William was a loving husband, father, grandfather and friend and provider to many. There are no words to describe how amazing he was to family, friends and those who met him.
He owned South Lafourche Tool and Supply in Larose and was a former owner of Theriot’s Electric Service.
William was a very talented man. He was an avid gardner, woodworker, fisherman, hunter and golfer. He enjoyed trips to the casino and also to his home in Mississippi.
William’s biggest passion was cooking for his customers at work and for his family. He is a former Krewe of Terreanians member for 21 years and a former serviceman in the National Guard.
The Theriot family would like to express their gratitude to Dr. Pou, Dr. Adkins, Mell Schexnyder, Haydel Clinic – especially Dr. Dickie and Donald Paul Schwab, the staff and Doctors at Mary Bird Perkins and Haydel Hospice for their care and compassion, especially Patty Voss and Nathaniel.
The family would also like to thank Fr. Mark Toups for his caring Ministry to Bill and family.
