Emmitt Freeman Mcadams

Born May 2, 1961- Celebrating home coming August 13, 2019. Known by either first or middle name, Freeman was a graduate of Baker High School. He volunteered in EBR schools, various nursing homes and always assisted people wherever he found a need. Even in death, he was able to donate his corneas for transplant and limbs to help cancer patients and those who need bone marrow. Freeman loved God, his family, his country and the New Orleans Saints. Freeman, you are loved by many and missed greatly, but you have now met Jesus and are living your favorite scripture Isaiah 40:31: “But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.” Freeman is survived by his wife of 35 years, Theresa Parker McAdams, his son Emmitt M., his mother Helen Duplessis Ford, his dad Emmitt D. and second mother Debra Verbois McAdams, siblings Wesley McAdams, Todd McAdams, Telly M.
