A native and resident of Loreauville, “Suire” as he was affectionately known, passed away on Tuesday, May 4, 2021, at his home surrounded by his family. Eric enjoyed tending to his vegetable garden and unwinding on his back patio, listening to Classic Country Saturday Night.  He was enormously proud of his home and family.  With Eric there was never a dull moment, he was outgoing, outspoken, and never met a stranger. Eric had a big heart. He was a generous husband, devoted father, loving son, and brother and he will be dearly missed.

He is survived by his wife of over 20 years, Suzanne Mouton Suire of Loreauville; mother, Betty Breaux Suire of New Iberia; children, Ross Durke and Fiancée Madison Trahan of New Iberia, Alyssa Bodin and husband Warren of New Iberia; Noah Suire of Loreauville; one grandson, Wesley Bodin of New Iberia; one sister, Julie Suire of Loreauville; god-mother, Carolyn Walet of Loreauville; and mother-in-law, Ethel Barras Mouton of Abbeville.

He was preceded in death by his father, Freddie Suire; sister, Betina Suire; god-father, Pliny Walet; and father-in-law, William Harold Mouton.

Honored to serve as Pallbearers are Ross Durke, Warren Bodin, Kaleb Albert, Aaron Breaux, Ricky “Rico” Albert, Austin Mouton, Shane Walet, and Kent “Tup” Bonin. The honorary Pallbearer will be Noah Suire.
