Adrian Wilson

1996 - 2021

Adrian Wilson, born in Juneau November 8, 1996, died at home on April 30, 2021 in Vancouver Washington. His parents were with him when he died. 

Adrian grew up in Juneau and Gustavus and loved hanging out with his friends and his brother, spending time outside, playing computer games and Legos, sailing, and taking care of his reptiles. He attended Juneau Montessori and JDHS. He moved to Vancouver, WA in 2017 to attend college and was working and attending college at the time of his death. 

Adrian had a deep love for animals, loved hanging out with the local reptile community in Vancouver, and was one of the hardest working people. He started the Columbia River Zoological Society with good friend Shari Geller after they rescued an abused iguana. 

Adrian also loved spending time at the Newport Discovery Zoo, where he enjoyed helping out the staff. He had become a staple of the local reptile community and the Pacific Northwest Reptile and Exotic Animal Show, and will be forever missed by many people. He was known for his kindness and compassion, and he touched so many lives. 

Adrian is survived by his brother and best friend Cody Crondahl; by his parents Craig Wilson and Shana Crondahl; by his grandparents Jay and Judy Crondahl and Edith Stover; by his cousins Viktor Crondahl, Darwin Decena, and Hanna and James Branch; by his aunts and uncles Tim Crondahl, Carolina Decena, and Susan and Cary Branch; and by many dear friends too numerous to name. He was predeceased by his grandparents Roger Wilson and Evah Jane Northrup. 

There will be a memorial service for Adrian on Sunday, July 11 in Vancouver.

He left us too soon and we love and miss him with all our hearts.
