Adrian Jerome Pasquini was born on April 14, 1929, in Lucca, Italy to his 
parents Ida and Ambrose. He came to America at age nine with his family 
including his 2 sisters, Carla and Anna. They resided here in Bakersfield 
where his parents worked very hard to make sure their children were well taken 
care of. Those values and hard work ethic stayed with Adrian for the rest of 
his life. He proudly served in the Army as a Corporal from 1951-1953.

Adrian met his wife, Virginia and they were married on July 6, 1962. They had 
four children, Marc, Lisa, Gia and Paul and in 1965 he built his home from his 
own blueprints and creative mind, where they raised their family. He worked 
hard to provide for his family and made sure all necessities were met, he sent 
his children to St. Francis School and later to Garces High School. He was 
proud of his children and took care of his ailing wife. He has conquered many 
of lifes obstacles without corrupting his good nature. He was a true 
Renaissance Man and could fix or reproduce almost any mechanical item. He was 
a master craftsman, taking pride in his work, creating many masterful and 
unique objects. He always came up with a way to make something out of nothing 
and often his ideas were so great they couldve been patented, but being as 
humble as he was, he never acted on greed. He found joy and fullfillment in 
helping others and never turned his back on family or friends.

As a professional, Adrian was a Master Builder. While working for Ernest L. 
McCoy & Associates for 31 years, he was involved in the design of many 
schools, banks and hospitals in Kern County including the San Joaquin 
Community Hospital, Kern County Courthouse and the Bank of America Building. 
After retiring from the field of Architecture, Adrian started his second 
career of 20 years as a Senior Project Manager for Colombo Construction 
Company. Adrian has left a legacy in Kern County through his role in 
developing Construction Management for the construction of public school 
projects. He is known for his wide range of knowledge, his artistic talent, 
his dedication to education, and his heartfelt commitment to his clients. 

He was preceded in death by his parents, Ambrose and Ida Pasquini and his 
loving wife, Virginia Pasquini. He is survived by his son and daughter-in-law, 
Marc and Debbie Pasquini; daughter and son-in-law, Lisa and John Sharp; 
daughter, Gia Daoutis; son and daughter-in-law, Paul and Melanie Pasquini; 10
