Adrian Ayala Obituary

Adrian Ayala was born October 29, 2002, in Watsonville. Adrian was the first-born son of Roxanne Ortiz and Rufo Ayala. Adrian was both a loving and loveable young man. Growing up Adrian never wanted to be anyone but himself. Although he was shy, he was confident in himself. He was a leader and a trend setter.

Adrian was a beautiful baby and grew into a handsome young man; his aunt Chana would say he was "God's gift to women." He loved when she said that. But Adrian was never arrogant, he was never conceited. Adrian was kind, he was funny, he always knew how to make you laugh and show you he cared. Adrian was a protector, he always put his loved ones first, he was never selfish. Adrian loved his family, he was especially close with his mother, Roxanne, and his little brother, Isaac.

Adrian was only 19 years old and was excited for the next chapter in his life. Adrian graduated high school in 2021 and started working for UPS with his mother. He wanted to build a beautiful and respectable life for himself. Adrian loved being active, he spent his time playing football, basketball, and working out at the YMCA with his cousins and friends. He loved playing chess and going for walks on the beach and trail walks. He loved spending time with his family.

He is survived by his mother and father; his brother, Isaac Guzman; his grandmother, Mary Ann Guzman; his aunts and uncles, Mona Jaime Bracamonte, Cassandra Bracamonte, Senida Franco, and Jesse Franco; his cousins, Jesse, Isaiah, Juliyan, and Jaden. Adrian is also survived by his great-grandparents, Susan and Juan Guerrero; and multiple great-aunts, great-uncles, cousins, and friends who loved him dearly. Adrian is preceded in death by his cousin, Isaac Guzman. May they rest peacefully together.

Adrian is truly and deeply missed by his family, friends, and all whose hearts he touched. He is missed today, tomorrow, and every day. We will always remember Adrian's beautiful smile, his dimples, his laugh, and his handsome face. He is forever in our hearts.

Mehl's Colonial Chapel has been entrusted with the arrangements.
