Adrien D. Alstad
March 16, 1949 — August 23, 2004
Adrien Denley Alstad was born March 16, 1949, in Fargo, ND, to Oscar and Lorraine (Quinnell) Alstad. Adrien was raised in Moorhead, MN, where he graduated from high school. Adrien went on to study English and History at Carleton College, Northfield, MN, and received a master's degree from Northwestern University, Evanston, IL.
Adrien went on to work for the Foreign Service of the US State Department, which took him to Zaire, Africa. Because of his love for history and travel, Adrien decided to become a waiter, which allowed him more time to pursue those interests.
Adrien worked as a waiter in Minneapolis, MN, San Francisco, CA, and Australia, before moving to Washington, DC, in the early 1990's. He continued to enjoy travel to such places as India and China. At the time of his death, Adrien was working at Annie's Paramount Steak House in Washington, DC.
Adrien was on his way home from work on Monday, August 23, 2004, when he was shot by an unknown assailant and died one hour later at George Washington University Hospital. He was fifty-five years of age.
Adrien is survived by his close and longtime friend, Clay Nettles, Washington, DC; one sister, Lynnette (Hugh Dykes) Bock, Summerfield, FL; one brother, Armond (Ruth) Alstad, Indianapolis, IN; and several nieces, nephews, aunts and uncles. His parents preceded him in death.
A memorial service for Adrien will be Saturday, August 28, 2004, at 2 PM, in Korsmo Funeral Chapel, Moorhead.
