Born in Orange, Texas, on April 5, 1965, he was the son of Earl Hugh Duhon, Jr. and Betty Ann (Delahoussaye) Duhon. To put it simply, Earl was a good ole family man. He had a heart of gold and his family reigned number one in his life. Earl adored the family he made and was incredibly proud to be theirs. His happy place was being surrounded by his wife, children and grandchildren and even his daughter, Casey’s doberman, no matter the time or day. Earl worked for Dupuis Tire and Service Center in Bridge City for over 30 years, going on to purchase the business in July of 2016. Within the walls of his homegrown tire shop, he formed many friendships and relationships, and would consider his customers his own family. He did right by everyone, and everyone loved him for his warm smile and bright personality. Earl loved listening to country music and going to the deer lease, often bringing his grandchildren up there with him. His kind soul and loving spirit will be missed for generations to come and he will remain in the hearts of those he loved forever.

He is survived by his loving wife, Shirley Duhon; parents, Earl and Betty Duhon; daughters, Casey Tally and husband Blake and Courtney Telles and husband Josh; grandchildren, Chrislynn Tally, Paisley Telles, Sofia Tally, Maddox Tally and Cody Telles; sister, Jessica LeJeune and husband Terry; and niece, Rebekah Comeaux; along with numerous cousins, and extedned family and friends.
