He was 37. Born in Washington, D.C., and raised in Fredericksburg, Va., Colin moved to New Orleans in 1993 and quickly became the popular manager of Nick's Original Big Train Bar in Mid-City, where his charming intellect and calm wisdom presided over the 90-year-old institution's final decade as a favorite refuge for close-knit regulars from all over the city. A rock guitarist whose compositions were noted for their lyrical depth, Colin founded Motorway with several friends in 1999, playing their home venue at Carrollton Station, opening for numerous national acts at the House of Blues and performing at South by Southwest in 2000. Their self-titled second release "stated their case to be considered among the city's best guitar pop bands," wrote the Times-Picayune in 2002. Colin and his wife, Kelly Wilson, started their family after Hurricane Katrina with their two young children, Lucy and Elliot.

He was born on December 14, 2001 to the union of Derrick Brown and Monica Charise Brown. Derrion was nine years old. A ball of energy, Derrion was a happy, affectionate child who always had a smile to share and a hug to give. When anyone would tell Derrion that they loved him, he would often respond with I love you more. He was affectionately called DeDe by all who knew and loved him. DeDe was a fourth grade student at Woodmere Elementary School. He studied Taekwondo, ran track, played soccer and baseball. He also attended Grace Baptist Academy, where he graduated Kindergarten. He loved to play video games, play on the computer and watch television. His favorite shows included Avatar, Ben 10 and Bakugan. He also loved playing outside with his friends and neighbors. DeDe's smile was contagious. He was full of love and truly enjoyed life. Along with family and friends, he recently celebrated his father's birthday. He laughed and played all day long. At the end of the evening when asked if he enjoyed himself, DeDe gave a wide grin and declared that "it was the best time." Those of us who knew him well can imagine him looking down at us now. He would say that it is okay to grieve, but not too long. He would say that although he was only with us for a short while, he laughed and loved and played and he really did have the best time. He was preceded in death by his aunt Pauline Brown. To cherish his memories, DeDe leaves his parents: Derrick and Monica; his maternal grandparents: Donald and Ramona Bennett; his paternal grandparents: Willie K. Brown, Sr. and Margaret Brown; three sisters: Yorel Antoinette Brown, Kenishia McKee, and Monae Charaye Brown; five uncles: Willie K.

McLaughlin, a beloved and long-time street musician, passed away last week. Mr. McLaughlin was born near Ft. Meade Maryland on December 9, 1953. He played guitar and blues harmonica from Hawaii to Tennessee and of course, in his beloved New Orleans. During his time on earth, Mr. McLaughlin had the opportunity to play with some of the greats, including Little Freddy King, one of Mr. McLaughlin's heroes. "Mickey" or "Slewfoot", as Mr. McLaughlin was also known, played so hard and so often on his corner in the French Quarter that some say the pavement still holds his footprints. In remembering Mr. McLaughlin, Fr William Terry of St Anna's Episcopal Church said, "Slewfoot gave to the music community, not only of his heart, talent and blues sound but of his time, in work with the New Orleans Musicians' Clinic, Music Makers Relief Foundation and St. Anna's Mission to Musicians. He and long-time band member, Carey B, were one of the first groups to play St. Anna's Mission to Musicians". Bethany Bultman of the New Orleans Musicians' Clinic and Assistance Foundation said of Mr. McLaughlin, "Slewfoot was a very powerful spokesperson for the Clinic and we truly appreciated his efforts". On Wednesday April 27, 2011 a full solemn funeral mass will be held at St. Anna's Episcopal Church, 1313 Esplanade Ave., at 6:00 PM. Following the service, at approximately 7:15, the community will step off in a Second Line tribute led by the famed Tremé Brass Band. The procession will travel down Esplanade Avenue, turn on to Frenchmen Street and end with a Benediction in front of the Apple Barrel Lounge, where Mr. McLaughlin and Carey B often played. The community of musicians, artists, residents, and friends of Mark "Slewfoot" McLaughlin are invited to attend the Solemn High Gospel/Blues Mass, Second Line, and memorial gig at the Apple Barrel, where musicians are welcome to bring their instruments and join in the celebration of Mr. McLaughlin's life.

He was a graduate of Russellville High School, attended Arkansas Tech University and graduated from the University of Arkansas School of Law at Fayetteville in 1940. He married Mary Jane Jackson at Fayetteville on December 8, 1940. A man of many interests, he practiced law briefly, farmed for several years and spent the majority of his working years in the management field. A veteran of World War II, he served in the United States Navy, first as an Aviation Machinists Mate and later as a commissioned officer on ships in the American, European and Pacific theaters of war. He was a former mayor of Russellville, resigning to accept a position with the Bureau of Land Management, Department of the Interior. He transferred from Russell-ville to Washington, D.C. where he served on the Board of Hearings & Appeals. After a year he was transferred to Denver, Colorado where he served as the Colorado State Land Office Manager for the Bureau of Land Management. Within a year he was transferred to the Bureau's New Orleans Outer Continental Shelf office, where he began a 25 year career in the development of minerals and then transportation systems in the Gulf of Mexico. In 1982, he became the first Regional Director of Minerals Management Service following a reorganization combining the offshore minerals program of Land Management and U. S. Geological Survey. He also presided over the first billion dollar sale of oil and gas leases in the Gulf of Mexico thereby firmly establishing the tradition of his red coat. He retired in 1985.

Ms. Triplett was born in Evansville, IN to Harold and Marie Shindler on January 11, 1927. She was a resident of The Landing at Behrman Place then St. Luke's Living Center. Nancy enjoyed the rhythm of the city and loved the people of New Orleans. Nancy was a 1944 graduate of Reitz Memorial Catholic High School and attended St. Mary of the Woods College in Terre Haute, IN. After her graduation in 1948, she made a career of teaching for the Catholic Diocese in Owensboro, KY and then in Evansville, IN, teaching at Good Shepherd Grade School for 25 years. She considered teaching for the diocese an obligation to the Catholic faith that she dearly loved. Married to F H "Tim" Triplett on December 29th, 1951, settling after some years in her childhood home in Newburgh, IN, Nancy was a longtime member of St. John the Baptist Catholic Church. With her husband, she was a member of Rolling Hills Country Club where she loved to play golf. She noted the number of putts on her scorecard; every hole, every round. She and Tim spent each Christmas in Ft. Lauderdale, FL, and both loved to travel. She often told friends, students and family to keep a bag packed and hit the road when the opportunity presented itself. Inheriting a vocation of service to others from her mother, Marie, Nancy was a past president of the St. Mary's Medical Center Auxiliary and a Pink Lady volunteer for many years. After her teaching career, she substitute taught only at Reitz Memorial, her beloved High School. Ms. Triplett is survived by her loving daughter, Nancy Triplett White, son-in-law Clayton White, grandchildren, Kai, Alex, and Emily White and Katie and Claire Triplett, all of New Orleans, Louisiana. Also surviving are her cherished son, Tim Triplett, and good friend, daughter-in-law, Diane Gore Triplett of Newburgh, IN. Nancy was a motivator who truly understood that what could be perceived could, therefore, be achieved. Her greatest regret was that she did not own a car her last years in New Orleans. It was her intention, each and every day, to go and buy one. In lieu of flowers, Nancy would want you to support your preferred charities, be kind to others, and live in a healthy manner. Private services will be conducted at a later date in Indiana. Mothe Funeral Home is in charge of local arrangements.
