A native of Weeks Island and a resident of New Iberia, Walter Reed Freeman, the purest and most gentle soul, passed away peacefully on May 23, 2020 at the age of 73.
A Mass of Christian Burial was held at Nativity of Our Lady Catholic Church, with internment following at the church mausoleum, where Reed joined his first love, Dana, in eternal peace. The graveside services included Military Honors rendered by Fort Polk and the Louisiana Army National Guard.
Mr. Freeman proudly served his country in the Louisiana Army National Guard and retired as First Sergeant with 24 years of service. He was employed by Morton Salt where he dedicated 40 years to his career. Mr. Freeman demonstrated servant leadership by donating his time to the Lydia Cancer Association. He was also a member of the VFW, American Legion, and Dauterive Hospital Auxiliary.
Mr. Freeman was a proud father that supported his kids and grandkids in their passion for academics, music, and sports. He was a great cook who loved to watch Emeril. He enjoyed wood working as a hobby to pass the time. He was a diehard Dallas Cowboy’s fan and always stayed true to his team until the end.
Reed never met a person who walked away a stranger because to know Reed was to love him. He leaves many who will grieve him but know now he is in peace. May the perpetual light shine upon him.
Those left to cherish his memory are his second wife, Sandra Decoux Freeman, two sons, one daughter, four grandchildren, one sister, one brother, and many dear friends and relatives.
He was preceded in death by his parents, Walter J. Freeman and Lela Guilbeau Freeman; his sweet loving wife of 40 years, Dana Donovan Freeman; a brother, Patrick W. Freeman; and sister, Lorraine F. Broussard; and a dear friend, Linda Freyou.
