Chad Guidry Obituary

Chad Mathew Guidry, 23, died Saturday, June 24th, 2017. He was born in Stockbridge, GA and was a long time resident of Metairie, LA. He was preceded in death by his father, Kenneth Guidry; and grandparents, Merlin and Jackie Guidry and Wilson and Mary Fuselier. He is survived by his mother and step-father, Brenda Guidry and Marc Hoerner, sister and brother-in-law Taren and Gilbert Marcel, niece/Godchild Olivia Marcel, his step-brother, Marc Hoerner, Jr. and his fiance, Lauren Taylor. Chad was such a loving and caring son, brother, uncle and friend. He loved with all his heart and was always willing to help a friend in need, but his battle with addiction proved to be too strong and ultimately took his life way too soon. His infectious smile, kind eyes, and generous heart will be greatly missed by all who loved him. A memorial will be held at a later date.

Chad was a good friend, a kind person, and all around a great man. I hope your family can stay strong in this time of horrible hardship. I knew Chad for a long time, and I know that he would want everyone that is grieving his loss to find at least some comfort in knowing that he is no longer in pain, no longer fighting a battle that few come out of alive. We have an epidemic on our hands and we are losing too many beautiful souls to the awful disease that is addiction. I hope that losing so many great young men and women, like Chad, will open up the eyes of others that are in his situation and they can look to God or some higher power to find help before tragedy strikes. Always remember to hold your hugs a little longer, compliment friends and family as often as you can, and share your love whenever possible because you never know when it will be your last chance. I personally wish the best on every soul that was touched by this sweet young man. God is with you all, and you are all in my prayers.
