Troy Thomas Townsend

February 22, 1969 — August 1, 2020

Troy Thomas Townsend passed away at his residence on August 1, 2020. He was 51 years of age, a native of Arlington, TX, and resident of Marrero, LA from a young age. Son of the late William Carson Townsend, Jr. and Brenda Bourgeois Townsend, Troy is survived by his brother, Keith Carson Townsend (Terry)and sister, Kimberlee Ann Townsend Bourgeois (Scott). Also survived by one niece, Kayden Townsend, many more loving family members and friends. Troy was a graduate of John Ehret High School (Class of 1987) and was one of only four people in the state that year to ace the ACT test with a 36 score. He attended college at Mississippi State University and the University of New Orleans. Troy served as a pipefitter with American Contractors for several years at Avondale Shipyards, where he was proud to have worked on the USS Rushmore (LSD-47), USS Ashland (LSD-48), and USS Harpers Ferry (LSD-49). But it was his work with the Daiquiri Factory, L.T.D. that cemented his Westbank reputation. Troy served as general manager for over thirty years, and during that time, he developed many lasting relationships due to his kindness, steady advice, and strong convictions. More than a dealer in daiquiris, Troy was a philosopher and part time psychiatrist, who used the Factory as his office. And the Westbank community was the better for this. So well liked, Troy served as best man for no less than six of his close friends. Some of them twice. He was also no stranger on the “scene.” Patrons and employees of the Biere Bar, Rum Runners, Paradise, and others share in mourning, as do countless Jäger Girls from Marrero to Grand Isle. Troy Townsend will be sorely missed. The family would like to extend their gratitude to all those who assisted during this trying time. Due to current restrictions, a private wake will be held on Saturday, August 8 and an open Celebration of Troy’s Life and Memory will be scheduled at a later time. In lieu of flowers, the family asks to please consider a donation to No One Fights Alone or the Animal Rescue of New Orleans (ARNO.) MOTHE FUNERAL HOME is assisting the family during this difficult time. Family and friends may offer condolences at mothefunerals.com.
