With a heavy heart I share that last night at 10:58 PM, my father, Francis Michael “Mike” Ducote, completed his final mission on this earth. He fought hard, and he passed peacefully. Dad served this nation with honor in the Army, Armyeast National Guard, Air National Guard, and the East Baton Rouge Parish Sheriff’s Office as a Patrol Deputy. He lived his life with strength, grit, and love. Thank you to everyone who has prayed for him and for our family over these last two weeks, those prayers lifted us more than you’ll ever know. Please keep us in your thoughts, and especially my mother Patricia, as we prepare to lay a good man to rest. I will post funeral arrangements in the next couple of days. Thank you and God bless, Douglas.
