FgofuIt is with deep sorrow that we announce the untimely death of Adrian Magallanes, a beloved father, husband, brother, and son, who passed away in a tragic accident on April 22, 2024. Adrian was 38 years old and lived a life marked by kindness, dedication, and love for his family and friends.
The fatal incident occurred on San Timoteo Canyon Road, near Deadwood Court, in Moreno Valley. Adrian was driving his 2005 Nissan Titan northbound when, for reasons yet to be determined, his vehicle veered off the road and collided with a tree. Emergency services arrived promptly, but despite their efforts, Adrian was pronounced dead at the scene due to the severe injuries he sustained.
Adrian’s passenger, who has not been named, suffered moderate injuries in the accident and was transported to a regional trauma center for treatment. The condition of the passenger is currently stable, and they are receiving the necessary medical care.
Adrian was a resident of Redlands and is survived by his wife, Andrea Avitia-Magallanes, and their children, whose lives he enriched with his unwavering support and affection. He was a dedicated family man who worked tirelessly to provide for his loved ones and contribute to his community.
As investigations continue, the cause of the crash, including potential involvement of alcohol or drugs, remains under review. The San Gorgonio CHP office is handling the inquiry and has encouraged anyone with information about the incident to come forward.
In memory of Adrian, his family has initiated a fundraising campaign to cover the funeral expenses. The sudden nature of Adrian’s departure has left his family unprepared for the financial burden of a funeral. They aim to raise $18,000 by Sunday, April 28, 2024, to give Adrian the memorial he deserves and to honor his memory in a fitting manner.
Andrea Avitia-Magallanes, Adrian’s wife, shared a heartfelt message: “Adrian was a loving husband, father, brother, and son who touched the lives of those around him. We are all devastated by Adrian’s loss and were not prepared for the high cost of a funeral service. We want to give Adrian the memorial he deserves, to honor his memory and say our last goodbyes. Any amount will truly help our family during this difficult time.”
The family appreciates the outpouring of support from friends and community members and invites those who knew Adrian to leave condolence messages and prayers. Sharing memories of Adrian and contributing to the fundraising effort will greatly assist his family during this challenging period.
As we mourn the loss of a remarkable individual, we are reminded of the fragility of life and the importance of cherishing every moment with our loved ones. Adrian Magallanes will be deeply missed, but his legacy of kindness and dedication will forever live in the hearts of those he touched.
