Preston was born on August 4, 1990, in New Iberia, and was a 2008 graduate of H.L. Bourgeois High School, where he played football. He proudly served our country in the U.S. Coast Guard for seven years, having worked on helicopters. Preston was currently working as a truck driver, a job he truly loved.

 

A true diehard LSU Fan, Preston also enjoyed video gaming, having a cup of coffee, and a late-night bowl of cereal. More than anything, he loved and cherished his family. Always ready to give a really “big bear hug”, Preston was a loving husband, son, father, and brother.
