I worked with Adrian for several years and admired and loved him. He had an infectious smile and an energy that was unmatched. If I ran into him on the street or in a grocery store he usually had one of his kids with him. He was so proud of his kids. Adrian will be missed. Prayers for comfort to the family and prayers for Adrian's soul.

Noelle, Jalen, and Family.
I was saddened to learn of your father's death. I only knew him briefly, but felt that you had parents who wanted a better life for you. I hope that his memory will help you through these difficult times and that you honor his life with the good you do in your lives. May he rest in peace.
