Kevin Preau Obituary

Kevin Paul Preau, 42, of New Orleans, LA died on December 9, 2023. He was born in New Orleans on January 19, 1981 to Paul and Karen Preau. Kevin graduated from Holy Cross High School where he played baseball and was quarterback for the Holy Cross Tigers football team. He earned a bachelor's degree and was a Division I baseball player for the University of Louisiana at Lafayette. Kevin was a founding family member of Jambalaya Girl New Orleans Food Products and owner of Preau Pots. One of his many gifts was his genuine love for others – so many people have shared that he made them feel like he/she was his best friend. Kevin was preceded in death by his grandparents Clarence and Margaret Preau, Maurice and Catherine Bernos, and is survived by his father Paul Preau, mother Karen Preau, sister Kristen Preau Moore, brother-in-law Mason Moore, nephew Myles and niece Margaret "Maggie" Moore. The family is holding a private burial. Please join us for a Celebration of Life at Holy Cross High School on January 20 at 11 am. Donations to Holy Cross High School would be greatly appreciated. Please note "in memory of Kevin Preau" with your donation.

Although Matt and I only knew Kevin for the last three years, he was the sweetest person with all ways a smile on his face and never a harsh word say.
He blew me kisses everyday I saw him and was always so very complementary.
I miss his smiling face everyday. I know he is now in a place of peace and will be forever blowing kisses to his new found angels. We miss you Kevin and know will be in peace and loving place forever more.
