I always wanted a big brother and I finally got Adrian!! He was the tallest man I'd ever seen!! He'd duck his head down to enter our home.  My step sister Beverly was tall too. I thought they made the perfect pair❤️ Adrian and Beverly had a daughter,  Sherri.  I loved spending time at their home for weekends. Their backyard was fun play in the sprinkler, swing on the swings, catch lizards on the wood fence, and pick flowers. Beverly would make 50 cent piece sized pancakes. Sometimes Adrian would drive us in his Jeep all over the Arizona desert mountains just exploring.🙂

I loved our family dinners and weekend BBQ's!! Sometimes we'd go to A&W for root beer floats❤️

One week... Adrian and Beverly went somewhere and asked me to babysit. I made $27!! 

We had great family camping trips!! Hiked, fished, and swam. Beverly sewed their huge sleeping bag for two❤️ Meals were fried catfish/sun perch w fried taters in mom's cast iron skillet and chili cooked in cast iron dutch oven, eggs n bacon, pancakes n sausage, and PBnJ sandwiches.

I truly enjoyed Adrian's love of the outdoors, watching his eyes crinkle when he laughed, and Beverly would turn on her kitchen radio and we always had fun dancing!! He was a busy attorney but I loved how he'd hug and swing me around the room when he walked in the door!!

They sold their house in Phoenix, AZ and I helped em pack up move to Palacious, TX. After we unpacked everything, we went fishing for flounder. I caught a huge blue crab!! Nothing like fresh fried seafood with fried potatoes on the side!!

I lost touch with Adrian and Beverly when my mom and Clarence divorced. I wrote to Adrian at his office in Palacious but never received a response.

Time passed. I found Beverly deceased and Adrian in Colorado. I was living in San Angelo, TX not far from Adrian's hometown of Ballinger!! Ballinger is a nice country town. I often drove Hwy 67 to 377 to visit my Grma and mom in Comanche, TX.

It saddened me to discover Adrian passed away. 

Adrian was my brother in law via Beverly. Beverly's father was married to my mom, Cathy.  Adrian would take us, Sherri, my sister, Laurie, n I and Beverly in his Jeep riding out in the Arizona Mountains ❤️  I often babysat Sherri. I even helped em pack up, cleaned their house they'd sold, and we moved em to Palacios, TX. I caught my 1st flounder and blue crab in thigh high water with Beverly stabbing and missing the flounder!! I've very found memories of Adrian.  I've missed him.  My deepest condolences to his daughter, Sherri n hubby Jesse.  Sincerely, Patricia Thomas Davenport.
