Publish in a newspaper

Adrian Espinoza, born on June 29, 1979, in Dallas, Texas, passed away on August 29, 2025, in his hometown of Dallas at the age of 46. A lifelong Dallas native, Adrian carried his city in his heart. A devoted Dallas Cowboys fan and avid sports enthusiast, he found joy not only in the games themselves but in the moments shared with his family-watching, cheering, and celebrating together.

Above all, Adrian was known for his love of family. His greatest pride and joy were his children, and he devoted his life to being present for them-whether in simple daily routines or unforgettable moments filled with laughter, encouragement, and warmth. His family remembers him as a man who worked hard, yes, but more importantly, as a son, husband, father, brother, uncle, and friend whose presence gave strength and comfort to those around him.

Adrian's generosity knew no bounds. Always ready to help family and friends in need, his heart was big enough to hold many. His legacy is not measured in hours worked or tasks completed, but in the lives, he touched, the love he gave, and the people he lifted.

He is survived by his loving wife, Michelle Yanez Espinoza; his daughters, Liliana Espinoza Góngora and Abigail Espinoza; and his son, Adrian Espinoza Jr. He has reunited with his son Elijah Espinoza, in eternal rest. He will also be lovingly remembered by his parents, Maria and Sabino Espinoza; his brothers, Joe Espinoza and Estevan Espinoza; and his sisters, Veronica Ruiz, Patricia Aguirre, and Leticia Tovar. He leaves behind his nieces, Alice Vajo, Amanda Ruiz, Alyissa Aguirre, Andrea Aguirre, Brianna Ruiz, Monica Reyes, and Allyson Tovar; his nephews, Anthony Aguirre, Angel Reyes, Alejandro Tovar, and Aidan Tovar; as well as his sister-in-law, Isela Espinoza, and his brothers-in-law, Ricardo Ruiz, Adolph Aguirre, and Jesus Tovar. He is lovingly remembered alongside his brother, Carlos Espinoza, who passed away before him.

Adrian was deeply loved by his family and friends. He will be remembered always for his love, his strength, and his selfless spirit.

Adrián Espinoza, nacido el 29 de junio de 1979 en Dallas, Texas, falleció el 29 de agosto de 2025 en su ciudad natal de Dallas a la edad de 46 años. Nativo de Dallas de toda la vida, Adrian llevaba su ciudad en su corazón. Un devoto fanático de los Dallas Cowboys y ávido entusiasta de los deportes, encontró alegría no solo en los juegos en sí, sino también en los momentos compartidos con su familia: ver, animar y celebrar juntos. Por encima de todo, Adrian era conocido por su amor a la familia. Su mayor orgullo y alegría eran sus hijos, y dedicó su vida a estar presente para ellos, ya sea en rutinas diarias simples o momentos inolvidables llenos de risas, aliento y calidez. Su familia lo recuerda como un hombre que trabajó duro, sí, pero lo que es más importante, como un hijo, esposo, padre, hermano, tío y amigo cuya presencia dio fuerza y consuelo a quienes lo rodeaban. La generosidad de Adrian no conocía límites. Siempre listo para ayudar a familiares y amigos necesitados, su corazón era lo suficientemente grande como para contener a muchos. Su legado no se mide en horas trabajadas o tareas completadas, sino en las vidas que tocó, el amor que dio y las personas que levantó. Le sobreviven su amada esposa, Michelle Yáñez Espinoza; sus hijas, Liliana Espinoza Góngora y Abigail Espinoza; y su hijo, Adrián Espinoza Jr. Se ha reunido con su hijo Elías Espinoza, en el descanso eterno. También será recordado con cariño por sus padres, María y Sabino Espinoza; sus hermanos, Joe Espinoza y Estevan Espinoza; y sus hermanas, Verónica Ruiz, Patricia Aguirre y Leticia Tovar. Deja atrás a sus sobrinas, Alice Vajo, Amanda Ruiz, Alyissa Aguirre, Andrea Aguirre, Brianna Ruiz, Mónica Reyes y Allyson Tovar; sus sobrinos, Anthony Aguirre, Ángel Reyes, Alejandro Tovar y Aidan Tovar; así como su cuñada, Isela Espinoza, y sus cuñados, Ricardo Ruiz, Adolph Aguirre y Jesús Tovar. Es recordado con cariño junto a su hermano, Carlos Espinoza, quien falleció antes que él. Adrian era profundamente amado por su familia y amigos. Será recordado siempre por su amor, su fuerza y su espíritu desinteresado
