Adrian lived a simple life and raised his children to be strong-minded, yet kindhearted. Adrian spoke his mind and said it like it was but would go without to help someone that was down on their luck.

Adrian competed in local BBQ cooks offs with his son Justin and his daughters were never too far behind. When Adrian became a grandfather, it was one of the proudest days of his life. His grandchildren meant everything to him, and he supported them in every way that he could.

He is survived by his son Justin, wife Paige, grandchildren Addison and Olivia Soza, daughter Lacy, husband Mike and grandson Emerson Morris, and daughter Lindsey, husband Carlos and grandchildren Penelope, Nata'Linh, and Carlos Jr. Maldonado.
