Adrian Alan Caruthers

Adrian Alan Caruthers, 72, passed away surrounded by family and friends who loved him deeply. Born on July 1, 1953, to Billy and Adrian Wesley Caruthers, Adrian lived a full and spirited life defined by loyalty, laughter, and love.

From a young age, Adrian had a knack for working with his hands. He spent much of his early life fixing up cars, a passion that stayed with him through the years. He could talk for hours about engines and old trucks, always with a story or two to share. Alongside his love of cars, Adrian had a deep appreciation for classic country music, especially the sounds of George Strait, whose songs often played in the background of his happiest moments.

Adrian was more than just a mechanic and a music lover — he was a man with a big personality and an even bigger heart. He was known for being stubborn in the best way, standing firm in his beliefs and fiercely loyal to those he cared about. His family and friends knew they could always count on him for honesty, humor, and a good laugh.

In his retirement, Adrian enjoyed the simple pleasures of life. He loved spending time with his close-knit group of friends, sharing stories, laughter, and a good cigar. He had a special way of making everyone around him feel welcome and part of something — whether it was a backyard hangout or a quick visit at the cigar shop.

Adrian’s family was his greatest joy and pride. He is survived by his daughters Ginnie and Christy, and his son Adrian Jr. He was a devoted grandfather to Elizabeth, Nikki, Chance, and Michelle, and a proud great-grandfather to Tucker, Presley, and Logan. His family will always remember his laughter, his teasing sense of humor, and his endless love and support.

Adrian’s life was one of connection — with his family and his friends. He brought light and laughter wherever he went, and his memory will continue to bring smiles to those who knew him best.

A graveside service will be held at Emerald Hills Funeral Home in Kennedale, Texas, on Thursday October 23 at 11 AM where family and friends are invited to gather and celebrate the life of a man who truly was the life of the party.

The family kindly requests no flowers. In lieu of flowers, they ask that you honor Adrian’s memory by sharing a story, playing a George Strait song, or simply spending time with the people you love most— just as he always did.

Though Adrian has gone on ahead, his spirit remains strong — in every laugh shared, every song sung, and every engine that roars to life.
