Obituary of Adrian Mierop
It is with heartfelt sadness that we announce the peaceful passing of Adrian Mierop, on April 19, 2021, at Royal Rose Place, after some recent health issues. Beloved son of Jenny (Adriana) Mierop. Cherished brother of Nellie Scholman and brother-in-law of Bob (Rita) Egerter. Special Uncle to Janice (Jeff) Rice, Dan Scholman, Kerri (Steve) Goodger, Kathleen (John) Katz, Blair (Laura) Egerter, Andrew (Lisa) Scholman and LeAnn (Mike) Thomson; as well as Great-Uncle to many little ones, who he loved very much. He will be sadly missed by his aunts, uncles and cousins throughout Ontario and the Netherlands. Adrian was predeceased by his beloved father Daniel Mierop, cherished twin sisters Cathy Egerter and Carol Selinger, and baby sister Janey.Born with Down’s Syndrome in 1962, he lived a full and rich life because of the care of his devoted mother, sisters and family. Up until the lockdowns, Adrian loved going to work at Community Living of Welland, bowling on Friday night with Special Olympics and spending Saturday afternoons with Bob. He enjoyed watching construction in the neighbourhood, the Toronto Maple Leafs, and playing Santa at Christmas time. There was nothing better than to get a wave and to see him smile and laugh!
The family would like to thank the doctors, nurses and personal support workers at Royal Rose Place, specifically the Robinson Unit, for the compassion and care he received these past months. A heartfelt thank you to Pastor Carson of Christ Community Church for his care and support over the years. Arrangements are entrusted to Essentials Cremation and Burial Services (905-354-2133). Due to the lockdown restrictions, a private family gathering and burial will take place at Fonthill Cemetery, 25 Highland Avenue. A memorial service celebrating Adrian’s life will be held at a later time when family and friends can safely gather together
Memorial donations may be made to Community Living of Welland/Pelham or Christ Community Church in Welland. Online condolences and donations may be made on Adrian’s tribute page, at EssentialsNiagara.com.

Dear Jannie: While watching the Essentials 4th Candlelight Ceremony for one of our family, we noticed the name of Adrian. Our deepest condolences go out to you and your family. When we used to live on Station Street, Adrian would often walk by and stop and watch Craig cut the lawn, or he would always notice when one of our kids needed their shoelaces tied up. He always brought a smile to our faces. Sending hugs, Craig & Sina McInnis
We are so sorry for your loss. It was always a pleasure to see Adrian at bowling and the banquets for Special Olympics.
With Sympathy,
Nathan Hajdu, Vicky and Werner Weiss
Condolences Jannie and family! Adrian exemplified what Christ Community was – accepting, joyful and loving. I remember his profession of faith. “He was asked “Do you love Jesus?” His response – “Yah”

Dear Jenny and Family:
I am so sorry and can’t seem to find the right words. Adrian and I met when I was 21 and first started my job at the workshop on Hagar St. He was the first person to make me welcome and took me under his wing. Adrian, to me, was the best. He was a hard worker, a caring soul and good friend. He made me laugh daily. Adrian taught me so many things throughout the years and challenged me to think differently. I am not sure what the world will be like without him but it will not be better. I am better for having known him and will miss him dearly.
You are in my thoughts and prayers…
