May 8, 2017 — I was 18 at UC Merced and Adolfo had just turned 19 at Sacramento State. My high school best guy friend, Johnny, added me to a Snapchat group called "Simps" with his friends Frank and Adolfo. Johnny also happened to be Adolfo's freshman roommate that year. I started sending random snaps and noticed Adolfo always showed only half his face. I swear I only ever saw one eyebrow. He never added me, so I had to add him. We chatted on and off that summer, and then in September, back at Merced for my second year, I was at a friend’s house making bacon-wrapped hot dogs when I got a snap from Adolfo: "bout to come through." From that moment on, he became a constant in my life and honestly, I can’t imagine a day without him.
