Adrian, God saw you so tired, and he wrapped you in his loving arms, and whispered ‘come with me’.
Adrian Alexander Jones came into this world as a blessing on May 15, 2008. On September 28, 2015 at age 7, our sweet little boy earned his angel wings and went to his heavenly home. Our little superhero was strong and courageous in his fight, and went through hell and came out of the darkness as our precious angel. Our wish for you Adrian is that in heaven you get to skip through rain puddles, run through green meadows, sit at the end of rainbows, sleep peaceful within the stars, make many friends, get all the hugs and kisses you so deserve, and that you always spread your angel wings and soar. Thank you Lord for blessing us with this beautiful soul. Until we are together again, fly high sweet angel.
Adrian leaves behind his loving mother, Dainna Pearce of Lawrence KS, three sisters, Keiona Doctor, Madison and Tiesa Jones, two brothers Tarrell and Hayden Haynes, grandparents Judy Conway of Emporia, KS and Tracy Pearce of San Pedro, CA, and many aunts, uncles, cousins, and a host of many friends worldwide.
Funeral services will be held on Saturday, October 21 at 11:00 a.m. at Rumsey-Yost Funeral Home, Lawrence, Kansas. Adrian’s final resting place will be Oak Hill Cemetery.

Rest In Peace beautiful baby. Your story touched my heart and changed my life. You were always loved and will always be loved and remembered for your strength and endurance sweet man
You’ll be in my heart forever. You live forever. My condolences to your family and loved ones.
My grandson Adrian, you are my forever superhero, the light of my life. I wish at times that heaven had a window and that God would grant me a view of all its beauty, and if that were possible, I would only look for you. I would listen for your laughter that always made me smile. I would look for your dark curly brown hair, and big brown eyes. I would search for those perfect little hands that intertwined so perfectly with mine. I would search for your smile that I knew so well. Sometimes I will read a treasured card that you had given to me, and I will sit and trace your name, and think of that happy moment when you signed that card just for me. You have taught my grieving soul how to cope by using your angel wings to brush away my dark clouds of sadness. I want you to know that if I were given just one moment, just a single slice of my past, I would want to spend that moment with you. Your courageous heart, your beautiful soul, your loving spirit, all the times you were alone with your silent pleas, your strength on days when I am sure you had none. I hope you are looking down from heaven smiling that perfect smile of yours, nothing but peace surrounding you I miss you Adrian with all my heart, and until I journey to that peaceful place in heaven and see you again, I will fill my mind and heart with happy memories of you. For all the remaining seasons of my life, you will be missed.

My sweet little boy, you have impacted so many lives all over the world. Your life mattered. You are loved by many wonderful people. I never met you in this life, but I look forward to meeting you someday and shower you with endless hugs and kisses!!! You have brought so much good into this world. I love forever, Adrian. ?
Your strength amazes all of us. Your courage deserves a medal. Your passion for life is beyond words. Bless your little heart baby boy. N oone can hold a candle to you.
Countless children will live in a safer and more secure world because of you. They will not know you by name. Guardian Angels are anonymous.
As for us, we fail to exist without hope.
The mindset of losing a loved one is to understand that the loss and pain will never be undone.
We must live with it. But, to live well we will turn our sorrow into the positive cause. That way we will become the best version of ourselves, scarred, flawed and unstoppable.
We love Mr. Adrian Jones
Dearest Adrian, My heart is heavy that we have lost an innocent little boy and you were so precious and full of joy and giving. It was so unfair for you to be made to suffer in such unspeakable manner of cruelty. Jesus will hold you in his loving arms that you deserve. You deserve peace and happiness and I know your soul is restful without fear and anxiety now you are home in God’s house. Fly with the angels and know you are in each of our hearts. I love you Adrian. I miss you. Love you to the moon and back. ????
Dear Adrian,
Although it saddens me to write to you here, I am so grateful you are no longer suffering. You are stronger than anyone I know, having endured so much in your short life. You are a true superhero. You have brought so many people together from all over the world and because of you, other children will be saved. You are truly an amazing, special child. Your light will never dim – we will always honor your memory!
Fly high, sweet angel. ??
Until we meet –
Love always,
Summer
