Adrian Medley Obituary

ATHENS - Adrian Thomas Medley, 38, of Athens, died in a tragic accident in Seattle, Washington, on Friday, Oct. 21, 2016. Born Aug. 7, 1978 in Minneapolis, Minnesota, he is survived by his wife, Heather, mother, Holly, father, Tom, his brothers, Orion and Tristan (Jessica), beloved nephew, Liam, a huge loving family and uncountable friends.
Adrian was a kind, loving soul who wanted nothing more than to make others happy. His joy and love of music were infectious. He always had a smile on his face and a song in his heart. Adrian lived all over the country and touched so many lives and hearts everywhere he went. The people who love and care for him are legion and his family have been deeply honored by the tremendous outpouring of love and support they have received over the past week.
A wake is set for Nov. 5 at 7 p.m. at The Dairy Barn in Athens. A memorial service will take place at Athens First Presbyterian Church Sunday, Nov. 6 at 3 p.m. followed by a potluck gathering with music and memories at The Dairy Barn. A memorial service will be planned later in Minnesota.

So very sad, you should still be here with us.
I'll never forget you and your brothers,
What we on the crew called the Brohios.
so full of life and bristling with tons of expectation. You, Tris, John. I'll never forget the experience.
I'll never forget the fact that it was you and your brother that brought your wonderful mother into my life. Often times we don't see all the impacts of one life until it has transformed everyone around it.
Be free to be you, and be free to love.

Always with you and those you love,
Rob

To all the family of Adrian, I am so sorry for your sudden loss. May one of my favorite verse from Psalms bring you all comfort during your time of grieving. Psalms 72:12-14 .

Dear Holly and Tom,
Our deepest sympathy on the loss of your son. We know what you are going through because our son Chris died a few years ago, just a bit older than Aidan. We found it helpful to remember that those we love never really leave us. They live on in the kindnesses they shared, and the love they brought into our lives.
God's comfort and peace,
Nick and Lillian Dinos

Adrian fills my thoughts a lot at this time. I loved his beautiful energy. On our to few times together he made this old guy feel much younger. You left us way to soon.
