Christian David Freeman passed away at University Medical Center in New Orleans, LA on June 25, 2020 at the age of 35. He was preceded in death by his mother Ginger Adams Freeman, father David Ray Freeman, grandfather Carlton Ray Freeman, grandmother Shirley Helmer Adams and aunt Bonnie Adams Walker. Christian was a loving father to Ryder D. Freeman and brother to Jesse P. Freeman and Chantelle E. Freeman. Christian will be greatly missed by his grandmother Rhudean C. Freeman; uncles Shannon L. Freeman, Robert J. Chopin, Paul H. Adams III and C. Michael Walker; aunts Donette J. Freeman and Antoinette Freeman Chopin; and many cousins including Ashley Chopin LaBarre, Fraisse B. LaBarre, Jr., Brittany Freeman Chelette, Craig J. Chelette, Brendan A. Freeman, Kyle J. Chopin, Grant J. Chopin, Emily C. Kimball, Charlie D. Chelette, Chloe S. Chelette and Katelynn R. LaBarre. Christian was a compassionate soul who adored his son Ryder beyond words. Although Christian’s life was a challenge at times, we believe that God does not despise the broken and nor should we. Rather, we are to imitate the One who came to seek and to save the lost as we all once were, no matter what type of bonds enslave and cripple them. We will remember Christian for who he was—a loving son, brother, father, nephew, cousin and friend. But most of all, we will remember Christian as a child of God. Someone who is eternally loved, adored and missed. Due to COVID-19, there will be a closed family visitation Thursday, July 2, at Leitz Eagan Funeral Home in Metairie, LA, followed by a private memorial service at 3 p.m. Extended guests may view the service via live stream at https://www.facebook.com/sfreeman1215. A college fund has been created for Ryder in Christian’s memory. Donations can be made at https://www.gofundme.com/f/christian-freeman in lieu of flowers.
