Martin E. Regan Jr.

Attorney Martin E. Regan, Jr., passed away peacefully on Thursday, February 17, 2022, following a stroke at the age of 73. He is preceded in death by his parents Martin E. Regan, Sr., and M. Martha McIntosh, his sons Bryan and Gavin, brother Michael and his first wife, Victoria. Martin is survived by his wife Lilliam, his beloved children Amy (John) and Mickey (Sarah), his stepchildren Lilliam (Luis), Ramon and Christina, his brother John (Joyce), sister-in-law Darlene and his grandchildren Owen, Jack, Atticus, Michael, William and Charlotte, nephews Michael and Matthew, nieces Tyra, Erin and Melissa, grandnephew Tyler, his cousins Jon, Richard and Paul. Martin had countless friends and clients who recognized his greatness. Martin lived by the simple words he often used: do the right thing and do right by others. Martin was a respected and zealous advocate for his clients. He never, ever shied away from zealously representing his client's rights. Martin is a graduate of University of Southwest Louisiana and Louisiana State University Law School. He was a practicing attorney for over 50 years after serving as a proud officer in the United Air Force JAG (Judge Advocate General) stationed at Lakenheath Air Force Base in England. Martin always credited his military career as the foundation for his dedication to honorably stand and his fierce loyalty to a cause. His international law practice was a constant source of pride for Martin; it took him from international courts of law and to the United States Supreme Court. Countless associates have loved him and have learned the subtleties of the law from him. His emblematic dark suit, white shirt and quiet tie is still carried by many. Martin will be missed by his beloved family, his friends, clients and the staff of Regan Law P.L.C. The world is a little less vibrant today after having lost a man whose light was a force of nature. We are consoled by the knowledge that today he hugs and sails with his sons Bryan and Gavin. May his indomitable spirit continue to shine upon the legal profession. The Louisiana Bar Association is less rich without him. The Regan family wishes to thank Stephen Kantrow, MD for his endless support and care not only of Martin but of his sons as well. We thank Guardian Angel Hospice, who are true angels indeed, Richard Zweifler, MD, Laura Kahn, MD, James Rini, MD and the entire Ochsner Neurology Department. Martin was a good and decent man who never missed an opportunity to live full speed ahead. Goodbye Martin and Godspeed.
