Fulton J. "Rocky" Olivier, Jr.

A mass of Christian burial will be held at 2 pm on Thursday, December 30 at Sacred Heart Catholic Church in Broussard for Fulton Joseph “Rocky” Olivier, Jr., who died at his home on Tuesday, December 28. Fr. Louie Richard, Pastor of St. Mary Magdalene Church will be the celebrant of the mass and will conduct the funeral services. Burial will take place in Lafayette Memorial Park. Rocky was born in Lafayette but grew up in New Orleans where he graduated from East Jefferson High School, Class of 1966. He graduated from USL and was a member of Phi Kappa Theta fraternity. Many of his PKT brothers became lifelong friends with whom he enjoyed many good times on the golf course, at the card table, on the phone, and at the camp. Rocky spent his professional career in oilfield services at OSCA, IMCO, and MI Drilling Fluids. Rocky’s favorite pastime was coaching his daughters and grandchildren in all sports, but especially softball. Coach Rocky coached many aspiring softball stars on the Rockettes, MI Midgets, the Drillers, and Cajun Express. He was inducted into the Louisiana USSSA Hall of Fame in 2007. He was truly the “Rock” of his family. He is survived by his loving wife of 45 years (though he would say he was married all his life), Charlene Hebert Olivier; four daughters, Melanie Lauer (Vincent), Catherine, Terri, and Lauren; grandchildren, Kate, Vinny, and Ali Lauer, Logan Storms, and Emily Owen; one sister, Karen Guiberteau of Katy, TX; brother, Evans Olivier of Ozark, Ala., and very special aunt, Pat Higgins of Fort Worth, TX. He is preceded in death by his parents Joyce and Fulton Olivier, Sr. and one brother, Mike Olivier. Rocky was much loved and admired by his family, extended family, acquaintances, and many friends. His four daughters were his pride and joy. He most aspired to be a loving husband and supportive father. Rocky lived a good life and was a faithful servant. The family requests that visiting hours be observed at David’s Funeral Home, 316 Youngsville Hwy, beginning at 10 am. A rosary will be prayed at 1pm on Thursday afternoon at the funeral home. Mass will follow at Sacred Heart at 2:00. Condolences may be sent to the Olivier family at www.davidfuneralhome.org David Funeral Home 316 Youngsville Hwy 337-837-9887 is in charge of arrangements.
