Ulices Adrian Linares Cardenas, age 39, of Mt. Airy, Georgia, entered rest peacefully on Friday, March 1, 2024.
Mr. Linares was born on July 16, 1984 in Jalisco, Mexico to the late Alberto Linares and Bertha Cardenas.
Adrian had a deep passion for videography and photography, and it was evident in the countless moments he captured for friends and family. In addition to his love for capturing memories, Adrian had a deep affection for soccer; whether he was watching games, playing himself, or passing on his passion for the sport to his son, Jared, soccer held a special place in his heart. He also enjoyed indulging in his other interests, such as watching movies, traveling to the beach, and experiencing the thrill of roller coasters at Disney, reading the Bible, or eating a nice meal with his family, and especially taking time to work out at the gym for hours at a time. Adrian was employed with Lumite in Alto for the past seven years. He was also an active member of Mt. Airy Baptist Church, helping with the “hanging of the greens” or volunteering at vacation bible school. Known for his generosity and willingness to help others, he touched the hearts of many with his selflessness and compassion.
Most importantly, Adrian will be remembered as a loving and dedicated husband, father, grandfather, son, brother and friend.
In addition to his mother, survivors include his loving wife of 17 years, Melissa Pitts Linares, of Mt. Airy; sons, Jared Linares, of Mt. Airy; Alex Pitts (Victoria), of Mt.
