Don Jackson Barge

August 29, 1941 - December 22, 2021

Don Jackson Barge, born August 29, 1941 entered into eternal rest on Wednesday, December 22, 2021 with family by his side. Husband of Vivian Callegan Barge; father of Terri Barge Seibert (Timmy); grandfather of Brittany S. Breaux (Josh) and Lindsey S. McKay (Matt); great grandfather of Adelaide C. and Emerson B. Breaux and Margaret L. McKay. Preceded in death by his mother, Viola Squyres Barge, his brother, Glynn Barge (Jeannie) and sister, Beth Barge Hilton (Bill). Survived by his sisters, Evelyn Barge Taylor (John Paul) and Virginia Barge Robinson (Howard), and brother, Bobby Barge (Lois), as well as numerous nieces and nephews. Don was a long time resident of Marrero, LA and the owner of Acadian Carpet Center. He was not only successful in business, but he was also an avid hunter and fisherman, he always had a list of jokes to tell (more often than not, he would be laughing so hard by the time the punch line came, that you could easily miss it!) and was always waiting for the perfect moment to pull a prank on someone…but that infectious laugh made it all the better! He was always there to lend a helping hand and he will be sadly missed by all that knew him. The family would like to express their thanks to Felix and Denise Ordoyne, Amy Cressonie, Debra Pringle, Yolanda Johnson, Mary Fisher and Joyce Champagne for the great care that they gave during the most difficult days. Please consider donations in memory of Don to the Dementia Society of America or log on to https://www.dementiasociety.org. Interment will be at Westlawn Memorial Park Cemetery in Gretna. MOTHE FUNERAL HOME is assisting the family during this difficult time. Please express condolences at mothefunerals.com.
