Adrian Andrew Olivarez (Ace) age 52 of Prosser Washington departed this world unexpectedly on April 26, 2026 surrounded by his loving family.
Adrian was born June 16, 1973 in Sunnyside Washington to Israel and Silvestra (Martinez) Olivarez.
Adrian received his education in Mabton Washington graduating from Mabton Jr/Sr High School in 1991. In high school he was a standout athlete receiving first team honors for both basketball and soccer. He took great pride in being a Mabton Viking. He continued his higher education at Perry Technical College receiving a mechanic degree in 1998.
On July 13, 1999 after 8 years of dating he married Leah Montelongo and together they raised three beautiful children, Adrian (Lil Ace), Asía and Aries.
Adrian had a great love for basketball and soccer and was able to coach all his children during their youth as well as his niece Kayla and nephews, Michael and Nicholas. He touched many lives through his numerous years of coaching and will always be remembered as the coach the refs had to constantly tell to stay behind the line.
He was a lifelong fan of the LA Lakers and Seattle Seahawks. You could find Adrian a lot of the time watching throwback NBA games online but he was his happiest with dirt on his hands and the sun on his face. He was passionate about music particularly Hip Hop and Rap. Adrian's favorite holiday was the 4th of July where he loved to spend time with his siblings and their families.
Adrian greatest joy in life were his children and grandchildren. He left this earth with them knowing they could always count on their dad and papa in times of need. He was a loving, caring and spontaneous grandfather who left his granddaughters with nothing but amazing memories and always went above and beyond for them. Whether it was a sleep over or truck ride, they always knew papa would make it an adventure. Building forts and spa dates will be truly missed.
He was proceeded in death by his parents Israel and Silvestra Olivarez and nephews Eloy Hernandez and Javi Hernandez.
Adrian is survived by his wife Leah Olivarez, children Adrian Olivarez (Enmi Silva), Asia Olivarez, and Aries Olivarez(Dylan Buxton) daughter-in-law Felicia Beltran and two beautiful granddaughters, Cattaleya Olivarez and Harmony Olivarez. Being the youngest of seven siblings he is survived by his brothers Eliazar “Alex” Olivarez (Maria), Ruben Olivarez(Mary Ellen), Samuel Olivarez, sisters, Irma DeRobles (Fortunato), Velva Herrera, Sandra Olivarez, and numerous nieces and nephews and cousins.
