Donald Ray “Don” Gaspard, 82 years old, passed away Saturday, April 16, 2022, in a local hospital. He was born on January 13, 1940, to Lou Vernon and Mabel Landry Gaspard in Lake Charles, LA.
He was an insurance claims adjuster and worked for Prudential in Baton Rouge and later Littleton Claims Service in Lake Charles.

Those left to cherish his memory are, his two sons, Donnie Gaspard and Darren Gaspard, and his daughter Dena Raftery, and her husband Roy Raftery and his stepdaughter Tara Landry Hodges. He leaves behind his beloved grandchildren Tara Wainwright, Lacey Gaspard, Madeline Gaspard, and Megan Raftery, along with three great grandchildren.
Don was preceded in death by his parents, his son Damon Gaspard, and his beloved Sharon.
