Landis Paul Poirrier Sr.

Landis Paul Poirrier Sr. passed away on December 17, 2025, at the age of 80. He was a lifelong resident of Ascension Parish and a proud graduate of Gonzales High School (Class of '63) and Baton Rouge Vocational and Technical School. Landis also served in the National Guard. He was a member of Seniors and Law Enforcement Together (“SALT”) and a devoted parishioner of St. Mark Catholic Church.

He leaves behind his wife, Veronica Watson Poirrier; their children, Rafe Poirrier (Elizabeth O’Neal), Paul Poirrier (Alice Townsend), and Janet Hattier (C.J. Hattier); 9 grandchildren, Sanders Poirrier, Ava Lynn Poirrier, Michael Poirrier, Katherine Townsend (Brock Hay), Alfonso Rodriguez (Alexx LeBlanc), Veronica Hattier, Caleb Hattier, Olivia Hattier and Julia Hattier and 3 great-grandchildren, Wallace Hay, Corrina Hay and James Rodriguez. He is also survived by his sisters-in-law, Katherine Watson Groft (David Groft) and Ionne Evans Poirrier, and his brothers-in-law, Moran Bergeron Watson, Jr. (Judy Ficklin) and Floyd Ducote, and numerous family members and friends. He was preceded in death by his parents, Ina Villar Poirrier and Dewey Poirrier, and his siblings, John Lionel Poirrier, Lucille Poirrier Ducote, and Helen Poirrier Templet (Lucian Templet).

Landis loved spending time with family and friends. He and his wife traveled all over the world, but some of his favorite trips were those with his children and grandchildren. He always enjoyed tending to his garden and spending time outside, enjoying the beautiful day. He will be greatly missed by all of those who knew and loved him.

Special thanks to the nurses and staff of Holly Court Assisted Living and Audubon Hospice for their care and compassion at the end of Landis’ time with us.
