Peyton Marshal Plunkett

Peyton was a 7th generation Caddo Parish Pioneer. The family has been here since the 1800s. Peyton was a recent graduate of Parkway High School and currently attending Northwest Louisiana Technical Community College for instrumentation. He would walk into a room and always had that mischievous grin on his face and a story to tell about his latest conquest. Always the life of the party. Peyton was confident with who he was and cherished all of his friends and family. Peyton was an incredible wrestler during his years at Parkway. He won several tournaments and placed 5th in State his senior year. Everyone loved to watch him on the mat. Fishing was his greatest love. Being on the water was his happy place. He would fish in a mud puddle knowing he would catch something. He loved being with his buddies. You never knew who he would show up with. Peyton enjoyed sharing his passions with others. He was a mentor and friend to his siblings and was fiercely loyal to all those he loved. Peyton was a gift to all those who knew him and was taken from us way too soon. We will cherish the great memories and will keep him in our hearts forever. He is now our guardian angel.
