Constable Adrian Stacey Gulay

In Loving Memory of

Cst. Adrian Stacey Gulay

1967 - 2013

Adrian Stacey Gulay age 45 years, of Winnipeg, Manitoba, passed away on Tuesday, August 20, 2013, at Winnipeg.

Adrian was born on November 13, 1967 in Winnipeg. He graduated from Miles MacDonnell Collegiate in 1986. As a teenager, Adrian was very involved with his sports especially basketball, and bodybuilding. He continued on at Red River Community College to take criminology courses. Adrian worked as a bartender and bouncer at several locations for a few years. His career started at the Marymound Youth Centre guiding troubled teens for many years and continued with his specialized training with the D.A.R.E program.

Adrian always dreamed of being an officer of the law from a very young age.  His dream was fulfilled after determination and a lot of hard work when he became a Royal Canadian Mounted Police Officer in March 2003.

With his passion for fishing and the beauty of the countryside, he quickly settled down and made Roblin his home for the last 10 years.  Adrian was re-posted last spring to the Amaranth, Manitoba Detachment where he would reside part time while on duty and go home for his days off.  He loved spending time with his dogs Blue and Skully and other animals, listening to loud music and enjoying movies on his big screen T.V.  Tropical vacations were at the top of his list and he was fortunate to enjoy many trips over the last few years, last one being a trip to Belize with his brother Roger and going deep sea fishing and having the time of their lives.

Adrian was a big man, but bigger than the man was his heart.  His generosity and compassion along with his fairness, and understanding for people has earned him love and respect from his family, friends and his community.

Words cannot express the loss we feel for you Adrian, all we can do is honour your memory and live life day to day and not take it for granted. We miss you Adrian and pray you are in peace - GONE FISHING!
