Christopher Twain Veazey

Abbeville - Memorial Services will be held at a later date for Christopher Twain Veazey, 71, who passed away on Wednesday, January 4, 2023.

Christopher Veazey was a resident of Abbeville, La, but lived most of his life on Pecan Island. He was a commercial fisherman and spent most of his earlier years earning a living fishing and shrimping. He served in the National Guard and spent some time at McNeese University aspiring to be a chemistry teacher. He resorted back to life on the water where he appreciated the outdoors. He enjoyed hunting and fishing and time spent visiting with family and friends. He was known to many as “Uncle Chris,” because he had a way of making people smile and feel better when they were around him. His motto was, “Don’t worry, be happy.”

He is survived by his wife, Paula Veazey; a son Marshall Ryan Veazey of Pecan Island, La; two daughters: Abigail Veazey Crochet of Bell City, La and Samantha Veazey Lofton of Olla, La; one step-daughter Naomi Lopez of Abbeville, La; seven grandchildren (Everett, Westin, Ava, Sophie, Ezryn, Madison, Hunter); two brothers: Joel Veazey and Donnie Veazey; four sisters: Suzette Broussard, Karan Abshire, Tammy Johnston and Kathy Frith.

He was preceded in death by his parents, Joseph Marshall and Gloria Veazey; a brother Mitchell Veazey; and a granddaughter Allison Rae Broussard.
