Marshall King Trahan

Marshall Trahan passed away in the early morning hours of July 3, 2025, with his family by his side. He was 59. 

If you knew Marshall, you knew he took pride in the simplest things: a well-trimmed lawn, a perfectly seasoned brisket, quiet fishing, and the time spent with those he loved most. He was steady, thoughtful, and full of quiet wisdom, often delivered with a dry wit and a gentle smile. 

Marshall graduated from Abbeville High School in 1984 and spent twenty-nine years working for Albertsons, where his reliability and work ethic earned him respect and lasting friendships. Outside of work, he was a dedicated Rotarian who believed in service, generosity, and showing up for others, not for praise, but because it was the right thing to do. 

He is survived by his wife, Pamela Chauvin Trahan, who was his rock and his partner in life, and by his three daughters, who were his pride and joy: Maggie Lackie and her husband Matt, Mallory Trahan and her partner Mallory Gaspard, and their son Karter Abshire, and Morgan Trahan and her fiancé Carlos Marquez and Nina Allain who he loved like a daughter. His greatest delight in recent years came from his grandchildren, Finley, Van, and Ellis Lackie, who knew him as the fun, loving Paw Paw with the best hugs and had the best adventures on his side-by-side.

Marshall is also survived by his brother, Tim Trahan and wife Tessie and nephews Kerry and Logan Trahan, as well as, extended family who meant the world to him. 

He is preceded in death by his parents, Hellen and Larry Trahan, and brothers, John Boyett and Scott Trahan. 

A memorial service will be held at Vincent's Funeral Home on Tuesday, July 8th, 2025 from 9:00 am - 1:00 pm to celebrate his life.
