Adrian C. Roman passed away on April 30, 2020, in Tucson, Arizona. Roman C. Adrian, beloved as Companion, Father, Brother, Uncle, Grandpa, and Friend.

He worked in different fields - optometry labs in Sierra Vista, AZ, as a painter for AK Painting, a janitor for Mt Turnbull Apache Market, and a janitor for Bylas OAC (Older Adult Center). Roman met his companion Reynelda in 2007, and they began a relationship. He took pleasure in reading, watching TV, watching his UFO movies, visiting friends Dusty Moses, Bear David Vigil, Wonder, and Manuel. Despite the fact that Roman had been ailing for some time now, there is some open joy in knowing that the unetched and intricate capacity of his journey is finished. With his starting from this world giving rise to a gaping void in the lives of his family and friends. We hold the comfort that he called upon us from God and we hope to see him again soon. He will be missed but lovingly committed to memory. He was a proud member of the San Carlos Apache Tribe Veteran's Association. He would participate in all of the events with his fellow comrades.
