The family of
Harry Franklin Adams Jr has invited the Patriot Guard Riders to attend the Military Honors of their loved one as he makes his final journey. It will be our honor to do so.
Harry was born on January 21, 1948 and entered Eternal Rest on July 8, 2017. Harry passed due to Combat Related PTSD. May he Rest in Peace.
Harry served his country honorably in the US Marine Corp. from July 20, 1966 to July 19, 1972. He spent time in Okinawa and was in Vietnam during the Tet Offensive. He started as a mechanic and rose to the rank of sergeant. In his later years he suffered from PTSD that was brought on from his experiences in Vietnam. Despite this, he was always proud that he was able to serve his country and was a strong proponent of the Marine Corps to the end.
Harry is survived by Daughter Jessica, Son Matthew, Grandson Tristan, Granddaughter Abigal, Son in Law Benjamin, Daughter in Law Sarah and Ex-Wife Laurie.
In Civilian life Harry loved cars and motorcycles.
