Published in The Advocate on 7/6/2008. 
Ryan Matthew Vezinot, 24, passed away in the early morning of Wednesday, July 
2, 2008, 8 1/2 months after being hit by a drunk driver as he and two friends 
were walking from the LSU-Auburn game in Baton Rouge on the night of Oct. 20, 
2007. Ryan was born Sept. 2, 1983, in Lake Charles. He attended Prien Lake 
Elementary School, S.J. Welsh Middle School and Barbe High School, finishing 
school in 2001. Ryan attended McNeese State University and Sowela Technical 
College.  As evidence of Ryan's kindness and selflessness, he chose to donate 
his organs to help others after his passing. Because of Ryan's tremendous 
gift, he was able to save the lives of or help the recovery of five fortunate 
people. We thank Debbie Lacassin with the Louisiana Organ Procurement Agency 
(LOPA) for her compassion and guidance through this process. Ryan fought 
bravely through his accident, his many surgeries, infections and related 
illnesses and was strong to the very end. Survived by his devoted mother, 
Julie Vezinot, of Baton Rouge; his granny, Barbara Dartez, and her husband, 
Pete, of Lake Charles; his paw paw, Robert Vezinot, of Lake Charles; his 
uncle, Nick Vezinot, of Hawaii; his aunt, Christine Vezinot, of Houston; his 
uncle and aunt, Matthew and Stacey Vezinot, of Lake Charles; cousins, Meagan 
and Molly Vezinot, of Lake Charles; and his beloved cats, Chloe, Soxey, 
Gracie, Simon and Sadie.  His funeral will be at the Johnson Funeral Home 
Chapel in Lake Charles on Sunday, July 6, at 3 p.m. Monsignor Charles Dubois 
will officiate. Burial will be in Consolata Cemetery. Visitation at the 
funeral home was on Saturday, July 5, from 5 p.m. to 9 p.m., with a Scripture 
service at 6:30 p.m. with the Rev. Keith Pellerin officiating. Visitation 
continues from on Sunday from 10 a.m. until time of service.
