In a statement shared by the family, they wrote: “Adriana was our heart. Her love was endless, her smile unforgettable. Our world is dimmer without her.”
Friends describe Adriana as the one who always showed up — the one who called when you were sad, who laughed the loudest at your jokes, and who stood by you when no one else did. Her deep compassion and fierce sense of justice made her a rare soul in this world. Her passing not only leaves sorrow but also a reminder of how deeply one person can impact others in such a short time.

In honor of Adriana’s memory, a candlelight vigil will be held this week in Chicago, open to the public. The family encourages those who knew her to share their stories, pictures, and tributes, helping to keep her light burning even in her physical absence.
The community has truly lost a gem — a young woman whose life was a blessing and whose absence is a tragedy. Adriana Cervantes will never be forgotten.
