Born on January 27, 1930, in La Curriquera, Asturias, Spain, Adriano was the son of Ramón Riesgo Garrido and Irene Lorences Puente. He was raised on his family’s ranch in northern Spain before moving to Havana, Cuba, as a young man in search of new opportunities. After leaving Cuba, he lived in Mexico before ultimately making his home in Chula Vista, California.
While living in Cuba, Adriano met Delia Dorado Fernandez, the love of his life. They were married on February 21, 1960, and shared 63 devoted years together until her passing. Together they built a loving home grounded in faith, hard work, and an unwavering commitment to family. As a successful businessman, Adriano took great pride in providing for his family and creating a life of stability, love, and opportunity.
To those who knew him best, Adriano was far more than a husband, father, grandfather, brother, and friend, he was the heart of his family. He led not through words, but by example, teaching the true meaning of love, humility, honesty, hard work, and the importance of family. He was always there when he was needed, placing the needs of his loved ones before his own and offering quiet strength, guidance, and unconditional support.
Adriano found his greatest happiness surrounded by family. He especially cherished traveling and creating lasting memories with his grandchildren, nieces, nephews, and extended family. His kindness, gentle spirit, warm smile, and generous heart touched everyone fortunate enough to know him.
His passing leaves an emptiness that is difficult to express, but his legacy will endure through the values he lived, the love he gave so freely, and the countless lives he enriched. His family will forever carry with them the lessons he taught, the memories he created, and the example he set of a life lived with dignity, compassion, and unwavering devotion to those he loved.
He is survived by his son, Ramón; his daughter, Irene; his daughter-in-law, Graciela; his grandchildren, Alejandro and Olivia; and his sisters, María Vázquez Riesgo and Angelina Muñoz Riesgo.
He was preceded in death by his beloved wife, Delia; his parents, Ramón Riesgo Garrido and Irene Lorences Puente; and his siblings, Manuel Riesgo Lorences, Luciano Riesgo Lorences, Elisa Riesgo Lorences, Salvador Riesgo Lorences, and Francisco Riesgo Lorences.
A Funeral Mass will be celebrated on Thursday, August 6, at 11:00 a.m. at St. Pius X Catholic Church in Chula Vista. Interment will follow at Glen Abbey Memorial Park. Family and friends are invited to attend and celebrate Adriano’s life.
The family extends its heartfelt gratitude to Adriano’s caregivers for the compassion, kindness, and dignity they provided throughout his final years.
