Adrian Navarro

On June 25, 2019, Adrian Navarro gained his wings and the gates of heaven opened wide to welcome a new angel. Adrian, 37, passed away from this life with his family at his side in Albuquerque, NM. Born October 11, 1981 in Chicago, IL to parents, Frank and Enriqueta Navarro. He is the youngest sibling to Blanca, Frank Jr. and Belinda Navarro; father of Ezra and Amira, and married to Giselle Servian; uncle to Jesus, Daisy, Brianna, Israel, Julian, Cesar, and Delilah; great-uncle to Govanni and Enrique, and brother-in-law to Yvette.

As a child, Adrian was a silly and happy boy. In a Chicago Sun-Times newspaper contest, Adrian was voted the cutest baby in the Chicagoland area in 1982. As a child, Adrian had a great imagination and, in his mind, he was the light-weight champion of WWF/WCW and made many lasting memories with his siblings and cousins. He loved He-Man cartoons and enjoyed riding his big wheel. He loved sports, and played baseball and soccer growing up, until his teen years. He graduated from T.F. North High School in Calumet City, IL., in 1999. After graduation, he obtained his certification in HVAC and moved to New Mexico with his family. While in New Mexico, he worked as a sales representative at Verizon and won many awards during his time of employment. He married and had a beautiful daughter, Amira, in 2009 and gained his son, Ezra. While in Albuquerque, he experienced a new hobby of golfing which he enjoyed. He was an avid sports fan of Chicago sports teams, including Da Bears, White Sox, Bulls, and Chicago Blackhawks. Adrian was a peacemaking, loving, generous and caring man. He was always supportive of his friends and family and made it a point to never exclude anyone. He had a very forgiving heart and always seen the good in people. Adrian was witty, humorous and loved to joke around with everyone. He was the life of the party and loved to be surrounded by loved ones. He was considered a great role model, and a young man with great wisdom.

Adrian’s life seemed short to many, but those who were touched by him understood that the quality of existence far exceeds the quantity of time. His gentle smile, infectious laugh, and words of encouragement inspired and touched many lives. To have known him, is to have loved him. He will be greatly missed by many, but never forgotten. His memory will live on in the hearts of his family and friends. He will be the wind beneath our wings.

In lieu of flowers, please send memorial donations to the family.  A Rosary will be held on Tuesday, July 9, 2019, 10:00 a.m. with a Memorial Mass to follow at Saint Jude Thaddeus Church at 5712 Paradise Blvd. NW.
