Louis A. LaFreniere, 71, of Taunton, passed away on March 27, 2025.
Born and raised in Taunton, Louis was the beloved son of the late Albert and Louise (Silvia) LaFreniere, Sr.
Louis had a zest for life and found joy in the simple pleasures. He loved playing pool at the Atlantic Café, chopping wood, sitting by the campfire, playing Keno, enjoying a cold beer, and watching wrestling, the History Channel, old westerns, and action movies. He had a deep appreciation for music, embraced taking risks, and, above all, cherished the time spent with his family and friends.
Louis is survived by his loving daughters, Melissa LaFreniere of Taunton, Jenna Coulsey of Harwich, and Jacquelyn Ruplenas of Texas. He was a proud grandfather to Anthony LaFreniere, Tucker Ruplenas, and Cole Ruplenas and is also survived by many nieces and nephews.
He leaves behind his siblings: Edward LaFreniere, Albert LaFreniere, Jr., Daniel LaFreniere, Robert Silvia, Louise Dias, Judith Ferris, Suzanne LaFreniere, and Janine LaFreniere. He was predeceased by his brothers, Jimmy LaFreniere, Francis Silvia, Walter LaFreniere, Richard LaFreniere, and Scott LaFreniere.
