Adrian Chavez Obituary
April 10th, 2007 - January 14th, 2026
With profound sadness and heavy hearts, we announce the passing of Adrian Armani Chávez, who left this world far too soon on January 14, 2026, at just 18 years old.
Adrian was born on April 10, 2007, in Gainesville, Georgia, and was raised in Sacramento, California, where he built lifelong friendships and became known for his bright spirit and loving heart. From a young age, Adrian had a way of bringing joy wherever he went. He had the biggest smile, the kindest soul, and a personality that made people feel welcomed and valued. He truly loved everybody, and everybody who met him loved him right back.
Adrian was full of life and lived with a big heart. He was a hard worker, a loyal friend, and someone you could always count on. More than anything, he was an amazing son and the best big brother. His love for his family ran deep, especially for his mother and his little sisters, who meant the world to him. He took pride in being there for them, protecting them, and making them laugh.
He leaves behind his devoted mother, Jessica Chavez, who raised him with endless love and strength. He is also survived by his beloved sisters, Adalena Porraz and Anayah Padilla, who will forever carry his love in their hearts. Adrian is lovingly remembered by his grandparents, Doyle Ross and Kimberly Barnett, along with many extended family members and countless friends whose lives were touched by his kindness.
He was preceded in death by Phillip Porraz, Lenda Snyder, and Adolfo Garcia-Lopez.
Though Adrian's time here was far too short, the impact he made will last forever. His laughter, his love, and his unforgettable smile will live on in the memories of all who knew him. He was just beginning his journey in life, with so many dreams ahead of him, but the love he gave in his 18 years is something that will never fade.
Adrian will be deeply missed, forever loved, and never forgotten.
"Those we love don't go away, they walk beside us every day. Unseen, unheard, but always near."
