Adrian Marquis Brown

ADRIAN’S JOURNEY ADRIAN MARQUIS BROWN was born in Salisbury, Maryland on September 11, 1990 to Avis Brown and was a resident of Columbia, Maryland. As a teenager, Adrian was baptized and accepted Christ as his personal savior. He departed this life suddenly on July 8, 2022. Adrian was educated in the Wicomico and Howard County Maryland public school systems. At the time of his death, he was an owner-operator employed by Hirschbach. Anyone who knew him would tell you that all he wanted to do was drive trucks. He felt that having a CDL and not being on the road doing something that he loved was a waste. Adrian and his brother even started their own towing business, Top Notch (TNT). He was a hard-working, dedicated worker who took pride in any job that he held. Adrian loved being on the open highways. He enjoyed seeing the country from the East Coast to the West Coast. He just loved driving the big trucks; he even thought about it as a kid. More than work, Adrian enjoyed his family. He especially loved being with his young son, Eric. Sometimes you would find Eric enjoying a ride in his dad’s big truck. Even his mother would jump in the truck with him to take a short ride. His family meant everything to him. He very much loved his siblings Jordan, India and Skylar. Adrian was a chef by imagination; he really thought he could cook and throw down on a grill. Aside from that, he also enjoyed listening to music. His mother would always hear him driving up because of his booming system. He had that suave smile whenever he wanted to act innocent. His mom would say that Adrian was a big kid because she had to yell at him like she was yelling and disciplining the kids. Anyone who knew Adrian would say that he had a big heart. Adrian is lovingly survived by: one son, Eric Brown of Columbia, MD; his mother, Avis Brown; sisters, India Horsey and Skylar Brown; brother, Jordan Brown and two nieces, Tamerah and Mariah Robinson, all of Columbia, MD; brother, Noah Brill of York, PA; brother, Tyrone II and sister Natyah Greene, both of Salisbury, MD; a grandmother, Annie Brown; two aunts, Amy Brown of Columbia, MD and Chenita Marshall (Sidney) of Laurel, MD; one uncle, John Brown (Stacy) of Glen Burnie, MD; eleven first cousins; his best friend Omar and a host of other family and friends. He was preceded in death by his maternal grandfather, John Brown and maternal great-grandparents, Eugene and Annie Harris, and good friend Dre aka Millie Williams. Jordan and Adrian went by the motto; that they are “My Brother’s Keeper” and lived by the motto; “If you ever go blind, I’ll be your eyes.” SUBMITTED WITH LOVE ~ THE FAMILY Lovingly Submitted, The Family
