David Allen Loupe born on June 28, 1944, a native and resident of Morgan City, 
passed away Saturday, August 2, 2014 at the age of 70.

David was a man of great character, honesty, and integrity. He was a fun-loving 
and compassionate husband and father, and he adored his grandchildren and 
great-granddaughter. "Big Dave" loved the outdoors; duck hunting and fishing 
with family and friends brought him great joy through the years. Special bonds 
were made out on the water and in the woods--friendships that lasted a 
lifetime.

"The Sac-a-lait King of the Basin," as he was called by his friends and family, 
could usually be found watching a beautiful sunrise. He always took time to 
appreciate the simple but important things in life: nature, friends, and most 
importantly, family.

He was employed and retired from Shell Offshore after 35 years of service. 
While at Shell, he was a Transportation Supervisor. But that wasn't his most 
important title. That belongs to husband, dad, grandpa, and friend. David was 
also a parishioner at Sacred Heart Catholic Church.

David is survived by his loving wife, Joy Giroir Loupe; three sons, Troy and 
Roxanne Loupe of Watersound, FL, Neil and Jennifer Loupe of Berwick, LA, and 
Heath Loupe of Atlanta, GA; his grandchildren include Tyler Daigle and his 
wife, Hope Barras, of Patterson, LA, Morgan, Brodie, Addison, and Meredith 
Loupe and his great-granddaughter, Ellie Daigle. He is also survived by his 
brother, Forrest Loupe, Jr., and his wife, Annette, of Centerville, MS, and his 
mother-in-law Shirley Giroir, of Morgan City, LA.

Preceding David in death was his daughter, Celeste Loupe, his parents, Forrest 
and Wilhelmina Loupe, his sister, Gayle Davis, and his father-in-law, Cyrus 
Giroir.

Visitation will be held Wednesday, August 6, 2014 from 8:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m. 
at Sacred Heart Catholic church followed by mass at 11:00 a.m. 

David will be laid to rest in the Morgan City Cemetery.

In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to Kiwanis of East St. Mary P.O. Box 
3475 Morgan City, LA 70381.
