The family requests that visitation be observed in Our Savior’s Church Broussard on Saturday, May 30, 2026, from 10 a.m. until time of services. Pastor Gabe Smith will conduct the funeral.
Survivors include his devoted wife of 40 years, Dorena Lynn Billiot Touchard; his son, Ashton L. Touchard and his wife, Caitlyn; his daughter, Katlyn M. Touchard; six grandchildren, Mason Paul, Londyn, Charles, Ireland, Caspian, Iris, and one on the way, Anastasia, and four siblings, Ross, Roxanne, Clark, and Bryan.
He was preceded in death by his parents, Mr. Roy Anthony Touchard and Mrs. Rosalind “Sue” Fabre Touchard, and two siblings, Phillip and Claire.
Stuart was a native of New Orleans and a longtime resident of Delcambre. He was a proud graduate of Delcambre High School and went on to build a meaningful career as a boat captain, faithfully ferrying essential equipment and crew members to offshore platforms in the Gulf, work that reflected both his skill and strong sense of responsibility.
A devoted husband, father, and family man, Stuart found his greatest joy in the time he shared with those he loved, especially his grandchildren. He enjoyed simple pleasures, gathering around bonfires, listening to music, tending to his yard, and spending time outdoors. He never met a moment outside he didn’t appreciate, and he carried that same warmth into the lives of those around him.
Stuart was a man of enduring faith and quiet strength. Despite the challenges he faced throughout his life, he remained steadfast, loyal, and dedicated, always persevering with grace and conviction. His life was a testament to resilience and faithfulness, grounded in his membership at Our Savior’s Church.
He will be remembered for his unwavering love for his family, his hardworking spirit, and the steady presence he provided to all who knew him.
The Touchard family would like to extend their gratitude and appreciation to the teams of both Acadiana Rehabilitation Hospital and Our Lady of Lourdes Regional Medical Center.
