Duke Allen Mackles, 33, passed away unexpectedly on his birthday March 12, 2021 at his home in Folsom, Louisiana.
A former resident of St. Bernard Parish, Duke was born on March 12, 1988 to Louis J. and Velma LaFontaine Mackles.
Duke enjoyed hunting, fishing, and most importantly, spending time with his family. He cherished his only son, Noah Joseph age 11, and looked forward to spending more time with him. Being of similar ages, Duke had a brotherly bond with his nephews, George and Perrish, and his niece, Lindsey. He was a favorite uncle of his young nephews, Lil’ Shane and Nathan.
A barber by trade, Duke dreamed of one day owning his own shop as he practiced his craft throughout Tangipahoa Parish. Although he was lovingly teased by his siblings, he was a stylish dresser and a lady’s man. He will be dearly missed by his family, friends, and clientele.
Duke is preceded in death by his father Louis Joseph Mackles.
He is survived by his mother Velma LaFontaine (Jerry); siblings Doris Wheat (Eddie), Dianne Smith, Craig Mackles, Sr. (Alice), Lillian “Peanut” Mackles Goetz Trahan (Patrick), Gwen Mackles (Lou), Perrish Mackles, Sr. (Tracey), Shane L. Mackles (Elizabeth); son Noah Joseph; and a host of nieces and nephews.
Relatives and friends of the family are invited to attend the Funeral Service at Journey Fellowship Church, 3127 Pontchartrain Dr., Slidell, LA 70458 on Friday, March 19, 2021 at 12:30 PM with visitation beginning at 10:30 AM. Interment will follow at St. Bernard Memorial Gardens, Chalmette, LA.
