Adrian Yeo Obituary

Following a fierce and stubborn fight with cancer, Adrian Yeo passed away Wednesday, March 9, 2016 in Del Rio, Texas.

Born in Oxford, England, Adrian raised hell across the pond until his late teenage years, then discovered the exciting American distractions like entrepreneurship, American girls, hunting and (most importantly) fishing.

Adrian spent a significant amount of years in Colorado Springs, near his mother Annie and sister Leanne, surrounded by his nephew Chris, and nieces Chelsea and Brianna. He especially enjoyed visits from his younger sister Michelle and niece Marissa.

He was a die hard Oxford United and Manchester United "football" fan.... lest we forget his love affair with REAL football and the Denver Broncos.

After his mother's passing in 2012, Adrian had a successful wrestle with cancer in 2013, celebrating the victory with the eternal fishing trip in Del Rio and one of his favorite fishing lakes, Lake Amistad - among more friends thrilled to have him as their neighbor.

He will be mourned by all whose lives he had touched - but not without the smirk and knowledge that will accompany all thoughts, imagining (if not knowing first-hand) the fight he exerted through this journey to the end.

Adrian, tell Annie "Hi" for us...

I'm one of those American girls that distracted Adrian back in the early '90's, but he was such an amazing guy, I always held him close to my heart. We had a great friendship for many years until I moved away from Colorado Springs, but I visited him when he moved to Cripple Creek? Divide? My mind is blank right now. I always wanted to keep in touch with him, but life sometimes gets in the way. Adrian, you will always be in my heart.

I am speechless...after all what do you say about the loss of someone with whom you shared a intense, crazy ride through life with... Visions of the first time we met, the years in between, and the last night before we parted have flooded my mind - so much so that I find it difficult to concentrate. I often told you I had a great memory to which you'd respond that you counted on it. Now it is those memories that I retreat to find solace from your passing. Rest peacefully Adrian...xx

I miss you so much already. I would have never dreamed when we first met how close and true we would become. Thank you for the countless peaceful days we set on the deck and watched the hummingbirds and deer. And our laughter. I shall miss that the most. Although it was mainly at each other. I thank you for the fishing lessons. Thanks to you I now know what winning 1st place feels like. You taught me how to punch cane that day. A very good day to fish. Until we fish and laugh again...thank you for being my friend.

Gonna miss you my friend. I never dreamed from the 1st times I was around you that we'd become the friends we did. Had us some really peaceful fun time. And the best is that we laughed all the time. Although it was at each other. Until we laugh again.... I also would like to thank you for the things you taught me fishing. Plus how it feels to win a 1st place. You taught me how to punch cane that day. I'll never forget you. Thanks for being my true friend
