George Randall “Randy” Trelles, a native of Columbia, SC and a resident of Baton Rouge, LA, passed away on Monday, March 18, 2024 at the age of 61.  He graduated from Broadmoor High School, received his undergraduate degree at LSU and his J.D at Southern University.  He was a member of Sacred Heart of Jesus Catholic Church, Sigma Chi Fraternity, LSBA – Louisiana State Bar Association, and Louisiana Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers.  

He enjoyed running cross country, reading, sailing, hunting, fishing, roping, painting, and LSU sports.   Randy was a devoted father who enjoyed spending time coaching and supporting any activities his kids were involved in.

Randy was an all-around track star in high school and college.  While at LSU, he joined Sigma Chi Fraternity, where he made lifelong memories and friends.  He met his wife Melissa while still in college.  He then proposed to her at Fred’s Bar and Grill and went on to marry in 1992.   He loved helping people through his practice of law.  They spent 10 years traveling and enjoying life, and then decided to have two lovely children, Griffin and Molly.  Anyone who was a part of Randy’s life knows he will always be remembered for his love of Champ and Legs, seer sucker pants, and his love for fountain pens.
