you're up to something. lol you were the best big brother ever & nobody can replace what you were to me. it's going to be a long rough road to really push through this, but I'm doing my best to take care of everyone & vise versa. I always said that we were a force together when it came to handling mom, like how is she gonna stop both of us?! she can't. hahahaha you know we're crazy & so is she. lol :) I'm gonna take care of mommy & the rest of the family like you would have wanted & you take care of grandma, deal? lol I love you & miss you with all my heart. take care up there Angel <3
