Adam FRENCH

Adam Matthew French was born in Reno, NV on January 10, 1988 to Stacy McLaughlin and Shawn French. He passed away in Lake Havasu City at his great grandmother, Yvonne Adie’s house on August 2, 2009. Adam was a great kid who had made a few mistakes and was taking responsibility for them. He felt that if he joined the military he would be able to turn things around.Adam was known to his family as Adman or Atom-Ant and his favorite color was orange (we can’t figure that one out). Adam was the light in our lives, always ready with a sweet smile and a goofy grin. He was an adventurer and we all loved his spirit.Adam is survived by his loving mother Stacy Pope and Mike Gariess; his father, Shawn French and his wife Kathy; sisters, Mercedes Hiott, Nicolette Hiott, Megan Toscano and her husband Gabriel, Nikki Godard, Lacey Lander and Sarah Hunter; brothers, PFC.
