We are so saddened to hear of the loss of Cags. I so enjoyed watching him take the mound in a game and really mess with the batter’s head, he could shut a team down. Hunter truly enjoyed his time being Adrian’s teammate at BTL. We are sending you thoughts of comfort and peace and our deepest sympathies. My heart hurts for Adrian, your family and friends.

My heart cries for you and your family. Losing a loved one, especially this young is devastating. No one should go through this but here you are. Living a moment that shouldn’t be, a feeling that shouldn’t be felt, a pain that shouldn’t be hurting for the rest of your life. I’m so sorry you have to experience all this! Beautiful memories will bring joy in coming days but for now I cry with you and your family! Be strong. IVORY BLUE

Adrian was the first smiling face to welcome us to the neighborhood, even helping us move a few things in. It was refreshing to meet this kind, helpful, & inviting kid. I remember one time being invited over for steak dinner, unbeknownst to his parents. When I showed up on their doorstep with a bottle of wine, Bobbi & Len just smiled, made room for 2 more, and friendships were born. Lots of fond memories of the kids on the trampoline, basketball, playing catch, slip-n-slides, video games, banging on the drums, culdesac fire pits, bottle rockets, & trick or treating. Adrian was always willing to help take care of our dogs when we were away, not just feeding them & letting them out, but hanging out with them & showing them love too. Just a good kid, gone too soon. RIP

I know it has been almost 2 years since Adrian's passing, and by no means am I sending this to bring the topic back up to mind. But I never had mentioned any of my condolences for a long time and for good reason. But Adrian was a very dear friend of mine, always up-beat, came up with solutions for when people disagreed, he was honestly a very kind and genuine man. I can say that the description of him was very accurate. For example, "Going out of his way to make his friends feel loved" is what I experienced from him the most. No matter how he was feeling or what was going on in his life, he was always there for his friends no matter what. I would hang out with Adrian almost everyday and I have never been the same since then. I hope Adrian's family is still powering through these times, and I wish you all the best. I am thinking of you and your family and sending caring thoughts your way to support you through this.
