On the day we celebrate the birth of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, our beloved Elvis transitioned peacefully at his home on Christmas morning. He was 63 years old.
He grew up in Plaquemines Parish and moved to Orleans Parish with his parents as a teenager. Elvis graduated in the L. B. Landry High School class of 1976 and earned a Bachelor’s degree from Our Lady of Holy Cross College in 1982, both in Algiers, LA. Elvis worked as a Deputy Sheriff for several years with the Orleans Parish Sheriff’s Office. He took an early retirement from law enforcement and entered the Air Force Reserves and later worked with Volunteers of America.
Elvis accepted Christ in 1983 and was baptized at Second Highway Baptist Church in Marrero, LA by the late Rev. Royal Jackson. He was a member at Franklin Avenue Baptist Church. Elvis spent the last 15 years of his life calling Colfax home. He found love in the small town and never even considered returning to the Big Easy.
