To the Gaulden Family:
First I want to say that I'm sorry for your lose. I've known Adrian for about 20+ years. We grew up down the street from each other on N. 36th, we also attended the same elementary and middle school together. Over the years we all grew closer as if we were blood, I say that bcuz it was if we were already family. Adrian was a clown everytime you saw him. There was never a dull moment when he was around. I have so many memories of him, actually too many to try to put into writing. I know that u the family is sad right now but know that he is in a better place, where there is no more pain and suffering. Adrian is continously smilin down on all of us who knew him. Heaven just added one more comedic angel to it's roster, lol.. To the family, if there is anything that I can do to make your transition a little easier please be sure to let me know. Adrian we will never forget you and always hold you close to our hearts. Fly high friend, fly high....

I pray that GOD will continue to bless & comfort your family during your time of need. Just remember he lives on through you all & it will be hard but it's imperative that you all keep his memory going strong for his little ones. He's in Heaven telling jokes about all of you right now.
God Bless!

I MET ADRIAN IN MIDDLE SCHOOL AND WE ENDED UP IN MOST THE SAME CLASSES SO I SAW ADRIAN A LOT. ADRIAN WAS LIKE THE COMEDIAN IN EVERY CLASS WE WERE IN TOGETHER. I REMEMBER I LAUGHED SO MUCH AT ADRIAN I GOT MOVED FROM THE BACK TO THE FRONT OF THE CLASS. ADRIAN ALWAYS HAD A WAY OF MAKING PEOPLE LAUGH. I ALWAYS REMEMBERED HIM AND EARL ALWAYS BEING TOGETHER MAKING PEOPLE LAUGH. WHEN I SEEN HIM IN THE GUS YOUNG PARADE 2 YEARS AGO WHEN HE SAW ME HE THREW MY SON A WHOLE BAG OF CANDY, HE WAS STILL THAT SAME OLE ADRIAN TO ME AND ALWAYS WILL BE. TO COOTER AND THE FAMILY ADRIAN WAS AN ANGEL ON EARTH , HE IS NOW ONE IN HEAVEN, NEVER QUESTION WHY GOD DOES WHAT HE DOES JUST REMEMBER HE KNOWS WHAT HE IS DOING. TO KAYLA AND ARTIA WHOM I BOTH GREW UP WITH, TEACH YOUR CHILD/CHILDREN THAT THEIR DADDY WAS A CARING, KIND PERSON THAT DID WHATEVER HE COULD FOR SOMEONE AND ALWAYS KEPT A SMILE. ADRIAN IS STILL HERE IN SPIRIT AND HE WANTS YOU TO HAPPY AND NOT WORRY ABOUT HIM. LOVE YALL

This was the speech I prepared for my BIG HOMIE ADRIAN from FAT BOY EARL. Good Morning I would like to thank everyone for coming out to show your love to my boy Adrian. You know when we were kids we use to be scared of dying not because of if we were going to heaven or hell we knew that we was going to heaven because we were good guys it was about if people would come to our funeral. I know Adrian is looking down smiling right now. You know I have been knowing Adrian for a long time we use to do a lot of different things together. We went to Elementary, Middle and High school we been friends for a long time. People use to ask us how long have we been friends and Adrian would say "MAN I DON'T KNOW THAT FOOL I MET THAT FOOL YESTERDAY" and Adrian would say that everytime somebody would ask us that. You know a big part of me is with him but a bigger part of him is with me. I would like to say to his family to my family. Ms. Linda (mama) your son is still here. To Kayla to your kids Asia & Isaiah their daddy is still here. To his brothers Arthur, Ashley, Cooter and Boo-Boo you know you meant the world to that fool but your brother is still here. To Maw Maw and Paw Paw your grandson is still here. And I love each and everyone of you. To Adrian I would like to thank you for being my big homie and I will miss you until I see you again FAT-BOY EARL.

To the Gaulden Family,
I've known Adrian ever since middle school. He always showed his "Crest" smile,could run like the wind - maybe faster than the wind would blow and was the silliest but sweetest person I can say I've had the pleasure of knowing. I know it must be very difficult to accept that his earthly presence is no longer here to bask in, but God only takes the best and it was surely time for Adrian to take his rest. My hope is that you all look to the hills from which will come your help and your strength will come from during these trying times. Be encouraged and just know that God can and will heal all pain, and that I will be praying for each of you. I'm also going to pray a special prayer for the children whom he has left behind. To his brothers, look out for them. Adrian loved you all so very much and I know he'd want you to be sure to be there for his children and to also offer a helping hand or word of encouragement to all of his children's mother's. May God Bless and continue to hold you in the saftey of his arms. I'm going to miss you "A."

I know right now it's impossible to see the good that comes out of death but let me encourage Adrian's family and friends, even in your time of grief you have to know that God's got your back and he will never put more on you than you can bare. To be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord, so rejoice in knowing that Adrian is seated at the right hand of Our Father Jesus Christ. My prayers are with you.

We express our deepest sympathy to you at this time. Adrian was more than just family to us; he was a classmate too. We had many fun times at CHS where we were more than likely we were cuttin' up together in somebody's class. Please know that Adrian was well loved by his classmates and his smile will be forever etched in our memories. As much as we loved him, we must know God loved him the more and he has given him rest.
We love you all and you shall continue to be in our prayers.
Your Family,
