It is with great sadness that we mourn the sudden passing of Adrian on Monday May 6, 2019 in Kitchener at the age of 30 years.
 
Born Januay 17th, 1989 he brought laughter and great love to all our lives.  He loved the outdoors, hockey, fishing, music, the computer and helping anyone with anything.  Over the last few years however he had difficulties and struggles that took a great toll… taking away a part of who he was from us and himself.  Bit by bit the Adrian we knew and loved was slowly disappearing from us. 
 
He is forever in our hearts, the loving son of Vince and Rhonda Facchini of Kitchener; the proud father of Alyssa Facchini (mother Sarah) and Lucas Facchini (mother Nicole). The loved brother of Danielle Huygens (husband Ernie, nieces Khloe and Heartly). Missed by his Grandparents, Barbara St. Peter and Filomena Facchini.  Fondly remembered by his Aunts, Uncles, Cousins and friends.
 
Predeceased by his brother Daniel, Grandfathers, Paul St. Peter and Mario Facchini.

Adrian...
 
Every morning when I awake
I remember that you are gone
No one knows the heartache
As I try to carry on.
 
My heart aches with sadness
And the tears begin to flow
What it means to lose my son
No one can ever truly know.
 
My thoughts will always be with you
In a place no one could ever fill
In life I loved you so dearly
In death I love you forever still
 
I feel I’m in a nightmare totally torn apart
I pray that god has eased your pain
And can someday ease my broken heart.
 
Mom
