Alfred Adams Obituary

Alfred Thomas Adams, Jr., entered into eternal rest on February 5, 2015. A native of New Orleans, Alfred was born on August 23, 1960 at Charity Hospital. Known by many as "Doc," or "Lil Al," Alfred passed away in his New Orleans home surrounded by family after a courageous three year battle with stage four brain cancer. Alfred was the oldest of four children born from the union of Alfred T. Adams, Sr. and Joan Irene Adams. He is also the oldest brother of a child born from the union of Alfred Adams Sr. and Lorraine Adams. He was a loving husband to Fransetta Adams, and a devoted father to Alexis, Makayla, and Christian Adams. Alfred will be missed and always honored by his four siblings Thelonious Adams, Tonyalea Adams Elam, Belinda Adams Ramie, and Joshua Adams. Alfred touched the lives of many people with his friendly nature, generosity, and contagious smile. Despite the medical challenges he faced, Alfred managed to maintain his trademark sense of humor all the way to his eternal home. Friends and family are invited to attend a Memorial Service on Wednesday, February 11, 2015, at 11:00 A.M. at Beacon Light International Cathedral, 1937 Mirabeau Ave., New Orleans, LA70122. Visitation will begin at 10:00 A.M. Bishop Daryl Brister, officiating. Interment will follow at Green Street Cemetery, NOLA.
