Paul Aucoin, Jr. a native of Morgan City and resident of Amelia went home to be 
with his Lord and Savior Jesus Christ on July 23, 2015 at the age of 74.

Paul was a loving Christian husband, father, grandfather, brother-in-law, 
uncle, and friend. He was a welder-fitter for forty-six years. 
His character and his work ethic was second to none. His love for the outdoors 
was evident throughout his life as he spent most of his leisure time hunting 
and fishing. 
He was also a good athlete and avid sports fan. He was a competitor whether he 
was playing horseshoes or checkers. 
He fought the good fight of faith for his Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. His 
love for God, God's word, and his church was evident to those who knew him 
best. His family and friends never had to guess where he stood, but nor did 
they ever have to wonder whether he loved them unconditionally. He was as tough 
as nails on the outside, but had a heart of gold on the inside. He genuinely 
cared about people and took great pride in providing for his family. He lived 
an honest, simple life - one that we all should strive to live each day.
Every time we see a fish rise out of the water, an animal that will provide a 
meal for our family or see something beautiful that God has created outdoors, 
we will think about him and the excitement he felt. We know that he is looking 
down on us with his huge unforgettable smile, and we hope that everyone if 
fortunate enough in this world to know someone that touches their life as 
deeply as he touched his family and friends.

Paul leaves behind to cherish his memories, his wife of 55 years, Mrs. Betty F. 
Aucoin. His children Pauline Morgan and her husband Michael of Houston, TX, 
Marla Duet and her husband Chris of Marietta, GA, and Gary Paul Aucoin and wife

Houston, TX , great-grandchildren Charleston Faith Duet, Jonathan Falcon, Jane
