I was a roommate of Adrian's at UE too (after Jeff B). He and I became fast friends and he introduced me to a great group of guys; lovingly referred to as "The House Of the Hopeless." He was so much fun. A really great guy. Miss you, Buddy.

Several years ago a few of us went to New Orleans together. It was one of the best vacations I've ever had. New Orleans was awesome, but what made it so great was having such cool people to hang out with. I'll think of Adrian every time I see the picture he took of me and the alligator. He was always behind the camera and seldom in front of it. We miss you Adrian.

Adrian was an amazing person. He had a positivity and a lightheartedness about life that reminded us not to take things too seriously. He will be missed.

If you were ever lucky enough to go to the zoo with him, you were able to experience the wonder through his eyes. I was lucky to have known him. His family is in my thoughts in this time.
