Kenneth Paul Naquin, 64, a native of Pointe-aux-Chenes, La., and resident of Highland Village, Texas, died Thursday, Jan. 13, 2011 from massive heart failure.


Mr. Naquin was a 1969 graduate of Louisiana State University, his blood ran purple and gold, and he was proud of his Cajun heritage. He worked as a petroleum engineer for 41 years and was a member of the Society of Petroleum Engineers and the American Association of Drilling Engineers. He was an avid hunter, golfer and dog lover. He was a devoted and loving husband, father, brother, and friend. He will be truly missed by all who knew him.


He is survived by his wife, Diane Elizabeth Naquin; daughters, Reneé (Randall) Cousins and Denise Naquin; sisters, Sandra (Bruce) Pellegrin, Myra (Bobby) Duthu, Donna Kuhn, Eileen (Lester) LeBoeuf and Allyson (Lance) Nix; and several nieces and nephews.

He was preceded in death by his parents, Paul and Alice Marie Neil Naquin; paternal grandparents, Sidney Naquin and Agnes Levron Naquin Rodrigue; and his maternal grandparents, James and Marie Neil.

Friends who wish may donate in memory of Ken to the LSU Foundation for the benefit of the Craft & Hawkins Dept. of Petroleum Engineering (lsufoundation.org) or the Labrador Retriever Rescue of North Texas (labrescuenorthtexas.org).
