Chad Joseph Duplantis

Chad was a devoted husband, father, son, and brother, whose warmth and generosity left a lasting impact on everyone he met. His quick wit and unique way with words made him unforgettable, and he had an incredible ability to light up any room he walked into. Whether sharing stories with friends or strangers, Chad’s natural charm and engaging personality made people feel welcome and valued. As a hard worker, he was the steadfast provider for his family, always ensuring they had everything they needed. Yet, he knew the importance of taking time to enjoy life’s simple pleasures whether out on his boat, at his camp, or quietly reflecting in his deer stand. Chad was a true outdoorsman, who also found great joy in his love for football, especially his LSU Tigers and the New Orleans Saints. Above all, he had an unshakable love for his furbabies, who were cherished members of his family. Chad’s legacy will live on in the countless memories he created with his loved ones, and in the laughter and warmth that will forever be associated with his name.

Chad was born to C.J.
