Just found out about PA Bickleys passing while I was scheduling my yearly med review.  He was the greatest provider ive ever had.  He was so helpful when I was at the lowest point in my life.  The world lost a truly great person

I'm heartbroken in learning that PA B passed away. He was my doctor for quite a while and was so kind and understanding. I appreciated his calm energy during our visits. I will absolutely miss going to see him. He took great care of me and took my health concerns seriously.

I just found out today about Adrian’s passing. He has been our families  PA for so many years, he felt like a family member to us. So kind, so caring, we all LOVED having him looking after us. I’m just so sad and feel heart broken for his family. He was an incredible doctor to us and an amazing human being. He will be missed immensely by all who had the incredible honor of knowing him.

I just found out today, as I was trying to find his phone number online. I have been one of Adrian's patients for years and every time I came in, I knew he was setting extra time aside to just catch up. Every appointment was mostly like visiting a good friend and he had a way of talking with me that reflected a deep trust in my thoughts and concerns. We always took time to just have a conversation and mutually vent about things we had on our mind. If I hadn't been one of his parents, I would have picked Adrian for a close friend.

I will miss Adrian very, very much. As a provider and as a friend.

I just found out today about Adrian Bickley, PA. He saved my life by finding my Ovarian Cancer and recommended me to a wonderful  Oncologist. I will forever be indebted to him for saving my life. He was the most gentle, sensitive person I have ever met and really cared about his patients sincerely.  I am devastated and dont know what I am going to do.  I will miss him dearly. God bless him and his family.

I was shocked to learn today that Adrian had passed away - I am so saddened to hear this news.  Upon first seeing him many years ago at Mountain View Medical Group, I knew I had found the health care professional I wanted to see every time.  He was so kind, caring, thoughtful, generous, forthright, knowledgeable and compassionate.  I grieve for his family and will miss seeing him so much.

I am shocked by Adrian's passing. He was my PA, and was always just the most kind-hearted, gentle doctor I've ever dealt with. He listened, he entertained questions, he never operated according to a clock but took each person as an individual. With all the distrust in medicine and doctors lately, Adrian was unquestionably of high integrity and one of the good ones. He will be missed, professionally speaking, and I can only imagine the void his loss leaves in family, friends, and co-workers.

Adrian you will be missed. You helped me more than you can imagine when I was seeing you in my lowest time of my life. In your short time on this world you touched uncounted number of lives. Your kindness and compassion with truly be missed. Rest in peace.

Donna and Michael
We have had many “doctors” through the years.  Adrian was by far one of the best!  He was so knowledgeable, caring, friendly, and understanding. He always took his time to answer any question.  We will miss him so much.

I can’t believe it. He was so nice to me, calling me on the phone when he didn’t have to. Patient as could be. In person and on phone. What a great guy.

I knew Adrian as one of his patients. He was the most friendliest, warmest person you could ever talk to. His medical care was as best as a person could ever receive.

Adrian may you rest in the Peace of Christ forever.

I last had contact with Adrian on the morning of his passing, January 3rd.  As he always did during the many years I was his patient, he promptly got back to me about a question I had following my recent annual physical.  I am absolutely stunned today to learn of his passing.  He was one the most compassionate and caring persons that I have known. It is obvious that many others experienced these same attributes from Adrian. 

He will be missed and not forgotten. Rest in Peace Adrian.

Heartfelt Condolences to his family and friends.

Like many others who have voiced their sadness here, I too was a patient of Adrian's. He was such a calming presence and truly a lovely man. I was beyond devestated when I called to make an appointment with him today and heard the news. I am so very sorry the world lost such an incredible person and way too soon. My heart breaks for his family and friends. I am grateful to Adrian for being such a wonderful provider to me and from what I can see here, to so many others. Such a remarkable loss.

My heart goes out to the family. 
 Your husband and father was a kind soul.  When my son passed at a young age Adrian offered kind words n advise n ran late on appts with many patients  Wonderful bedside manner.  I know hes with the Lord.  I was able to search for a go fund me account and wish we had more to share.  His advice may have saved my life.  My sons loss so young and 6 years of infertility treatments to bring him into this crazy world was just GONE at 28.  Therapy n light meds pulled me through but a difficult. road without the LORD.  Please dont wait to get some assitance.  I wasted 2 years until Adrian gave me an anchor.  Im now Grandmother of 9 and enjoying life again=)
God bless you all

My deepest sympathy to your family. He was my physician and a wonderful soul. I could tell he cared about his patients. He will be missed!

I’m devastated to learn of Adrian Bickley’s passing. He was a wonderful physician and will be greatly missed. He was so compassionate and caring…his loss will be felt by all those who knew him . My condolences to his family and friends

Adrian was my go to for over ten years. Myself and my two sons trusted him immensely. I always appreciated the way he talked to my sons. Very attentive and always friendly and smiling. My boys and I are heartbroken. I hope the best for his family. We will always remember him as a great man.

Adrian Bickley was my Physician, for 15 years.  He had a way with him that made it easy to talk to. Very compassionate and kind. He truly was a patients physician. I never felt rushed always felt heard and not only did he take his time, he went above and beyond. Times when I was worried for whatever I had to have done he eased my
Mind with his positive calm demeanor, maybe a quick joke and a smile.. My gosh! It is so hard to believe that he is gone. However never forgotten. 
Our deepest condolences go out to Adrian’s Wife and Children. His family and friends and colleagues. 
Sending hugs and healing . 
He truly was a great man! All around a great great person. I’m better having met him and having him as my Doc. He has set the bar pretty high.  
We will miss you Adrian Bickley 

Amy Schultz-Kalla

Today is a celebration of life for such an amazing man!  I would love to be at the celebration, however I live many miles away!
I will think of Adrian and his wonderful family today and in the future. 
Thank you to those who put together the Tribute Movie, absolutely beautiful! 
Adrian, I will miss you!

How fortunate am I to have known and worked with  Adrian and Michele since they were  just pups? I will always be able to hear Adrian's infectious laugh. His smile, the twinkle in his eyes and his love for Michele, his daughters and family will live on forever. What a good, kind man.  You made the world a better place, Adrian.

He was my physician and friend for the past 15 years. Will be missed. I am deeply  saddened.

He was my doctor for the past 3 years. He was always kind, respectful, and so very compassionate.  I don't think I've ever had a doctor or medical professional like him. He gave me hope that I could get help for all the things I was dealing with from long covid.  When I found out he had passed yesterday, it felt like losing a trusted friend. If I feel his loss to this degree I can only imagine what his family and friends are going through. I am so so sorry for your loss.

He was my doctor for many years and I really enjoyed my appointments just so I could catch up with him!  He was very knowledgeable, always took time to listen, had a servant's heart, and was incredibly funny in his understated way.  We always had good conversations! I will miss him as my medical provider but more as a person.  Deepest condolences to those lucky enough to have known him far better than I did. But rest assured he was appreciated and made the world a better place.

Adrian was my best friend for the past 30 years. His capacity for kindness and empathy was only matched by his passion for family, friends and adventure. He had a humble presence, while generally being one of the smartest and socially advanced people in any room. 

We met as freshman on day one and became inseparable through college. We traveled a fair amount during our undergraduate years, but we made a plan to go big after graduation. We bought three Fodor’s guides, round the world trip tickets and departed for three months to explore Greece, India, China and Japan. This was one of the greatest experiences of my life. We created indelible memories and it solidified us as the best of friends. 

We eventually moved to Colorado Springs and ran restaurants for a few years. After this break from academia, Ade knew in his heart what he was supposed to be doing. He finished up his degree at UCCS, while at the same time teaching anatomy. He graduated with honors along with impressive letters of recommendation and was accepted to the top PA program in the country.  It was no surprise that he graduated two years later at the top of his class. 
  
Within just a few years of coming home, we had both found the loves of our lives, bought houses a block away from each other, raised our kids, spent most holidays together and rarely let a day go by without talking... 

Adrian was a brother to me and my wife as well as an uncle to my daughter. He was a wonderful, positive and Zen part of our family. My immense personal grief is infinitesimal when compared to the impact his departure has on our community. The number of lives he touched was in the thousands and if given the chance, he had tens of thousands more to positively impact with his incredible talent and energy. 

The world is truly a darker place without this sentinel of good watching over us. The only way I can see forward is to act in his stead toward the kind and positive world he promoted.

I saw Adrian as my PCP for quite a few years.   I called for a prescription refill to learn that he had passed, I was shocked as I had just had an appointment with him on December 6th.  I always appreciated his approach and how kind he was during our visits.   He knew I was a nurse and he spent much of our time together picking my brain because he had mentioned that one of his daughters was in nursing school or considering nursing school.  I will miss those opportunities to spend time with him and will miss the trust he instilled in me with the care he provided.  Sending condolences to his family, I hope they are able to find some comfort knowing that Adrian had such a lasting impact on those that he interacted with and cared for.

I knew him as a patient for at least five years. After my very first visit I knew I wanted to stick with him, because, as so many others have said, he was caring and thoughtful and he listened. I will selfishly miss him and pray healing and peace for his family.

I only met PA Adrian Bickley a couple of times when I switched to him as my provider.  I immediately felt at ease with him, I sensed no judgement, only kindness in trying to help me through what I needed.  I called today for a prescription refill and heard this news and was shocked and saddened.  He touched my life in only a couple visits I can imagine how many more lives he touched in his lifetime.  My heart and deep condolences go out to his wife, children, family and friends.

Adrian started working in our office while he was doing prerequisites to become a PA. He had such a gentle and kind spirit and I knew right away that he would make a wonderful PA. I was so happy when he got into PA school.  He will be missed greatly by everyone who knew him but especially by Michelle and his daughters.

I’m still in shock. Visited the office today, so sad not to see this wonderful man there. We had to see another physician, just wasn’t the same. We moved here three years ago searching for a new physician and we found Adrian Bickley. Adrian was not only a wonderful physician, but he also became a friend and confidant that you could talk to without feeling embarrassed on what the subject was. I know he was known as PA Bickley with respect but to us Dr. Adrian Bickley is every sense of the word Doctor in our book. We will miss you. -Pat & Evan Willis 💔

I was shocked and saddened to hear of Adrian’s passing. While I only knew him as my PA for many years, I felt I knew him like friend. He was kind and helpful anytime I had a visit at his office. He was always sincere and listened to what I had to say with regards to my office visits. I’ll surly miss him on my next doctor’s visit.

I am so very, very sorry at his passing.  I was recently talking to Dr Owen and told her my reasons for rating Adrian so high on my recent review.  My words were that he truly cared about me as a person, not just as a patient, but I ALWAYS felt he took a personal approach to my well-being and care.  I also felt like we could have been best friends, because of his caring attitude toward me, my family, and my life.  I will truly miss this great man!  This world is a MUCH BETTER place due to people like Adrian.  My sympathies to his family and friends.

Honored to have worked with him. Only Adrian could fit 48 years of love of humanity, compassion for others, and unlimited LAUGHTER into his twelve birthdays. February 29 forevermore. May your family find peace.

When i called in to get a prescription filled from Dr. Bickley, the receptionist told me that he had passed away. I broke down so hard. He was such a caring and loving doctor. When I first met him I was so unhealthy and the doctors before him were not helpful to me. He’s the one that had ordered test and blood work and when results came back he comforted me when he told me I have stage 3 ovarian cancer. He was there the whole time while I was going through the treatment. I will truly miss him and his love for his patients. I’ll be praying for his family during this time. I pray that other doctors find it in their hearts to follow in his path to have a heart like my doctor( Dr.Bickley) to love and take the time with each patient that comes to them. I WILL TRULY MISS HIM!!

I am very sad to hear this news. Adrian was one of the best physicians assistant I have ever experienced. He always took the time to listen to all my concerns regarding my health, or any other issue. He will be deeply missed by myself, and all of his other patients. 

The Lord has gained an angel, My condolences to his family and loved ones.

Bernadette Passarelli

My husband and I have been patients at Mountain View Medical for several years.  Adrian was my husband's PA and he thought he was wonderful.  Always there when he needed him.

We called Friday to make an appointment with him and they told us he had passes away.  We will miss him terribly.  There are very few medical professionals left that really liste cared and listened liked he did like did.

Our prayers are with his family

Adrian hands down was the best PCP I have EVER had.  I actually looked forward to going to see him for my appointments because he always made me laugh and feel so much better about myself.  In the past, I could never find a doctor that truly listened to ME and didn't rush me off.  Adrian was very kind, compassionate and cheered me up with his sense of humor. I was suffering from severe depression, obesity, diabetes, liver functions, knee pain and foot pain. I had no medical insurance at the time. He did everything he could to help us out with recommending the Labs, medications, less frequent doctor visits etc. that were more affordable for us while we were waiting to get insurance again.This very much helped my family and I.  He found a way for me to get care for ALL of my ailments and gave me the best advice on losing weight. He was so supportive and never made me feel fat or stupid. He truly was trying to better my health/live. He believed in me. I ended up taking his advice on how to lose weight the healthy way. I did what he said and lost 60 lbs with in a few months. I asked for the Gastric sleeve procedure and Adrian agreed that it would benefit me. He was so proud of me for losing weight and now, my Blood pressure is normal, A1C is normal (no more diabetes),  liver functions, etc.  Thanks to Adrian. My husband was waiting for Adrian to begin taking patients again so that he could go to him as well because Adrian was such a good PCP.   The front desk kept telling him that Adrian was not accepting new patients. My husband and I told Adrian that we wish he were accepting new patients so that my husband could also have him as is PCP.  Adrian smiled and said, I'm really not accepting new patients  but I will take him. Adrian went up to the front desk and told the gals to put my husband on as his new patient.  We are Host Home Providers and one of our female clients had just begun seeing him as her PCP as well. He was so  good to her. RIP PA Adrian Bickley

I am speechless, what a wonder person.  We worked together before he was PA, but apply to programs.  He was always so kind , compassionate, and had a wonderful sense of humor.  He will be missed. 
Condolences to his family.
Lea Ann Tyler

Adrian has been my PA for many years. This last year he literally helped me through the hardest part of my life when I needed a medical leave. He always spoke of his family and how he worked so hard which he spoke of proudly. Our last appointment he spoke of a vacation he was so happy to be taking with the family. I hope those memories you all share will carry you through the heartaches you must be enduring at this time as the community will also be mourning with you.

John and I are both  so sad to hear of Adrian’s passing. Adrian recently helped me navigate a medical issue with work and I often think about how grateful I am for his help. How many times can a patient say they randomly think about their doctor because they were THAT incredible?  He listened, he cared, and he was by far the most compassionate medical provider I have ever had. The world was a better place with him in it. His family and loved ones have our most sincere and heartfelt condolences. Truly, gone too soon.

I am a patient at the office. I’m so sorry to hear about this. Hugs and prayers for all the family members.

I just found out that PA Bickley passed away. I’m so sorry and saddened to hear this! I’ve seen him several times as a patient and he was always a great listener, kind  and willing to do whatever needed to be done to get answers to my questions. I’m so sorry for your loss💔
