Today is two years since my respected friend Adrian left the earthly world. I am forever in your debt Adrian for the things you taught me about life, peace, acceptance and so much more. May you rest in peace and rejoice in your heavenly loft my friend! Gary

Two years ago today you left us to be with the Lord. Man, I really miss you, Adrian...we ALL do. The silver lining, if you can call it that, is you are in a far better place than us, free from pain and suffering, in a place without tears. Thank you for being my friend, I am blessed to have known you. You made a positive difference down here, that's for certain!

Don't know why but I thought of you today bro. I miss our talks. Been listening to a variety of the mp3 you sent me.

As you look down upon all of those you left behind. I sure hope I make you proud that you are my brother and friend.

God bless you Adrian

I remember being at an outdoor theater production in Las Vegas~ the bass player in the pit was playing his butt off~ I later saw that it was Adrian and he let me play his famous white Nordstrand.

Don't know him, have not heard of him til today.

I can only comment on the wonderful humanity and grace that the TBers showed to a fallen brother.

Just reading this thread made me tear up.

What a wonderful community. I'm so glad I joined.

Though I did not know you Adrian, may you RIP.

Took my Adrian Garcia Tribute bass out at last nite's gig. Taking it tonite, too...thought of you, AG, while I was playing. It sounded monstrous, even through the 6" speakers I was using...

For those of you who don't know what I'm talking about, I got a white Squier Jazz 5 Deluxe, and tweaked it slightly. I put in Nordstrand Fat Stacks, and an Aguilar OBP-3. Now it sounds a lot like a cross between a Nordy and a Sadowsky. Adrian knew of it, but never got to play it or hear it. So it's my tribute to a great friend, and a great bassist.

Bro,

I miss you man!!

I have my Nordstrand bass in my hands as this came in. I am rehearsing and making charts for a gig I am subbing on this weekend. ....So I was thinking about Adrian too, My Nordstrand Neck plate reads:

In memory of Adrian Garcia, 1958-2008

Still nothing but love. What a huge loss. I could use a talk with Adrian right about now. Need his calm, peaceful spiritual assurance. ..So thanks for posting Dre. This serves as notice that Adrian still touches us and that he not only made a difference, ....he STILL "makes" a difference. What a blessing to have known him. Gary

As someone who has been on TB for a long time, but whose activity waxes and wanes, I completely missed all of this when it happened. I saw a "in memory of Adrian" in a TBers signature and immediately had a sinking feeling in my stomach, and searched out this thread.

I didn't have nearly the relationship with Adrian that many of you did, but when I first became active on TB years ago, I was struck with how much respect this "Adrian Garcia" guy was getting, and it didn't take long (reading a few of his posts) to see why. He struck all of us as a wonderful person and somebody who made everybody's day a little better, even someone who just bumped into him here or there on an Internet forum (like me). I always enjoyed bumping into his posts because there was something about him that just made your day a little brighter. I can vividly remember thinking how much I respect a person with the kind of attitude he seemed to have, and how much I wish I had many of those seemingly simple, yet incredibly elusive qualities myself.

I would say he will be missed, but this thread is a big testament to that fact. I only regret that I wasn't fortunate enough to know him better, and I also regret that I wasn't around during this to add to the incredible level of support he was getting during his tough times. Best wishes to his family.

Man, it's been over three years now since we lost our brother.
I know this is a sticky at the top of the forum and should always remain as such for the life of TB IMO.
Going through and reading some of the posts, I came ascorr Carey's who posted the news of his passing.
It still leaves a lump in my throat.
What a beautiful person Adrian was.

Happy Birthday Adrian. You are not forgotten

True are these words. Hope all is well Andre.

Happy Birthday, Adrian. We really miss you down here, you know...but I trust we'll eventually meet, and hang, play bass together, etc...still have your 210Neo cab. I don't play it out, because I don't want anything to happen to it, but it's a sweet cab nonetheless, and I use it at home for practicing in my room. It will never leave my possession...

Almost 4 years since you left us, and I think of you often. I miss our long talks, they are always valuable to me. I kind of "replay" them in my head sometimes. Miss you, bro...

Love ya, Adrian. Happy Birthday, brother. I know you're lockin' that big bad groove at the celestial jam and I can't think of a better way to spend it. Still miss you, man.
