Gilman Adam Verret

It is with profound sorrow and heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Gilman Adam Verret, a beloved father, grandfather, and great grandfather, who departed this life on June 3, 2026, at the age of 91. Born on August 22, 1934, in the quiet town of Bayou L'Ourse, Louisiana, Gilman lived a life marked by kindness, generosity, and unwavering commitment to his family and community.

Gilman served honorably in the United States Army from February 26, 1957, until his discharge on February 25, 1959, achieving the rank of E4. Following his military service, he dedicated 35 years of his professional life to Halliburton as a Maintenance Superintendent, where his expertise and diligence earned him the respect of all who worked with him.

A devout parishioner of Maria Immacolata Catholic Church, Gilman fervently served as an usher for many years, where his faith and sense of community shone brightly. He had a deep love for his family, cherishing every moment spent with his loving daughter, Kim Fournier (Craig), and his adored grandchildren, Alexis Giroir (Ronald Jr.), Jessica Trahan (Matthew Bourg); great-grandchildren, Elise Giroir, Colt Giroir, Vincent Bourg, and Violet Bourg; niece, Karen Dupre and nephew, Lonnie Dupre. 

Gilman found joy in tending to his vegetable garden, which flourished much like the love he cultivated for those around him. Family vacations especially camping with his Halliburton work family and were the highlight of his life, a time to bond and create lasting memories filled with laughter and love. He also enjoyed carving decoys in his later years. 

Gilman was preceded in death by his beloved wife LouElla Borne Verret; parents, Elton Verret, Lillian Verret; sister, Joyce Thurston; niece, Cheryl Lagarde; nephews, Mitch Dupre, Jr. and Vernon Dupre.

Gilman was married to his beloved wife for 52 years, who he cherished deeply until her passing. With a gentle spirit, he embodied selflessness and compassion, always putting others before himself. He has now reunited with his beloved family who have gone before him, resting peacefully in the arms of his Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.

In celebration of his life, the family invites you to join them for a public viewing at Maria Immacolata Catholic Church on June 9, 2026, from 9:00 AM to 11:00 AM. A Mass of Christian Burial will follow at 11:00 AM, where we will honor and remember Gilman's steadfast spirit and the countless lives he touched. His final resting place St. Andrews Catholic Church Cemetery will be at 3460 Lake Palourde Road, Morgan City, LA, where he will be laid to rest.
