Adrian Robles

Adrian Robles, a beloved father, brother, and friend, passed away peacefully on August 3, 2025, at the age of 68. Born on June 8, 1957, Adrian dedicated his life to the craft he loved—automotive mechanics. For over 20 years, he was not just a mechanic, but a pillar of support for many in the community of Nogales, where he earned a reputation as the best mechanic around. His journey included a proud milestone when he became his own boss, converting a Ford van into a mobile workshop, equipped with tools that reflected his passion for fixing cars and helping others.

Adrian was much more than his career. He was the epitome of kindness and warmth, characterized by a steadfast love for his family and friends. He possessed an indomitable spirit that shone brightly through his stubborn determination and strength. Adrian never faced a problem he couldn’t tackle; he was the type of man who always found a way to fix anything that came his way.

Memories of Adrian are a tapestry woven with shared laughter and joy. His son, Carlos Robles, recalls cherished moments filled with food and fun, like the time when tacos dorados from Mexico turned into a feast as they savored twenty each, laughing and enjoying good company. Family outings to the movies were lavishly punctuated by snacks bought with love, a testament to the nurturing heart he possessed. Together, they trekked through life, with Adrian encouraging Carlos every step of the way while instilling unwavering support and guidance.

Adrian had a zest for life that continued outside of his work. He found immense joy in camping trips, particularly during his birthday celebrations. Year after year, he would retreat to Patagonia Lake, reveling in nature’s beauty for weeks at a time, enjoying fishing, relaxing by the water, and sharing a cold beer as the day drew to a close. These moments of serenity were perfectly complemented by the company of loved ones, providing a deeper bond through shared adventures.

Those who knew Adrian were fortunate to experience his love firsthand. Whether he was working or spending time with family, he always placed those he loved above all else. His unwavering care and concern for Carlos, and importantly, all those around him, created a legacy characterized by an abundance of love and support. He leaves behind not only precious memories but also a tight-knit circle of family that includes his devoted son, Carlos, his cherished siblings—Armando, David, and Isabel Robles—and their parents, Daniel and Alicia Robles.

As we gather to celebrate Adrian's life, we remember a remarkable man who leaves an indelible mark on our hearts. A visitation will be held on August 11, 2025, at Martinez Funeral Chapels in Nogales from 9:00 AM to 1:30 PM, followed by a Mass at Sacred Heart Catholic Church at 2:00 PM. Adrian's spirit will forever live on in the stories we share and the lives he touched.
