Adrian Burhop, a friend legend, a source of fun, and a beloved spirit who touched many lives, is remembered with love. I mourn his departure, but today I celebrate his remarkable life. My acquaintance with Adrian went beyond friendship; he was one of the funniest people I knew. Our vocabulary, based on “oh yes” and “oh no,” expressed our excitement in life’s comedy.
These remarks punctuated every amusing or exceptional occurrence, creating a shared tapestry of laughing that will always stay with me.
We worked together on films, organized Sea Shepherd benefits, and danced carefree at many parties. One of our favorite memories is diving into the Carré Saint-Louis fountain, expressing Adrian’s boundless energy. Adrian was a groomsman at my wedding, demonstrating our closeness.
His uncommon capacity to listen with real caring made him a confidant and comforter. Adrian’s Vimeo comic sketch films, where his contagious grin and funny delivery enthralled audiences, continue his legacy.
He was a sought-after voice actor in Montreal, appearing in commercials, documentaries, and other media, creating an impression. While looking over old images, I remember the pleasure and laughter that distinguished our friendship.
Adrian is remembered via our memories and laughs. Join me in commemorating the life of a wonderful person whose effect will long be felt by those who knew him. Adrian, we will miss you. Without your sparkling laughter, the world is duller.
