Gainesville - His Life Story…….Adrian Lloyd Stacy, ("Ace")…..was born on April 14, 1981, in Gainesville, Florida, to the Late Barbara Ann Stacy and Robert Vinson, Sr. He attended Gainesville High School, in Gainesville, FL.
Adrian, was employed with the City of Gainesville Recreation and Parks, until his health began to fail.
