Kirk Comeaux (April 14th 2006)

It is with profound sadness that our family announces the death of our loved one, Kirk Peters Comeaux, who passed away on Friday, April 14, 2006 at his home, after a fierce battle against the effects of exposure to Agent Orange, when he courageously served his country in Vietnam. He was surrounded by his loving family and dear friends at the time of his death.

Funeral Services will be held Tuesday, April 18, 2006 at an 11:00 AM Mass of Christian Burial at St. Edmond Catholic Church in Lafayette, Louisiana. To honor his wishes, Kirk's final resting place will be in the Resthaven Memorial Gardens of Memory Cemetery in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, next to his father-in-law, Bill Dixon, Sr., who loved him as a son and whom he loved as a father.

Reverend Jerry Mesley of St. Edmond Catholic Church will conduct the Funeral Services. Con-Celebrant will be Reverend Gary Schexnayder, Pastor of St. Michael the Archangel Catholic Church of Crowley .

Kirk was the beloved and faithful husband of twenty nine years to his wife, Carolyn Dixon Comeaux; the adored father of Janaki Renee' and Katie Fadra-Marie. To mourn his passing, Kirk also leaves his mother, Macie Savoie-Price; four brothers and sisters-in-law, Pat and Linda Comeaux , Chris and Connie Comeaux, Martin and Paula Comeaux and Elroy Comeaux; one sister and brother-in-law, Amy and Allen Scott; his mother-in-law, Fadra Dixon and other survivors include numerous brothers and sisters-in-law, nieces, nephews and cousins.

Kirk was preceded in death by his father, Durphy Comeaux and father-in-law, Bill Dixon, Sr. and an infant brother, Danny Comeaux.

Born October 20, 1951, he was only 54 years old. He was a Lafayette business owner and decorated Vietnam Veteran. Kirk is one of the founding members of Lafayette Chapter of Vietnam Veterans of America (VVA#141) and was very influential in getting the Vietnam Veterans Memorial built in front of the New Orleans Superdome in the early 80's. He was in Vietnam with the 1st Cav Division from April 1970- November 1971 with the 2/20th Aerial Rocket Artillery (ARA) attached from the 525th Signal group. Kirk served in Vietnam, Katum, Bear Cat, Tay Ninh, Phouc Vinh, Nui Ba Din, Nui Ba Rai and Song Be.

While it is noteworthy that Kirk lived a short life, it is much more important to mention that he lived it fully with love, kindness, and compassion for others. A devoted family man, he will be lovingly remembered by them and a host of life long friends for his zest for life and unselfish acts of kindness. Kirk quietly gave financial support to a local children's home and the Carmelite Nuns and was always willing to help a friend or family member in need. Over the years, he also mentored troubled children and those in the Youth Challenge Program, whose lives will be forever changed by his willingness to share his love and concern for their well being.

Kirk will be sadly missed by his family and friends, who will find comfort in having had him in their lives. His Catholic faith gave him the certain knowledge that death is not the end of a life, but a place to wait happily, until you are reunited with your loved ones forever in the presence of God. We will miss your smile, your optimism, your never ending persistence, your funny e-mails but, most of all, we will miss you.

A Rosary will be prayed Monday at 7:00 PM in the Martin & Castille Funeral Home in Lafayette.

The family requests that visiting hours be observed Monday from 4:30 PM until 10:00 PM and Tuesday from 8:00 AM until time of services.
