Curtis Lee Trahan, 77, passed away peacefully on September 19, 2024, surrounded by his
loving family and friends. His visitation will be Saturday, September 21, from 10am-1pm at
Heritage Funeral Home. Funeral services will be Saturday, September 21, at 1:00pm, at
Heritage Funeral Home. Interment will be in Johnson Bayou. Rev. Jack Gandy will officiate.
Born October 3, 1946, in Port Arthur, TX and raised in the marshes of Johnson Bayou,
Louisiana. Curtis was a dedicated family man who had a passion for everything outdoors. He
has had many careers over his years from a fur trapper, alligator hunter, sportsman guide,
commercial fisherman, oilfield, watermelon farmer, and carpenter, until retiring to the piney
woods of Reeves, LA.
He spent countless hours hunting, trapping, and fishing, and he took great pride in teaching his
children and grandchildren these skills. His hunting stories were legendary, often shared over a
cup of coffee or three. His life was often scheduled around which season was in. Curtis never
met a stranger. He never failed to ask you "has anyone told you they love you today?" and no
matter what your response, he would still tell you just how much he loved you.
Left to cherish his memories are his devoted, loving wife, Loretta; 7 children, Angela Trahan,
Troy Trahan (Heather), Eric Trahan (Jefra), Don Trahan (April), Carl Trahan (Lauren), Owen
Trahan, Laura Wright (Steve); 19 grandchildren, 14 great grandchildren, 1 great-great
grandchild, numerous nieces, nephews, a large circle of friends, and his loyal sister in law and
caretaker, Brenda Ashworth.
He is preceded in death by his parents, Uriah and Hattie Trahan; a son, Ethan Trahan; a great
grandchild Callie Mearse; four brothers, Willie Trahan, Aaron Trahan, Alvin Trahan, and
Warren Trahan; and five sisters, Sadie Mae Trahan, Gladys Ennis, Nathalie Hebert, Lillie Mae
Ducote, and Shirley Simon.
