Will is preceded in passing by his loving wife of sixty years, Beverly Ann Pellegrin Theriot; son, David P. Theriot; and parents, Joseph and Alice Gaudet Theriot.

Will, a larger than life individual, worked as a salesman in many industries over his lifetime. When not working, he enjoyed golfing and fishing with family and friends. He was proud of his hole-in-one and his First Place Tarpon Rodeo trophy. He also loved to listen to music and had a large and extensive collection of Jazz and Big Band music. He loved to entertain everyone with his amusing stories. Will was an aficionado of everything cars and planes. He had a keen sense of humor and a witty and sharp intellect.

Even though he never served in the military, Will was passionate about our military history and veterans. He was a founding member of the Regional Military Museum in Houma, where he served as President. The museum was his pride and joy. He greeted all with a warm and welcoming smile. He loved to give tours to visitors from all over the world, especially those allowing him to give tours in French.

He will be missed by all who knew him. Rest in peace, Will Theriot.

Chauvin Funeral Home is honored to serve the family of Wildrow "Will" Theriot.
