In Loving Memory of Murphy Cluse Sr.
Born January 30, 1962
Murphy Cluse Sr., also known as Swip, was a beloved husband, father, grandfather, brother, uncle and friend. He was born to Murphy and Agnes (cluse) Ledet and was raised with strong family values that he carried throughout his life.
Swip was married to the love of his life, Victoria (Williams) Cluse. Together, they built a beautiful family, raising two children, Twanica Cluse and Murphy Cluse Jr. Who was also known as Bolo. His greatest joys included spending time with his grandchildren - Laison Milson, Laylia, and Llana Cluse- who brought endless pride and happiness to his life.
Swip had a passion for the outdoors and found joy in hunting, betting on horses, and watching football, always surrounded by the family and friends he cherished.
He shared a special bond with his siblings Sherry Taylor (Craig), Sandra Ledet, Rachel Dugas (Gilbert), Brenda Augillard (Nolan), and Linda Broussard (Rudy).
He was preceded in death by his parents Murphy Ledet and Agnes (Cluse) Ledet, his loving son, MurphyCluse Jr. (Bolo), his dear brothers, Donald Ledet and Michael Ledet; and his loving mother-n-law, Yvonne Williams.
Swip's life was marked by deep love, laughter, and a spirit of resilience. He will be remembered for the strength of his character, his unwavering devotion to his family, and the warmth he shared with everyone he met. His memory will live on in the hearts of all who knew and loved him.
