On September 13, 1969, Adrian was born to Jacobo Sanchez and Sally Christine Duran Sanchez in Roswell, New Mexico. He attended Roswell High School and Nuevo Comienzo, where he graduated in 1988. He married the love of his life Sarah Vigil on May 25, 2002, in San Patricio, New Mexico. He was a member of St. Jude Catholic Church. Adrian was a man with many interests. He loved spending time with his Vieja pinch-Sarah, his kids, family and friends, but especially his grandkids. He enjoyed the outdoors that consisted of hunting, fishing, raising his roosters, camping cruising in the mountains, picnics at bonito lake, cooking and feeding everybody, (especially when he made asado), and cheering on his Green Bay Packers. Adrian loved to ride horses and had many favorites which included Heavy D, his appaloosa, Mighty Whitey, Double Obvious Clue, only to name a few. He loved to go on cheap dates with Sarah, which included 2 hot dogs, a bag of fritos, bean dip and a coke. Adrian also enjoyed guessing the names of songs while driving around. He was by no means a perfect guy, he had his faults, and YEAH, he poached. But we want to believe he learned his expensive lesson. He loved to associate with everybody. He was a friend to everyone and a stranger to no one. When it came to his roosters he took pride in them, especially when he bred a perfect rooster. He loved to sit outside and drink his beer by the fire while listening to New Mexico music. If there was a hunting trip coming, he was going, even if he didn’t have a tag. Adrian was the guide. He was the founder of the “MAKE YOU FAMOUS OUTFITTERS”. There are so many memories, too many to describe, but unique to each person. Please cherish the memories and share them when you can.
