Autrey Lee Duhon was born on April 12, 1938 in Abbeville, where he was a lifelong resident. He was a devoted family man whose life was marked by love, laughter, and service. As an avid golfer and enthusiastic traveler with the Knights of Columbus, Autrey would always find himself amongst good company wherever he went. He was a faithful reader of the Daily Advertiser and never missed a crossword puzzle.
He proudly coached all three of his sons in baseball for many years, creating memories that still resonate with his children and many others that were on the team. Autrey also had a deep passion for family traditions: whether it was barbecuing in the backyard, enjoying supper club nights at El Camino’s, or researching genealogy. He was a natural caregiver; he lovingly supported his wife for many years with steadfast devotion. Most of all, Autrey cherished time with his family, especially his grandchildren, who were the light of his life. His legacy of warmth, strength, and storytelling will live on in all who knew him.
Autrey is survived by his loving wife of 64 years, Brenda Roy Duhon; his children, Darren Duhon (Annette), Kevin “Tiger” Duhon, and Greg Duhon (Christine); his grandchildren, Brock Huval, Jacob Duhon, Ross Duhon, Chase Duhon, Tyler Duhon, Nicholas Duhon, and Cameron Duhon; as well as his great-grandchildren, Jovi, River, Lenni, Townesend, Dahlia, Ari, Autrey, and Kalaya.
He was preceded in death by his parents, Aswell “Doc” Duhon and Edna Abshire Duhon; and his brothers, Jeffery Duhon, Leroy Duhon, and Robert Duhon.
The family would like to extend a special thank you to Dr. Vernon Valentino, Dr. Ronald Lahasky, and the entire staff of Hospice of Acadiana for the care and compassion they offered Autrey and his family in this difficult time.
Arrangements have been entrusted to Cypress Funeral Home & Crematory, 206 W. Lafayette St., Maurice, LA 70555.
