Chris "Shawee" James Falgout, 72, a resident of DuLarge, passed away peacefully surrounded by family at 10:45 PM Monday, December 29, 2025.

Visitation will be held on Friday, January 2, 2026, from 9:00AM-11:00AM with services following at Chauvin Funeral Home at 11:00AM.

He is survived by his loving wife of 50 years: Linda LeBoeuf Falgout; loving daughters: Christa Falgout and Holly Falgout Desmore & husband, Alan Desmore; his loving grandchildren whom he was beyond proud of: Caroline Fields, Saylor Avara, Ramsey Avara & fiancée Jamie Pritchett, Allison Desmore, Claire Desmore, Mersadie Desmore, and Ashley Desmore Smith & husband, Jonathan Smith. His great grandchildren: Braxton Avara, Cole, Charlee, Marleigh, and Jackson; sister: Theresa "DeeDee" Fischer and husband Mark.

He was preceded in death by his parents, Clarence Falgout Jr. and Irene Chaisson Falgout.

Chris, our pappy, is the glue that held our family together. He was a friend to every person he met and always came with a story to tell. He will be deeply missed by all who knew him and especially those who love him. He is now in a place of peace with no suffering. He spent his days doing what he loved: hunting, fishing, woodwork and building pirogues to give to his loved ones. Chris was an honorable man who took pride in his work, but more importantly the family he built.

We love you, "Shawee." Until we see you again.
