Usa Louis (Lou) Landry, Jr.
ABBEVILLE — A celebration of life for Lou will take place at United Methodist Church of the Covenant in Lafayette on Saturday, August 28th at 1 p.m. Visitation will precede the service from 12-1 p.m., and a luncheon will follow the memorial in the CCC Building. (Church address: 300 East Martial Street in Lafayette)
Usa Louis (Lou) Landry, Jr. was born to Ida Katherine Sandoz Landry and the late Usa Louis Landry, Sr. on September 1, 1968. He went to his heavenly home on August 11, 2021 after a short illness surrounded by his loving family. Lou graduated from Jesuit High School, Shreveport, LA, in 1987 before moving to Erath and will forever be remembered for his infectious laugh and endearing, dimpled grin. He never met a stranger, was quiet but quick witted, and always first to offer a helping hand to anyone in need.
During his time on earth, Lou dedicated countless hours of service as a faithful servant to his church family. He was a supervisor at AAA Cooper Transportation and previously served as a deputy for five years with the Vermilion Parish Sheriff’s Office. In his spare time, Lou enjoyed coaching his daughter’s softball team, fishing, camping with his family, and tending to his chickens. He also enjoyed being in the kitchen, cooking and feeding his family well.
Left to cherish his memory are his wife of 16 years, Lynn, his children, Mckenzie, Katelyn, Lyndsey, Kristina, and Louis III (Trey), as well as his devoted mother, Ida Landry, and mother-in-law, Ardella Richeson. Lou was preceded in death by his father, Louis Sr., oldest brother, Carl, and father-in-law, Jerry Richeson. He is survived by three brothers, David (Cindy), Paul, and Charles, and two sisters, Chris (Bob) Horne and Beth Fitzgerald, several nieces, nephews, and countless friends. To all who knew him, Lou cherished his faith and family above all else and his spirit will live on in the hearts and minds of so many who were fortunate to have crossed his path.
The Landry family would like to express gratitude for the wonderful care and compassion given Lou by Our Lady of Lourdes Regional Medical Center. In lieu of flowers, please make monetary donations in Lou’s memory to Covenant United Methodist Church Youth Ministry. Many thanks to all who have supported the Landry family through this difficult time.
