Misc. Notes
Dr. Adrian B. Cairns was delivered to our Lord on June 5, 2017.
He died peacefully surrounded by family after a brief illness at St. Tammany Parish Hospital. He is survived by his wife Cheryl (Cher) Ann Bourgeois Cairns, sons Adrian Bennett Cairns III, Roy William Cairns (Diana Cairns), Joseph Edward Cairns (Karly Rae Cairns), grandchildren Casey Murray, Catherine Redfield Cairns, Kristina Jean Cairns, Bella Ida Cairns, Sarah Elizabeth Cairns, and Kameron Joseph Cairns and great-grand daughter Olivia Murray. He is also survived by his brother Thomas Edward Cairns and his sister Mary Sue Cairns Lanaux. He is preceded in death by his parents Dr. Adrian Bennett Cairns Sr. and Mary Adeline Davis Cairns; his first wife, the mother of his children, Jean Wiggins Cairns; and his brother Robert Frederick Cairns.
A lifelong servant to family, medicine, community and philanthropy; his numerous contributions strengthened St. Tammany Parish at its core, leaving each of us with a stronger, more fortified place to live, work and thrive. His servant leadership and tireless generosity to those in need, will forever remain his legacy. His affinity for selflessness will go unparalleled. Adrian Cairns greatness was obvious, difficult to articulate and nearly impossible to eulogize. He had an amazing capacity for learning, service and friendship. Friends became patients & patients became friends. He was a neighbor who when necessary became the tireless good Samaritan for the community. The days ahead will be filled with Adrian's stories. Memories not only for his good work, but also for his enthusiasm. Everything looked better under the light of his caring warmth. Our recollections of his joy and care offer one way to fill the towering void he leaves behind. Another way to honor Adrian is to take care of each other…
A service of Celebration of Life will occur on Saturday, June 10, 2017 at E.J. Fielding Funeral Home, 2260 West 21st Street Avenue, Covington, Louisiana 70433. Visitation will be from 12:00-2:00, with the service ensuing immediately thereafter. An opportunity for words of witness for all will be provided to share cherished moments of our lives with Adrian.
