Jeremy Adams Obituary

Jeremy Kendal Adams, a beloved barber who, beginning at the age of 9, cut hair in New Orleans for more than three decades, entered into eternal rest at the age of 42 on Wednesday, April 22, 2020. He is survived by his parents, Thaïs Adams Gay and John Adams, his sister Julie Kristen Adams, and his fiancée Kristie Powell. Also left to cherish his memory are his godmother Gaye Jackson, his godson Lawrence Patterson Jr., his stepfather Wayne Gay Sr., his stepmother Michelle Adams, his stepsister Jaismin Gipson, and his stepchildren Christian, Nicholas, Garrett, Star, and Warren. He was preceded in death by his maternal grandparents, Florence Edwards Borders and James B. Borders III, and his paternal grandparents, Eunice Breaux Adams and Gilbert Adams, his stepbrother Wayne Gay Jr., and godfather Michael Adams Sr. He will be sorely missed by a host of relatives including his aunts, uncles, and cousins, and by dozens of devoted friends and customers. He attended Our Lady of Lourdes Elementary School, St. Augustine High School, John F. Kennedy High School, and Southern University at New Orleans. Due to restrictions in place to slow the spread of COVID-19, a Private Memorial Service will take place with the family only on Friday, May 8, 2020.
