Adrian Fernando Flores

Adrian Fernando Flores, of Colorado Springs, passed away on July 5th, 2026 in Westcreek, close to Woodland Park, CO.

He was born on October 6th, 1975 to Adrian Manuel Flores (Carlos) and Elsa Lidia Vercelli, in Whiteplains, New York. He spent his early years between Argentina and America, living in New York, Buenos Aires and Florida. He joined the US Airforce in 1995 and spent time stationed, and on multiple tours, in the United States, Middle East, Germany and Korea.

He became a certified mechanic, following in his dad’s footsteps, doing what he loved, and continued as mechanic after the military, working on the east coast, usually with German cars. He was passionate about Audis and was an Audi master mechanic. One of his greatest joys was finally getting his own shop, in 2025, in Colorado Springs.

Adrian loved adventure and adrenaline, if there was an opportunity to push his body and invite danger, he was there, his whole life – skateboarding, surfing, car racing, snowboarding, dirt-biking, street riding. And any type of sport you could imagine. In his adult life, a natural leader, whatever online or local community he was part of, he drew people in and this is so evident in the wonderful motorcycle community where he was a father-figure and an elder brother to so many over the last couple of years.

Everybody, friends and family, got to listen to his playlists, the music that made up so much of his life, quite often while he was grilling, cooking being another passion. He loved people enjoying food, his food which he prepared so carefully every time. And he prayed, for all those he loved, lived with, met, and rode with.

Adrian’s dad died in 2016. His family, still on earth, includes his wife - Sharon; his kids - Kaela with her husband Tevin, and grandsons Lane and Robbie, Adrian, and Christian; his step-kids - Edward, Eleanor and Sebastian; his mom - Elsa; and his siblings Gabriela, and Natasha; and his cousins, nieces and nephew in Argentina.
