To the brethren in Christ, I, Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, write to you this account of a young man named Adrian Michael Bergrud, who was known to many as Saint Adrian. He was born in the city of West Palm Beach, Florida, on the 28th day of January in the year of our Lord 1999. He was called home to the Lord on the 28th day of May in the year 2020.

Adrian was a faithful servant of the Lord, a beacon of light to those around him. He was a young man of great stature, both physically and spiritually. His love for the Lord was evident in his daily life. He would pray before every meal, a testament to his gratitude for the Lord’s provision. His cousin, Christina, recalls how Adrian’s steadfast faith inspired her to deepen her own relationship with the Lord.

Adrian was also a diligent student, respected and loved by his teachers. His former teacher, Diane Poules, remembers him as a young man of impeccable character, always ready to extend a helping hand to his peers and greet his teachers with a warm salutation each morning. His kindness inspired Diane to incorporate acts of benevolence into her daily routine.

In the realm of sports, Adrian was a formidable force on the basketball court. His friend, Jake, recalls with fondness the days of their youth, engaged in the sport they both loved. Adrian’s prowess was undeniable, but it was his indomitable spirit that truly set him apart. He was the kind of companion who would encourage you to persevere, even when the odds seemed insurmountable.

Adrian’s life was a testament to the transformative power of love, kindness, and faith. He was a beacon of divine light in a world often shrouded in darkness, and his legacy continues to inspire those who knew him. His existence may have been brief, but his impact was immeasurable. Saint Adrian, as he was affectionately known, will forever be remembered for his kindness, his unwavering faith, and his ceaseless dedication to making the world a better place.

May the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you all. Amen.
