On behalf of myself, my husband, children and family we offer our sincerest condolences to the Mabon family. I remember years past when I would call his sister Pam after we both finished college and lived in different parts of the country. When I'd call and Adrian picked up we always had a quick chat before he would  either reveal that Pam not there at the time or call her to the phone. It was always truly a pleasant and welcoming conversation. I often felt he embodied my idea of a Southern gentleman.  Even over the phone he was a friend and we shared little jokes that was our own between us.. I treasure those moments and feel privileged to have know and been influenced by such a generous spirit and caring soul. I pray God that Adrian rests in peace under God's Mercy. To the family know that we are with you in spirit if not physically present. I pray that the way forward is filled with more pleasant memories than sadness.

Hello to the family in Memphis,
From all of us here in Charleston, our hearts are heavy for your loss, but we remain deeply grateful for the years of love, friendship and support between the Mabons, and Minnie and Lawrence Smith in Philadelphia, PA, and later in Charleston, SC.

The years have passed much quicker than we expected, but the love of family never diminshes. We enjoyed being in contact with Adrian when he lived here in Charleston. He was so kind, warm and always left you feeling better. We prayed, along with his family, for a physical healing, but as God has chosen to heal him by taking him home, we now pray for peace and consolation. 

His loss will be felt for many years to come, but what he left will enrich all of us, each of us, for a lifetime.

With love and ((((hugs)))) from Lawrence Smith, Minnie Morton, Toby Smith, and Larry Smith. 

I did not have the pleasure of meeting Adrian in person but I feel like I knew him still. I have been a colleague & friend of his most beautiful sister, Pamela, for many years. We’ve had countless conversations about her beloved brother & her family. My sincerest condolences are extended to my wonderful friend, Pamela, & to the family. May God grant you comfort & peace. Also, may the memories of your precious loved one, Adrian, help to soothe your broken hearts. I share in your pain.  My thoughts & prayers will continue to be with you all. God bless each of you. Rest in Paradise, Adrian. 🙏🏽

I will always remember the memories that we shared growing up, and will miss the great man you became.

Cousin- my heart is so heavy that you are no longer with us.
Your memory will stay with me always. I will miss the light that you shone on everyone that was blessed enough to have none you.

Love,
Ericka McGee

Adrian was a proud member of the Memphis Area Master Gardeners Association.  He helped answer gardening questions at the Shelby County Extension Office and he volunteered with the Seed Library at the Main Library.
