C. Ray Pilant, 75 a native of Shawnee, OK and a long time resident of Morgan 
City, passed away on Tuesday, July 1, 2014. 

In his younger years, he was the general manager of KMRC radio station in 
Morgan City. He had that type of voice that few people could forget. For the 
past 40 plus years he was the owner and operator of Pilant Court Reporting 
firm. He served as a member of various civic organizations. One of RayŐs 
passions was that of sport fishing, in particular that of fly-fishing. He has 
many trophy fish to prove that he could catch the big ones. He and his best 
friend, Jim Wright spent many delightful hours in the boat casting a line. 

He is survived by his loving wife of 36 years, Jane Coullard Pilant; his four 
sons, Kevin and his wife Colleen, Forrest and his wife Karen, Brandon and his 
wife Kathy, Christopher and his partner John Michael Byrd; his grandchildren, 
Joshua Pilant and wife Amy, Lana and her husband Tim Trude, Trisha and her 
husband Jarrett Mabile, Cody Pilant, Caleb Pilant, Marcus Pilant and wife 
Nicole, Jennifer Pilant, Sarah and husband Chad Dean, and Laura Pilant; his 
great grandchildren, Madisyn and Payton Pilant, Reece, Ethan, and Drake Trude, 
Savannah, Abagail, Sophia and Owen Pilant. His brothers, John, Calvin and Joe 
Pilant, also survive Ray. 

His parents, Clyde Ellis Pilant and Leona Moody Pilant, a brother, Ross Pilant 
and a great grandson, Mason Mabile, preceded him in death. 

Memorial visitation will be held on Saturday, July 5, 2014 at Sacred Heart 
Catholic Church beginning at 8:00 a.m. until time of Mass. The memorial Mass 
will be said at 11:00 a.m.
