FONTENOT, CURNEY 
November 11, 1943 — August 24, 2013

Mr. Curney Fontenot, a native of Gueydan and longtime resident of Morgan City, 
born Nov. 11, 1943, to the late FT and Eula Fontenot, passed away Saturday, 
Aug. 24, 2013, in Morgan City at the age of 69.

Curney is survived by his high school sweetheart and wife of 50 years, Kei 
Fontenot. Curney also leaves behind to cherish his memories three daughters, 
April Magana and her husband, Higinio, Paris Renee Sanchez and her husband, 
Dennis, and Vanessa Rubin and her husband, Christopher. Curney was blessed with 
seven grandchildren, Timothy Fontenot, Blair Johnson, Randy Megana, Chaille 
Johnson, Seth Rubin, Luke Rubin and Emily Sanchez; one great-grandchild, Sophie 
Hebert; and one brother, Wilbert Fontenot.

Curney started his career in the United States Air Force after serving his 
country proudly. He went on to work for Hamer’s Hammers and after five years 
dedicated his life to helping others and joined the St. Mary Sheriff’s 
Department. He then went on to join the Morgan City Police Department and 
served there for 14 years. 
Curney was an outdoors man at heart and when the opportunity came for him to 
own his own shrimp boat he then turned his attention to becoming a commercial 
fisherman, a job he truly loved and pursued until his retirement.

In keeping with Curney’s wishes, he will be cremated with private family 
services at a later date.
