Lester Adams

Lester J. Adams passed away on December 31, 2012. He was a devoted husband to Tammy Joseph Adams and the loving son of Lester J. Adams Jr. and Paulette Parquet. Lester was a proud father to his daughter Jasmine Drady and a caring stepfather to Boyd, Jerel, Jarvon, and Jarvis Joseph. He is remembered by his brother Darrick Adams, the late Tetherance Adams, and a wide circle of relatives and friends who admired his easy smile and gentle presence.

Friends and colleagues from his workplaces and community recall Lester as someone who genuinely cared for others and who brightened everyday moments with quiet warmth. In the days following his passing, family and friends gathered to celebrate his life at Boyd Family Funeral Home in New Orleans, where loved ones shared memories, comfort, and stories that reflected his steady character and the relationships he treasured.

Lester’s family invites those who knew him to continue honoring his memory through kindness, prayer, and the good works that mattered to him. Though taken too soon, his impact on his daughter, his spouse, and his extended family endures in the stories they share and the love that remains.

He was laid to rest following a homegoing service on January 7, 2013. Those who wish to remember Lester may do so by holding close the simple, everyday ways he showed care and by supporting one another in the spirit of his life.
