Michael Erby Aucoin III

Erby Michael Aucoin, III passed away after a brief battle with cancer surrounded by his family on Wednesday, February 25, 2015 at the age of 60. Erby was an extraordinary man who traveled the world during his nearly 30 years in the oil and gas industry. He was currently employed as maintenance supervisor at the Victorian Condominiums. A position he sincerely coined as the perfect retirement job. The joy in his life were his friends and his favorite hobbies included playing guitar, singing, playing pool and golf.

Aucoin (wife Janis) and Douglas L. Aucoin (wife Angela). He was preceded in death by his father Erby M. Aucoin, Jr. He also leaves behind a host of nieces, nephews, aunts, uncles and cousins, chosen son Chris Theard and his daughter Hailey, a plethora of friends he lovingly referred to as his second family. The family would like to thank Dr. Matrana, Dr. Hawkins, Dr. Satti, Dr. Breaux as well as the 8th floor Oncology nurses at Ochsner Medical Center.
