John A. Istre

CROWLEY - It is with a heavy heart that the family of John A. Istre, 68, announce his passing at 4:45 am, Friday, Sept. 13, 2024, in Egan.
Memorial services will be held privately at a later date.
How do you sum up the life of a man like John in a few sentences? He was a hard worker, resilient, dependable and a loving family man. He was the kind of guy that loved spending his days at the Old Smokey or on the boat with James and Mike. He gave every ounce of himself to his late wife, his kids and grandkids.
He was the kind of human a young person should strive to grow up and be.
He is survived by two children, Bryce Vincent Istre of Lafayette and Tori Istre Hebert and husband Donald Jr. of Egan; three siblings, Joseph Daniel Istre and wife Linda of Egan, Rebecca Istre Thibodeaux and husband Joseph of Lafayette, and James Elridge Istre and wife Rachal of Egan; four grandchildren, Madalyn, Imberlyn, Harper and Karsyn Hebert; and many nieces and nephews.
Johnny is preceded in death by his wife, Lindy Vincent Istre; two infant children, Casey and John Phillip Istre; his parents, O’Neal and Thelma LeJeune Istre Jr.; and one brother, O’Neal “Boo” Istre III.
