His passion for fishing was almost as great as his love for his family. His devotion to the ones he cared for will forever be unmatched. With a wealth of knowledge and experience, he was always willing to help anyone in need. As an all-star athlete in high school, an Army veteran, and a hard-working carpenter, anyone could attest to Joe’s dedication to a challenge. Leaving his first great-grandchild must have been one of the hardest decisions he ever had to make, but knowing he did his job as a loving husband, father and grandfather, he left with the comfort that his legacy will always be remembered and cherished. We will forever love and honor the memories you leave us with. Till we meet again, we love you to the moon and back.

Chauvin Funeral Home is honored to serve the family of Joseph Carlton Schouest Jr.
