Eddie Landry Jr, affectionately known as Mr. Coyo, passed away peacefully at his home surrounded by family.
He was born to the union of Eddie (Edier) Landry Sr. and Mazie Levine Landry in Gross Isle (Abbeville) on a small farm and he was always known for being a hard worker. He grew up farming with his father and then also farmed okra, corn, Tabasco peppers to countless other vegetables with his sons. He worked for many years as a mason brick layer.
Eddie was never scared of hard work. He continued farming in some capacity until his body no longer allowed it. He enjoyed talking to others and helping those in need.
Although he did not smile much in pictures, he was always laughing and smiling in conversations with his loved ones. More than anything Eddie was a family man, he was proud of his children, grandchildren and Great-grand child.

He is survived by his devoted wife of 59 years, Mary Louise Landry, one daughter: Crystal Landry Cash, five sons: Anthony Landry (Sheena), Stacy Landry, Gregory Landry, Kenneth Landry and Damian Landry (Mashyla), nine grandchildren, one great-grandchild,six sisters and three brothers.
