Touchet, who graduated from Erath High in 2017, was a UL student and had to be hospitalized on Dec. 5 with COVID 19. Three days later, he was placed on a ventilator in ICU and began his biggest fight.
The fight ended Monday afternoon and posted on social media a few hours later.
Funeral arrangements are still pending as of Tuesday afternoon.
It is not uncommon to see sales tax collection jump when there a disaster such as a flood due to a hurricane or heavy rain because parish residents spend money to repair their homes. Well, that theory is holding up once again.
Despite limited access to restaurants or bars and movie theaters, Vermilion Parish residents spent their money to either get ready for the busy hurricane season or to repair their homes after hurricane season.
In November, in the thick of the COVID-19 pandemic and the end of hurricane season, residents spent an impressive $430 million.
