Cleveland "Chris" Christopher Towns, 63, a native of Shreveport, and resident 
of Montegut, died at 6:05 p.m. Saturday, May 11, 2013.

Visitation will be from 6 to 9 p.m. Tuesday at Chauvin Funeral Home, and from 9 
a.m. until funeral time Wednesday at Sacred Heart Catholic Church. A Mass of 
Christian burial will be at 11 a.m. Wednesday at the church, 

with burial in the church cemetery.

He is survived by his wife, Laura Ann Browning, of Montegut; daughters, Crystal 
Towns Allred and husband. J.R., of Athens, Ga., and Kelly Towns, of Alexandria, 
Va.; grandchildren, James Arthur, Benton Rosson, and Ava Josephine Allred; and 
brother, David Towns and wife, Janet, of Arabi.

He was preceded in death by his parents, Coleman "Red" Towns and Josephine 
"Billie" Rosson Towns.

He was a senior engineer and project manager for the U. S. Army Corps of 
Engineers and GSA Consulting Engineers. He was a parishioner of Sacred Heart 
Catholic Church.
Chris was an avid bird and star watcher, and an active member of the Louisiana 
Wild Fowl Carvers and Collectors Guild. He enjoyed hunting, fishing, and 
helping others. "He was never one to put himself first."

Chris's family is heart broken, but comforted with their memories of their time 
with him. He had a huge family that grew exponentially. Everyone he met and 
worked with became new family members.

He was loved by so many, it would be difficult to try to list everyone, but 
some very important people would include: Kendrick Green, Leah Chase, and the 
Rodrigue family.

Chauvin Funeral Home is in charge of arrangements.
