Adrian passed away peacefully on Sunday, August 11, 2024.
He was predeceased by his parents, Myrt and Bruce Ashley; and older brother Robert.
Left to mourn his loss are his sister Sue Ashley; brother Wayne Ashley; and niece Lauren Ashley-Vaughan.
Adrian struggled with mental illness all of his adult life. But despite the obstacles thrown in his path, he nevertheless managed to obtain many academic credentials including a diploma in electronics from Red River Community College (formerly the Manitoba Institute of Technology) and a Fine Arts Degree from the University of Manitoba. Adrian was born with a natural talent in art, creating many paintings during his lifetime.
Adrian’s family would like to especially thank his physician, Dr. Sheldon Permack, who provided excellent care both as a physician and a compassionate human being.
There will be a private family Celebration of Life at a future date.
The family requests that friends visit Adrian Ashley's tribute wall at www.bardal.ca where condolences, photos and stories may be placed for all to see.

So, sorry to learn of Adrian’s passing. Adrian and I rode motorcycles together in the 60s. His Harley was the nicest/newest of our group of 5. We often rode together. On one occasion I remember he had his saxophone in his motorcycle saddlebag, and he met me at my workplace. He played a new tune he had learned (Louie Louie), on the sidewalk as my coworkers watched. He was the only person to come to our wedding on a motorcycle. At that time he didn’t like cars. We drifted apart over the years but I have often thought of him. If you were his friend, he was a very loyal friend to you. Terry Turcan West Kelowna BC - Posted by: Terry Turcan (Friend) on: Aug 18, 2024
