William Joseph Chauvin, Jr.

William Joseph Chauvin, Jr. passed away on Saturday, August 27, 2022 at the age of 96. He was a native of Union, LA, a resident of LaPlace, LA and a U.S. Army Veteran having served his country during World War II. He is our “favorite daddy” and the best Paw Paw ever. He loved camping and fishing, but most of all spending time with his family. Our New Year’s Christmas will never be the same. His thoughtful gifts and notes with instructions are treasures beyond compare. Although he left his earthly home surrounded by his loving family, we have faith that he has been welcomed into God’s kingdom. Dad is now with his loved ones who have gone before him, especially Dot, his beloved wife of 47 years. Daddy, we pray that you “find that gold” and there are many beautiful mountains and streams for you both to enjoy. Our family is still growing, and mama and daddy will forever be our angels watching over all of us. Until we can be together again, live like dad and “go with the flow” All our love, sons number 1, 2 and 3, your little girl, grandchildren and great-grandchildren.Beloved husband of the late Dorothy “Dot” Clouatre Chauvin.
