On December 8, 2010, Adrian happily married his longtime sweetheart, Olive "Cookie" Seawright-Brown. Adrian loved to dress, dance and sing, especially Karaoke and build model cars. He was an avid Hot Wheels collector and also had an admiration for historic vehicles, but his true love and deepest passion was trucks, beginning as early as he could speak. Driving tractor-trailers for over twenty-five years, he had seen the award for driving over one million miles, needless to say he had seen the world many times, making new friends along the way. To know him was to love him. He was a great listener, comforter and often offered words of encouragement. There was not a subject that he could not collaborate on. Adrian should be remembered for his life, his friendship and his award winning BBQ sauce. He is survived by his loving wife, Olive Brown; his mother, Carrie E. Brown; children, Andrea, Adrian Jr., Latia Brown and Randy Moses; grandchildren, Ian brown and Aniyah Moses; sisters, Marian and Brenda Smallwood; three nieces, seven nephews; close friends, Ronald, Reggie, Lester and David.
