Missing You

Angelique Pless

In memory of a loving, kind and gentle father who was taken much to soon. The pain still hurts like it happened yesterday. Love you dad.

Hey Uncle.

I'm 19 now. I'm in college with wonderful friends and doing wonderful things I never imagined I would. It's really so strange to think about you now. I know you and can feel you and you have this undeniable draw on me, but it's like I can never get a clear view of you in my mind - it's always fuzzy. It doesn't change how I feel, though. I take back what I said about never knowing you. I just still feel robbed that I was so far away from you, but that doesn't discount any of the wonderful conversations we had back then.
I saw that my dad wrote to you a while back. I didn't think he would do something like that, but it's comforting to know he did. It's good to know at that time he was trying to do something to express himself and comfort himself. He was hit especially hard, I think. I still remember the night we found out so vividly it feels like I could go back there at any moment.
I'm sorry this doesn't make much sense, I'm having one of those nights. I miss you. We all really, really miss you. It feels good to know that maybe, somehow, some way, you're reading these. I hope it's in heaven by the grace of God, I really do. But whatever, wherever, and however, I just hope these messages are getting through.

I would like send my condolences to Dez's family. He was a really nice guy with a crazy sense of humor. I met him many years ago in Misawa, Japan. He was really into music and he always talked about how much he loved his mother. I was in the female singing group he created called Deztiny. Our recording sessions were always a blast and he taught me how to write songs. Although it's been 20 years since I've seen or communicated with Dez, I am genuinely saddened by his passing. I will keep those who love him lifted in prayer.

December 27, 2014

Another Christmas ! Your favorite time. You always called on Christmas eve to be sure I still had enough paper and tape to wrap the many gifts you bought. You always did whatever you could to be sure everyone was happy! The girls are so grown up now but I know you know that! I know you are proud of them. Andre and I talk and laugh about the funny things you guys did and we remember. We always remember! We still take it day by day, sometimes minute by minute. I often get lost in thoughts of how things would be if you were here. And I still get angry! I ask God for strength and understanding but I still struggle. I love you and I miss you more than I could describe. Keep looking down on us and until we are together again, we hold you forever in our hearts. I love you always! Mom

Hey Uncle,
I never really got to know you, but I remember talking on the phone with you almost every single day. I wish I could remember your voice. I'm 17 now and I still think about you almost every day... I honestly don't know what to say. I never really got to say goodbye. I had to stay in California during your funeral. I'm sorry I didn't come to see you. I'm sorry we didn't bring you out to California sooner to come visit. Maybe all of this could've been avoided. Who knows? I try to have faith and believe that God has a plan and reason for having taken you, but it's hard, ya know? I was so young. Your daughters were so young; they needed their father. But they've all grown into smart, beautiful young women and I'm so happy I've been able to see them grow. I know you would be proud of all of them. We miss you. Hopefully we'll get to see you on the other side. Rest in Power and Peace, Uncle Dez.

Well, It's been a while, and I do miss you very much. I think about the few memories we shared and the times when I was younger and everything was so simple. Surreal, I guess you could say is the world to describe how your death took a toll on me. It felt so surreal. I'm sixteen now... wow. sixteen. A year out of many that I wish you could be here to witness. Everyone misses you, everyone loved and still loves you. There isn't a day that goes by where you aren't on my mind. So many questions still left unanswered without you here.This weekend, I will be going to New York for my birthday and recognize the imprint you've had on my life I will be dedicated my first tattoo in your memory. Rest easy daddy.
-Love your daughter, Aziah

To my big brother, I want you to know that I have not forgotten you. You are always in my thoughts (but you probably already know that)and so many things remind me of you and the times that we've shared. I find myself at times thinking back about the good times, sometimes I'll laugh and sometimes I cry. You were taken away from me way too soon and I just can't get over that. Time has eased the pain, however it has never gone away and I don't think it ever will. My boyfriend lost his younger brother less than a month ago, it is a devastating feeling, so I can definitely relate to how he is feeling right now. Dez, although I do have other brothers, you are the only one that has ever been there for me like a big brother is supposed to be, you truely lived up to that title and I want to thank you for that. So until we meet again I want you to know that you are truly missed and I love you with all my heart.--Your sister Shequita

Dez my cousin, brother, and best friend. man i tried to work at the shop, to keep your work alive, but i just couldn't keep doing it. often i would be in there and it would feel like you are in the room with me but man its not the same if i cant see you, but trust me when i tell you Corey and Dee are doing a great job. u know for a while i would have dreams that we were still hanging out, but you would be talking about things we are doing at the shop or things going on in our lives all things that happened after we lost you, then the dreams just stopped. i know you are probably sitting up there in heaven thinking of something new to do, but cuz whenever you get a chance atleast come hang out with your cousin maybe we can sit down have a nice dinner and play duck hunter or something(inside joke between me and Dez) Andre you know what i'm talking about. anyway man i miss you, and i will see you again oneday. love your cuzin.

I had the pleasure of meeting Adrian at Briar Vista Elementary. We graduated together in 1988. I still remember the party he had at his home. He was one of my closest friends. We had lots of laughs. I later found out he is a cousin to my great aunt.I had the pleasure of speaking with him some years later after finding out that Superman (tattoo artist) was his father and also my aunt's cousin. It was a long conversation..we had to catch up. I was greatly saddened to hear of his death. I will never forget:I was at home preparing for work when the local news announced his name and the tragic circumstances surronding his death. It made me pull out pictures of my 7th grade year and of course he is in a lot of them. I recently gained knowledge of guestbooks through another friend's death.I know it's been a while since his death but I want the family to know that you guys are in my thoughts. I pray that God will give you the peace that passes all understanding.

I don't know why but this has been a hard week. Maybe its the change in the weather, maybe its cause its getting close to November. I just know that I miss you so much. I see your beautiful smiling face, I see you coming up the stairs, I hear you calling me. I am trying- having the girls helps. They are so much fun and yes, a handful too. So much of what happens in school(especially with Angel) reminds me of you. I still grapple with the reality that I can't pick up the phone and ask you about a movie or a song or that you won't call to ask what I cooked. You are always here in my heart but how I wish you could be in my arms. I love you always.

Dez, this has been the hardest year of my life. And, this is something in my wildest fears I never imagined I would ever have to do. There is so much that we shared and so much more that we still have left to do. It has been hard, but I had continued on the way that I'm sure you would have wanted me to. You are always in my thoughts and prayers, and I know we will see each other again one day. I love you, and miss you very much.

Dear "Tweet", If tears could build a stairway, and memories a lane, I'd walk right up to Heaven and bring you home again. There's not a day that goes by that you are constantly in my thoughts and prayers. Loving and missing you always. Auntie

Dez, being stationed here in Pensacola, FL again, the place where I met you for the first time, brings back a lot of great memories of you. I miss you very much Dez. I still can't beleive that you are gone, but then again your not, you will always be here in spirit, and I know that you are looking at all of your friends and family and smiling as you see all the love you have from your family and friends. Man I know that guys don't always say that they Love someone as often as we should, but Dez I Love you and Miss you. Your boy Kory.

"Dez"--You tried and tried to get me to call you Dez, instead of Adrian for so long. I know you are flashing that smile now. A year has almost gone by and the pain is still very much there. But one night...Angel pointed to the BRIGHTEST star in the sky and said, "Do you see that bright star?", That's my Daddy." So, now many times at night I am looking for that bright star and forever will be reminded of you and the joy you brought to so many. Dez, you will forever be in our memories. We love you and will ALWAYS miss you. It's still so very hard--there is not a day that goes by that I do not think of you--I always see that smile...who would have known that that smile would have meant so much. Thank you Dez for sharing that smile with all of us. I can not believe that I can honestly say that I miss you running your hands through my hair--every time we saw each other. You will always be remembered.

In much love,

Your cousin...Kimberly Tolbert-Cole

It's been almost a year since my cousins death and i still miss him more and more each day.Its hard for me to drive pass the tattoo shop without crying. Every time i see a car like one of the cars that he used to have i cry. They say time heals all wounds but i dont think that there is enough time in the world to heal me from this. I Love You.

Bruh, its still hard for me to accept. I still have the article Tonya sent me, I froze the day she told me. It's crazy to know that I would not have such a grind for business if it was not for me jumping in the trenches with you and grinding out little hustles here and there. Our first, was the label in Japan...DezignationShawn...lol was the name of the label...Man we had all the energy and drive using the minimum of resources in the mountains of Japan. Funny thing is now that I am back in this music game things are working out for the good and its actually the same concept we used there that has got things popping like they are now. Bruh I would have never known my last time seeing you would have been when you came to FWB to visit your boi. And although we still spoke after then, we left each other not exactly on the square. Just know that I never looked at you any less and I still have mad Love for you bruh. Your my brother and I Miss you Boi. I know you are looking down on me bruh, things are clicking and business is well. Your spirit lives on Bruh.

IT HAS BEEN SEVERAL MONTHS SINCE DEZ PASSED AND I STILL DOES NOT SEEM REAL. IT SEEMS THAT I CAN STILL GO HOLLA AT MY BOY ANY GIVEN DAY THAT I AM ON MEMORIAL DR. WORDS OF FAITH FOR THE FAMILY: MY MOTHER PASSED SEVERAL YEARS AGO AND I STILL TALK TO HER DAILY. TALK TO DEZ, HE CAN HEAR YOU. AND BELEIVE IT OR NOT... HE IS WORKING WITH THE GOOD LORD TO BLESS YOU. I CRY EVERY TIME I THINK ABOUT DEZ BUT I KNOW THAT HE DOES NOT HAVE TO SORRY ABOUT THE TORMENT THAT THIS WORLD HAS TO OFFER.

MUCH LOVE DEZ.

It has been 5 months and the memories are still there and now more than ever you are being missed. Going by your mom's house to drop off Imani just seems so different.

Whenever I see an Intrepid, Excursion, Concord or even passing by Glenwood or Memorial Dr brings back alot of thoughts and memories.

Since your passing I have learned two of the most valuable things:

First and foremost: If the LORD brings you to it, he will bring you through it, and that he won't put more on you than you can bare!

Lastly: The tongue is the most powerful weapon that we are born with, so "CHOOSE" your words carefully because the next second is not promised.

It is sad that it took this for me to learn those lessons, however I am a true believer that "EVERYTHING" happens for a reason.

To the family of Adrian "Dez" Pless

Today is May 31, 2005

With my heart felt sympathy, I am so terribly sorry to hear about the loss of Dez. You don't know me but Dez and I were friends. I met him in the studio. To me, Dez was the type of person to keep a smile on ones face no matter what. You never knew what was going to come out of his mouth. It was always something from left field. I never seen him to be a negative person. He was always positive.

It is going on 2 hours now that I have known about his death. I went by the studio today to let him know that I was leaving the state and wanted to exchange info so we could keep in touch. His second hand counterpart was there and told me the devastating news. My heart just stopped. What a senseless act of stupidity.

Family, Dez is not your loss alone. Everyone that he has ever had contact with has loss a great individual. I say that to say, you are not alone. Dez touched a lot of hearts by just having a simple conversation with them. Dez was very unique as well as talented. Those who take pride in getting tattoos and body piercings who received services from Dez, will always remember him. I know I will. I saw the pilot "Tatted Reality" his up and coming TV show and I knew right then and there his business was about to explode and take off even more so. There was nothing on TV like it. This was real Talent and Art in the making. Its a shame that he was taken so suddenly. I could go on and on but just know this, Dez continues to live on in our hearts as well as in our thoughts.

Family, hang in there and ask the LORD for strength. Mimi, if you need anything, do not hesitate to contact me.

Dez, you are greatly missed and I know our paths will cross again on the other side. R.I.P

Your Friend,

Joycelyn Peeples

*Sighs deeply*

My heart goes out to the family of this wonderful, person that I've know for such a short time. Dez was the most coolest and nice person that I have met. I will miss him dearly. He was like a brother and a friend to me. It's a shame the way life works. One minute you're hear and the next minute, you're gone. I just thought that it wouldn't happen to Dez. I remember him saying to me, "When you get your next tattoo, I'll re-shade the other one in for you." Well, I missed out, because his life was taken away too soon. It really broke my heart when I heard that he had passed away.... I miss him so very much. I met his fiancee' before. She's very nice, indeed. My heart goes out to her and the rest of the family. This is for you Dez:

"MISS YOU"

Your time was called,

But way too soon,

All that I know is,

I'm really going to miss you.

Why did you have to go?

I guess I'll never really know,

You made me smile,

You made me laugh,

I miss you already, man.

MINITA-

I ONLY MET YOU AND ADRIAN ONCE ABOUT A WEEK BEFORE THIS HAPPENED. I HAVE ASKED GOD A MILLION TIMES WHY HIM? HE WAS SUCH A FUNNY, AND UNIQUE INDIVIDUAL WHO LOVED LIFE. PLEASE KNOW THAT HE LOVED YOU AND THE GIRLS. ALL HE WAS TALKING ABOUT WHILE I WAS IN THE STUDIO WAS THAT HE WAS GOING TO MISS A DATE WITH CHUCKY CHEESE AND HIS DAUGHTERS. HIS MEMORY WILL LIVE ON THRU YOU AND HIS FAMILY. GOD BLESS ALL OF YOU! I AM VERY SORRY AND MY PRAYERS ARE WITH YOU ALL.

To the Pless Family:

My prayers and deepest sympathy goes out to the Family of Adrian "DEZ" Pless. I was stationed w/DEZ and his roommate while in Pensacola, FL. I'm still in shock and at a lost for words to say, but he'll be missed. I'm sure he's in a better place and will always be in our hearts. I'll keep you in my prayers and always remember:

The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want.

He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters.

He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name’s sake.

Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.

Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.

Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the LORD for ever. AMEN

God Bless,

The Bracy's

It is a MUST that I start off by thanking GOD for all his MANY blessings and gifts that he has supplied to Imani and myself. Adrian taught me to be the best mother that I could be to Imani and I know that he is looking down at her and is so impressed with how much she has learned... She tells me everyday that she talked to him in her prayers and that she loves him!!

Superman, I'm sorry for your lost, I've know you and your son for quite sometime now and I'm praying for you daily, Dez had a gift that you helped birth out of him thanks to you he met thousands of people because of his work now that he's gone his memories will last a lifetime and I pray that you find it in your heart to find a good person such as your son to continue to run his business. once again he will be deeply missed.. May God continue to smile upon you and keep you covered under His wing.. I love you very much.

I would like to express how truly sorry i am for your lost.

Dez and I were good friends. And I hate I never returned his last call to me.

He was my tattoo artist he had a great talent.

But I know he's in a better place, then all of us.

So Dez, I know you can hear me, just keep a watch over your family and they will get through this horribly time.

Love always

Delores,

It has been a long time since we talked. I heard about Adrian. I can not imagine the pain you are in. I wanted to send you a poem someone sent me during a rough time in my life.

And God Said.....

I said, "God I hurt".

And God said "I know".

I said "God, I cry a lot."

And God said "Thats why I gave you tears."

I said "God I am so depressed."

And God said "Thats why I gave you sunshine."

I said, "God, Life is so hard."

And God said, "Thats why I gave you loved ones."

I said, "God, mine died."

And God said, "So did mine."

I said, "God,it is such a loss."

And God said, "I saw mined nailed to a cross."

I said, "God, your loved one lives."

And God said, "So does yours."

I said, God, "Where are they now?"

And God said, "Mine is on My right and yours is in the Light."

I said, "God it hurts."

And God said "I know."

Know that we have your family in our prayers.....

Nancy and Joel Martin

To Delores - I am praying a lot for you right now. I just found out in the past hour. When we worked together we always asked about each others children and the last time I saw you we did the same. I am feeling so sad right now. I don't know what to say, but I hope the prayer below helps everyone feel a little better. God Bless You and your family and I will continue the strong prayers being sent for you at this time.

Poem:

I'll Always Be

On earth I was God’s solider.

On earth I was a friend.

On earth I was a father,

and a loved one;

Til the end.

Some say I was “More Than Special”

Some say I was above them all.

Some say I dealt with reason.

Some say I was their beckoning call.

But this was not my mission,

my mission was my love.

And now my mission's over.

To be with my master up above.

A peaceful, restful journey

Is now what I must take.

And praise God for his glory

for in his arms I’ll wake.

But through it all I'll remember.

The love that walked with me.

The cherishing and guidance

which led me to be free.

I'll rest now from all worries.

I'll rest now from all despair.

I'll rest where angels glory.

As God's hand leads me there.

And as you have the memories.

Of what we all have shared.

Remember that I loved you.

And thanks for being there.

For “I” will always be.

In memory of: Adrian Pless

Dez

I can not believe that you are gone. Now more than ever I wish I would have returned your last phone call to me. I have loved you for a long time and I will never stop loving you. Your big smile and silly ways will always stay with me. It's hard knowing that I can't see or talk to you when I want to. You have always been there for me and I don't know how I'm suppose to get over loosing you. I know you can see and hear me everyday, and that's the only thing that comforts me. I miss you so much and I will always love you.

I have known Adrian all of my life. He was my Godbrother. He called me his sister and treated me as such, but more than that, he was a true friend. I will never forget his kindness, his sense of humor, or his fun-loving spirit. Godmother Delores, you know if you all need anything, we are just a phone call away. Stay strong and know that God is there to comfort and keep you.

Love,

The Nelms Family

Sorry to the friends and family of Adrian Pless. I lost a friend on that night too. I didn't know "DEZ" but I was friends with the suspect who also was killed that night. Although he has passed, I hope that you (Adrian and family) will forgive him for the pain he has caused your children, family, and friends. Now my friend's daughter doesn't have a father now too, and we're lost for words. God bless you and once again I'm sorry.

to my aunt delores,uncle welborn, andre,angel,aziah,imani,& meme. i write this to you with great sympathy. i never thought i could lose a cousin, a best friend, and abrother all at the same time, because he was, is, and will forever be all three to me, but this is not the end, we will see him again. just continue to think about the good times we all had with him, and know that i am here to help you with whatever you need. i'm just a phone call away. while some things may never be the same, i refuse to let anybody forget my cousin, my brother, my best friend. knowing how he is i know he is probably looking at me right now, and he is going to call me soft for saying this, but Adrian aka Dez i love you and i miss you. i know you are looking out for me. we will see each other again.

My heart and my prayers go out to Dez's entire family and especially his 2 little girls. I pray that God will forever be with them and guide their lives. There is no way to describe the pain of losing a love one, all I know is the pain of losing a good friend. He will always be in my heart and remembered forever for the things that he did that touched my life.

With so much love,

Sheila and Sharon

Adrian will truly be missed--I will miss his smile, his teasing and aggrevating me (in a playful type of way :) ) and most of all his fun-loving spirit. Delores and Welborn--I keep you in my prayers and know that we are always here to do whatever you need--you know that we are only a phone call away--just let us know.

I much love,

The Cole Family
