Adrian Maurice Cary was a beacon of love and kindness, touching the lives of everyone he met. He was dedicated to his family, worked tirelessly, and embraced life to the fullest. Adrian understood the transformative power of education; he believed that higher education could pave the way for a brighter future. Whether through a four-year university, a two-year college, or vocational training, education can elevate lives and break the cycle of poverty.

Adrian attended Virginia Commonwealth University (VCU) and later earned his degree from ECPI University. While juggling two jobs, he achieved a Bachelor of Science in Computer and Information Science. He began his career working on the loading docks at Walmart Distribution Center at Zion Crossroads, Gordonsville, Virginia, and later at Estes in Richmond, Virginia. Through hard work, determination, and perseverance, Adrian advanced from the loading docks to a position as a Computer Specialist at the corporate office of Estes.

Tragically, after starting his new career, Adrian fell seriously ill and passed away due to complications from heart surgery. He left behind two daughters—one in middle school and the other in her third year of college—who will graduate debt-free, thanks to their father's relentless dedication and hard work.
