Adrian Elias Mendez, was a first generation Mexican-American that came to the United States from his birth country, Mexico City to be more precise. At a very early age Adrian knew that he wanted to serve his new home Country whom he loved so much. After High School, Adrian started working for Porsche Cars then suddenly 9/11 occured and he enlisted in his beloved United States Marine Corps. After serving his country and being away from home on different deployments he decided that he wasn’t quite done serving and that is when Adrian decided to become a Deputy with the Los Angeles Sherrif Department. Adrian was an exceptional human being who walked amongst us to do “Gods work” as i like to call it. Being his sister here on earth was such a privilege and there is not a day where i don’t think about him nor any of the countless amounts of people who he made an impact on before and after his death.
