Adam Yeadon

Adam Blake Yeadon was born on August 30, 1997, in Fort Nelson BC to Barbara Bertrand and Jack Yeadon. Adam is the fourth of five children.

Adam was raised in Fort Liard where he lived most of his life. He went to live in Bella Coola for a couple of years with his dad and brother Jackson, but his heart was calling him home and came back to live with Donna and Norman.

He was described as a lovable and happy child, who grew into a generous young man with drive and enthusiasm. He was always smiling, hardworking and loved using the chainsaw. It was a prized possession.

Adam was most happy when he was on the land. He was never afraid to be alone in the bush. It's where he felt happy, safe, and connected.

He was a determined individual. At the age of 17, he decided he wanted to be a firefighter. So, he hopped in a plane to Fort Simpson, where the instructor took one good look at him, asked his age and sadly he was on the next plane back home. That didn't stop him, the following year he was prepared and ready. He would begin his passion as a Wildland Firefighter. He loved his EFF Family immensely and took his job seriously. He was proud to be a part of the EFF community.

Keanna came into his life on February 21, 2020, his dad's birthday. She remembers going for a walk that day and Adam stopped her for a chat. The following year they both welcomed their most beautiful baby girl Hayze. He was such a loving father and very protective of his family. 

Adam is so loved by his family and friends; he loved his people.

He is predeceased by his loving mother Barbara who passed away in 2006.

He will be greatly remembered by his father Jack, brothers Carl and Jackson, sisters Crystal and Donna, his girlfriend Keanna and daughter Hayze, his extended family, friends, and the Firefighter Family as well as the community of Fort Liard.
