Family meant everything to Adrain – especially his grandchildren – each one held a special place in his heart. His greatest desire was for them to love the Lord and to succeed in life. His expectations were high for them all. After his father’s passing Adrain cared for his mom in many ways, seeing to her needs and loving her. He called her every night at 9:00 to check on her and get an update on her day. He also had been caring for his mother-in-law, Martha, caring for her every need.

Adrain loved Jesus and served Him throughout his life – mainly through serving others. He was strong in his faith, knowledgeable in the Word of God and he had the gift of encouragement.
