Adam Arias Obituary
After 15 lymphoma-related surgeries, Margit Arias never thought she would live to see as much of the world as her husband, Adam P. Arias, wanted to show her. So for their third wedding anniversary on Sept. 5, Mr. Arias, 37, surprised her with a globe encrusted with semiprecious stones.
They had married 18 months after the stark diagnosis. He prodded and cajoled her through treatment. During chemotherapy week, he did everything around their Staten Island apartment. But he would deliberately put his cigar ashtray in the wrong place, to jolt Mrs. Arias, a neatness fanatic, out of her chemo stupor. When she felt stronger, Mr. Arias would take her to a movie, on trips out of town; he even nudged her onto a golf course.
He was determined she would make it. A workaholic, he rose to a vice presidency at Euro Brokers with only a high school equivalency diploma. He was scary-smart ‹ at 7, he knew the names of all the presidents, their wives and their parties ‹ but not intimidatingly so, with a wicked wit and another life as a bar balladeer, covering songs from Tony Bennett and Meat Loaf.
On Sept. 11, he was determined that others would make it, too. He lingered, prodding colleagues to leave. Last week, Mrs. Arias had her 16th operation. "I didn't want to," she said. "But Adam fought too hard to keep me alive."

Hey. Was looking at a message between Margit and I. It was about 3 weeks before she passed last year. She missed you so much. She fought fiercely. I pray that you two are together and are serenading her with a beautiful ballad. Twenty years and still missing you.

It's hard to believe it's been 20 years since you celebrated a birthday here on earth. I think of what it would've been like had you survived that fateful day. You'd be 57 years old and we'd still be yucking it up. Miss you my brother. I think of you always and will never forget what a truly bright light you were to the family. Happy birthday. Till we meet again. Don

Hi Adam,
I didn't know you and you didn't know me but I hope you're resting easy up there. A few people at my company ran up 110 flights of stairs this morning and I chose you to wear on my shirt.
Much love to your family and friends.

Dear Margit,
Thinking of you especially today. Robbie turned 18 this past December, and Adam (your Adam's namesake) hit double-digits! urning 10 in May. I am sure his guardian angel is looking down from heaven and watching and protecting them. It's crazy times we live in. Sending you lots of hugs and prayers. Love, Debbie, Robbie, Adam & Gigi

Hi Sweetie.... As my day is coming to an end I sit here thinking about you.... Missing you, hoping that you are resting peacefully but with tomorrow being the day that God took you home I can't help but feeling sad....
I pray that you are still looking/watching over me. As you probably know, yesterday I had my scan and they changed my contrast drink and it has had a horrible reaction on me... Tomorrow I go back to Memorial Sloan for my results and I also pray that this feeling I have in the pit of my stomach is from yesterday and not for tomorrow....
I will always love and miss you!
Take good care of Wrinkles... I knew you'd love him!!!!!
Love Always and Forever,

Hard to believe your 50th birthday was only a few weeks ago. Although I never had the chance to meet you, I'm constantly reminded by the family about how much I resemble you from personality to appearance; definitely some big shoes to fill. Your bravery and love towards others gives me reason to persevere through the tough times. I can only hope that one day I'll aspire to your greatness and make you proud. Your spirit lives on, Adam. Love you.

Hey bro,
Just celebrated your 50th birthday here in my own way. I think you know. Always imagined us playing golf during these years. Gave it up. No time, no skill. Still have the clubs though. Things are good. You figured prominently into Nick's college essays. He's at the Naval Academy now. (Stay with him.) He's got a lot of your traits. Vincent is coming along and your scholarship continues to grow. You'd be proud. Will never forget. Will always fight the good fight. Miss you. ...Always,
-- Don

on 9/11/2013 I rode down to DC on my bike to ride in the "2 Million Bikers To DC"run in honor of all those that lost there lives and a friend who gave his life in tower two as a fire fighter. At the sign in I was given your name on a sticker and wore it proudly on my shirt. I took a picture of my shirt incase it blew off during the ride and I would not forget you. I googled your name and found this page and thought id say that I was proud to ride for you in your Honor.

Dear Margit, Our thoughts and prayers are with you and Adam's family always, but especially today as we remember and honor all those lost on 9/11/01. It's uncanny that the sky is almost as blue today as it was that horrific day 12 years ago when we lost 61 Eurobrokers friends. No matter how much time passes, we will never forget your Adam, my Adam Joseph's namesake. Adam is now 9 years old, and in 4th grade. His older brother, Robbie, will be 18 in December. They are each others' best friends. I know our special guardian angel in Heaven is watching over them. Miss you and love you. God Bless.
Debbie, Robbie, and Adam

Hello again,
It's that time again, the television is filled with images of that day and with each one I think of you and your sweet family and send up a prayer that they are well and happy. This year, we have a new student on our campus. He reminded me very much of your nephew, Nicholas but his name is Adam. So I send up another prayer for your family. Just a little reminder that you are never forgotten.
September 11, 2012
My heart goes out to you and your family. Words cannot express. Just from reading a little about you, I could tell that you were a kind,varying, and loving person. You showed your wife the true meaning of hope, when all hope seemed lost. You were truly an amazing and compassionate person. Both you and your family are in my thoughts and prayers today.

Dear Adam,
I usually don't write, but I just arrived at work and thought - what the heck! Just thinking of you and your family... . You are in always in my thoughts, not just today, but every day. Adam, we had a lot of great times together and I could never forget you. I am thankful that you have reunited me and Margit. (Keep an eye on her.) Oh, and just a funny note - my son Anthony wants to put a band together . He has what I call an "old soul". He's 16 he likes to play (bass and guitar) and sing the "older music". He's not as good of a crooner as you - but he sure does try! He's a little more operatic than crooner but he loves it - like you. Bye my friend.

Hi Sweetie... 11 years ago today, you were taken from us...... It still feels like just yesterday at times and sometimes it feels like a life time ago.... No matter which, it still hurts like heck!! You will never, ever be forgotten!
I still remember the way you look, your smile, your work out every morning.... The way you danced around the apartment and singing... that 1 will always make me smile. I will always love you and you will forever be in my heart, thoughts and prayers!
I miss you....
I Love you....
and I will always remain strong in memory of you!!!!
Rest in peace sweetheart!

My Dearest Adam...
You have made me see that there is love after death. When I married you, it was suppose to be forever!
But you are gone.
If you are really watching over me then you know everything I am going thru and what I am feeling.
OMGosh... My heart belongs to a very special man... JS... I swore I would never open my heart again between my divorce and my cancer...
God there is just something so warming, caring, loving about this man... Did I scare him off with my insecurities? PLEASE help me to trust... to love... to smile again!
I truely have not felt this way about any other man besides you. I will always love you....
But it is time for me to let you go. Really let you go this time. I will give you Mom and Dad.. I need to live my life and be "completely" happy again.
I want to be loved the way you loved me and I can honestly say that I feel it in my heart.... Please..
Please help us be together and then I can truely honor your memory by doing exactly what you wanted for me...
he makes me feel alive again, he makes me smile, he makes me feel safe and he doesn't want to change me!
If you really can help me with this I'll do what you wanted from the beginning....
I will let you go...
I will move on ...
I will be happy...
I will smile, always...
I will live again and literally...
But most of all, I will be loved ...
I don't just need him in my life... I want him! JS completes me!!
Rest in Peace my Beloved Adam...
Love,

Dear Margit, Our hearts go out to you especially during this time. Your Adam will always be remembered. My Adam (your husband's namesake), Robbie and I listened to the names being read and the boys had lots more questions this year about that horrific day. We talked alot about the Heroes of 9-11 like your Adam, and we looked through all our memory box keepsakes from through the years (the bracelet with your Adam's name, my Adam's K-garten report on his 'hero' brought many tears). You are in our thoughts and prayers always. We know your Adam is watching over you and will forever be the guardian angel of my Adam and his big brother Robbie, and his other namesake, your niece Autumn. Love and Hugs Always, Debbie

All you ever wanted for me was to live, literally. And for me to be happy.
I will never let your memory even begin to fade from my heart... I will continue the fight against my cancer, no matter what! I know you know just how bad it is right now but I also know you are here watching over me...
I am happy even though I thought that would be impossible without you... I truely am. I am the woman I am today because of you... I truely am blessed.
I love you and save the last dance for me!! xoxoxo

Hi:
I was Adam's friend in junior high at I.S. 51. I saw him again in high school a few times on the city bus and had some good conversations. He was the smartest guy I knew growing up and clearly one of the most selfless and bravest, too.
Sincerely,

I had never met you but I worked with your nephew doing ABA therapy with him while I was a student at FSU-PC. I was there during the time of the tragedy. I was also in the audience on the day that your wife, Margit, presented the scholarship set up in your name. I just wanted to say that I will never forget your story, your family, or your nephew. It was a joy to know them and work with them all and it would have been a pleasure to have been able to meet you too.

Oh honey..... I can NOT believe I misread your signs.... I am so sorry for disappointing you. Our love was once in a lifetime... Will I ever experience that again?
When I think of the love from him it just doesn't compare to how I feel when I think of the love from you....the warmth I feel, the comfort, the safety and the peace I feel is all just so unbelievable! ...
As much as I love and miss you, I will love and miss my step daughter...his brothers were cool too...but most of all, his Mom and Dad..
So for now, I am happy again. I am content. I am greatful for what I have learned in the past few years... Most of all, I am greatful that I learned how to live again...
Unfortunately, my cancer is back BUT I will NOT allow it to control my life/living this time around. I will continue to go to the grocery store!!! lol... I know I have you watching over me and that you'll always be there for me!
I love you always....

I never met you or anyone in your family but after September 11, I was given a card with your name on it and a brief biography of you. I worked for an Interfaith Non-Profit in Tacoma, Washington at the time and we honored those who lost their lives on 9/11 by distributing names and biographies to individuals in our community to put real names and faces on those we lost. I honor your life and your spirit whenever I hear of senseless acts of terrorism, but never so deeply as I do each year on September 11. It sounds like you were a man full of love and life, a great husband and a talented person. I am so sorry you are not where you should be, with your family and friends.

So many times I have thought of you and so many times I wonder why??? Why were you taken from me? How my life would be so different right now. It should be with you that I should be celebrating my life with. You fought so hard and so long for me to be here..
I miss you as always. I will be reading names, especially yours, at the postcards tomorrow night but tonight I am suppose to be doing the midnight run to ground zero....
Always on my mind and always in my heart.
Love and miss you so much!

Hi there Honey! As the anniversary of your passing approaches closer I just can't get you off my mind. I have been thinking of you and remembering the great times we shared so much more then usual.
Mom and Dad are doing good. They just came home from their yearly trip to Virginia and then to Florida. As you probably already know, I am in Florida on vacation..... This past weekend was Andy's 50th Birthday party.... Let Michele know I am keeping an eye on him. Debbie is a great woman, Michele would approve...she's good for him.
I know you heard my FANTASTIC news.... I couldn't be any happier!!! Right now I am taking me time...time to figure out what "I" want out of life. Hey, you've obviously know and have seen, I got my Lil' Lily!! She is so precious.....
Well I have to get going for now, as always, I will be reading names on 9-11 and with pride and honor, I will be reading yours........
I'll love you always,

My Dearest Adam,
You are always in my heart and mind. I know that you are watching over me always. I've got my days that are good and days that are tough... Your family has been wonderful through the past 2 years, with out their thoughts, prayers and help, I am not sure I would of been able to make it through my chemo.... again and then a year later.. again. New years eve will be my last day of treatment and hopefully New Years Day will be my 1st day of no more treatment for a while.... what do you think? Is it in the cards for me? Your true friends have been by my side... day in and day out. Your family is my family and they are always with me, I owe you a great big thank you for bringing them into my life. I love each and everyone of them! I may not like them all but I love them all....They have all welcomed Aron and Allie into their fold and have embrassed them with their love...... Thank you! I love you and always will. Miss you too... Until we meet again, please continue to take care of me and of Mom and Dad.... Rest in peace.... I know you came to me and said "no more tears", I'm sorry but sometimes I just can't help it...
Love Always,
Margit Anne

Here we are again 8 years later. Still miss you like it happened yesterday. You have touched so many lives, especially Rob and Jenn. Jenn got married this past March and is expecting her first baby. Both kids speak of you often. You meant so much to them, they will never forget you, ever. Gregg is doing great. Little sad today, like every Sept.11th. We also lost aunt Pat today from cancer. My mother is fighting it now. Do me a favor, look over his Dad, Aunt fil and Aunt Pat. You are our guardian angel. Love you always, Ree

Adam,
With each passing year this day really does NOT get ANY easier. I think of you so often and still miss your presence in my life so much, my dear friend. Margit is so courageous and strong in her fight. I thank god for all the loving support she has from her family and friends. You were gone too soon, and there are days I could really use your humor and unique way of looking at things. You made me laugh even when I wanted to cry. I will always remember that especially on this the saddest of days.
Margit and your whole family are always in our prayers.
Mitch, Liana and I will never forget that dazzling smile or all the fun we used to have at our BBQ's.
your friend always with love,
Joan

Dear Margit, It is so hard to believe 8 years has passed since that terrible day when we lost so many friends, family, loved ones. Our little Adam (your husband's namesake) started his first day of kindergarten today. He looks so handsome in his school uniform. It's been a bittersweet morning, as I sit here looking through all the pictures and articles and mementos you've shared with us, and which we keep in our Adam's memory box. Someday, we would like you to help us explain to Adam about 9/11 nad share memories of your Adam. Robbie is with his dad at work today, where they are holding the annual BGC Charity day. Robbie's school is one of the beneficiaries this year. Robbie will be singing with his school's chorus. We can't wait to share the photos with you. We think of you always, and a visit is very long overdue. Just say when and we will be there in a heart beat. Sending you big hugs & prayers today and always. With great love, Rob, Deb, Robbie & Adam XXX OOO XXX OOO XXX OOO XXX OOO XXX OOO XXX

Eight years ago thismorning you were taken from us. I haven't forgotten 1 thing about you, the way you smiled, laughed, sang, not even the way you walked. I remember the way you loved me... it was completely and totaly unconditional. You will NEVER be forgotten by me or by anybody who knew you! You loved your family so much, they meant the world to you, for the record, you meant the exact same to them!!! I am the woman I am today because of you... I will always love you... always miss you... I know you are here watching over me, please continue to help me be strong! Rest in peace honey, boy do I miss that smile!
Always and Forever,
Love,
Margit Anne
