I still remember the summer of 88 when I ran into Adrian at the RCC bookstore. He was so elated about getting out of Riverside en route to boot camp. I would have never have thought that would be my last encounter with him. At that time it was not more than a few months that we sang the national Anthem together at our high school graduation. We had been in choir together since Sierra Middle School. I ran into his sis, yrs later and how strong she was. Adrian was the kind of guy who could make you giggle and you enjoyed seeing him enter the room.He will never be forgotten. He will always have a sweet place in my heart!
I remember having few friends at Ramona, with Adrian being someone whom I remember as having a friendly attitude towards everyone. He had a generous spirit and his service to our country is definitely a good example of that selflessness.
I also remember that Adrian was very musical. I imagine he and I would be sharing music stories with each other, were he still here today.
I learned of Adrian's death while attending the 10 year reunion. It saddened me even more to learn of the circumstances that brought about his death.
However, regardless of how he left us, the fact remains that Adrian still willingly put his life in harm's way so that our freedoms might be protected.
That we both decided to serve our country made us brothers, and I will remember him as one.
I never knew if he was a Christian, but I pray that he is with God, and that his family has peace through God's grace.
I lived about two blocks from Adrian. He was the master joke teller and always won the "dozen" game! He could always make me laugh and at grad night we had a ball. He did a real good Roger impersonation. We even asked the same girl to prom, I'm not telling who. Adrian had a real good spirit; he's a real American Hero. Gone way too soon.
