Kerin P. Blanchard (a.k.a. Cowan & The Buff), a welder and life long resident of Pierre Part, La. passed away peacefully on March 6, 2023, at the age of 61 in Baton Rouge, La.
Kerin is preceded in death by his parents Nolan J. Blanchard Sr. and Rena D. Blanchard, and one sister Alice B. Hoffman (Gerald).
Kerin is survived by his only daughter Ashley White and only grandson Brycen Solete, his siblings Nolan Blanchard Jr., Wayne Blanchard (Angela), Melissa Mallet (Hardy), Rena Nickens (Joey) and Bruce Guillot (Sharon). He leaves behind a multitude of nieces and nephews, and great nieces and nephews.
The family would like to express our gratitude to a special niece Sharee Holden (Justin) who took wonderful care of Kerin for the past two years in their home in Gonzales, La.
Kerin loved hunting, fishing and crawfishing; he loved living life on the edge and was usually the life of any party. He especially loved to sit with the younger children to tell tall tales that had them amazed. His imagination was endless.
At Kerin’s request no service will be held. Kerin will forever live in the hearts of his family who loves him and will greatly miss him.
So sorry for y’all loss. He was a character for sure. Been knowing him since 1st grade. The class clown always had us laughing…wouldn’t see him often after school but when I did he was the same fun caring person. He gave me the name slow Polk Shelly in 2nd grade and it stuck between us. Will cherish the memories of T-Kerin always! I’m sure him Warren and Sherify are cutting up…may you rest in Peace T-Kerin!
