Obituary of Adrian Koziel

Adrian came into the world on June 3, 1994 to the joy of his mom, Beata, his dad, Mirek and his brother, Tom to complete their family of four. He was kind, thoughtful, intelligent, curious, funny, loyal, helpful and the best son, brother, cousin, nephew and friend that anyone can ask for. 

He loved spending time with family and friends, sports, skiing, animals/nature, hiking, gaming, cooking for his family, and exploring new cities, cultures and places around the world. 

He graduated from Benjamin Cardozo High School in 2012 where he played football. He attended Syracuse University and was a member of the Phi Kappa Psi Fraternity. He was planning on pursuing a career in business/finance after completing his degree. 

Adrian was loved by all and was known for having a heart of gold. He is the beloved son to Beata and Mirek Koziel, adored brother and best friend to Tom Koziel, beloved grandson to Jadwiga Kita, beloved nephew and cousin to extended family and cherished friend to all of his life friends.

He is predeceased by his grandfather Tadeusz Kita and his grandparents Marianna and Marian Koziel. 

We love you Adrian forever and always, forever and always, forever and always!
