Adan you are forever in my heart. You will always be remembered for your big heart & the unselfish life you lived. You always had a great memory for rembering things of when we were young & always had a funny story to tell of our younger days. I wish I could be there this weekend as you are laid to rest, however you will remain in my thoughts and prayers. May you rest in peace in eternal life with God. Until we meet again my little cousin.❤

Carmen Coull published a tribute .

Adán, a quiet loving giant. His heart was as big as his size. I experienced the gentleness he expressed to his family, especially the tender love he had for his mother. Adán was there for her when she couldn't care for herself...what a guy! I remember the time I took him and his mother camping, that campfire was on 24/7. Adan, God' s words to you are "well done good and faithful servant." You lived up to those words and now your reward is to be in the presence of your God and those you dearly loved. It was a pleasure knowing you.
