This memorial website was created in the memory of our loved one, Adrian Grover who was born in Jacksonville, Florida on April 17, 1974. Adrian was the first born twin, his sister Angelica was born a few minutes later. He was an active baby and child, actually he was an active person. As I look back, it was like he had to hurry before his life stopped. We are glad for each day we had with him.

Adrian had no sense of style and it did not seem to bother him to wear two different plaids at one time. It was a style of his own making and he was comfortable while being himself. His most desired trait would of been his easy ability to talk and listen to anyone. He liked people and truly cared about the well being of others. He had many friends and he cared deeply for each one of them. He also had a wonderful sense of humor and was strong when we needed him to be. We knew we could always count on him, especially when his Dad had a heart attack one night and Adrian remained calm and got his Dad to the hospital safely and as quickly as possible. It would be an ironic twist that he would die within a few years at the same hospital where he took his Dad. 

Adrian lived a very simple life. He liked cars and learned alot about cars over the years. He was the body shop manager at Kumpf Lincoln Mercury in Denver at the time of his death. Adrian also liked mountain biking and rode his bicycle around the mountains outside of Denver. He liked wrestling on television, but his favorite was watching the Colorado Avalanche play. He graduated from Chatfield High School in Littleton.

Adrian was hit by a car driven by a careless driver while riding his motorcycle through an intersection. He was in the hospital for two days before he died. We were fortunate to of been able to say goodbye to him, as many do not have that chance. Alot of Adrian's friends & family were there for us at the hospital and it was nice to know so many people cared. Adrian was an organ donor, the Donor Alliance in Denver wrote and told us his corneas were given to two different people in Colorado. They took his corneas, skin, and heart valves. It has given us comfort knowing Adrian's passing helped others who were in need.

Adrian passed away at Swedish Hospital in Englewood, Colorado on May 17, 2000 at the age of 26. We will remember him and love him forever. Until we meet again A. 



A Prayer your GG-Grandmother Mary Loretta Sullivan-Wood had written and left for her boys to remember upon her death.
O God, whose only begotten Son, by his life, death, and resurrection, has purchased for us the rewards of eternal life, grant, we beseech Thee, that meditating upon these mysteries of the Most Holy Rosary of the Blessed Virgin Mary, we may imitate what they contain and obtain what they promise, through the same Christ our Lord.
Amen.

 THE BROKEN CHAIN 

We little knew that morning, that God was going to call your name.
In Life we loved you dearly, In death we do the same.
It broke our hearts to lose you, you did not go alone;
for part of us went with you, the day God called you home.
You left us peaceful memories, your love is still our guide;
and though we cannot see you, you are always at our side.
Our family chain is broken, and nothing seems the same;
but as God calls us one by one, the chain will link again.
