Chris was a loving husband, father, son, brother and uncle. He loved his family more than anything and his proudest accomplishment were his boys. Chris never met a stranger. He quickly became a friend to all and then fed them. Chris lived life to the fullest. He enjoyed hunting, fishing, crabbing and cooking with all of his hunting buddies. He lived for it. Chris enjoyed all of his many camping trips, where he could spend special times with his family and friends. Every week, he looked forward to his ritual breakfast get-togethers with his classmates.
He will be sadly missed by all who knew him and loved him.
He is survived by his loving spouse of 35 years, Stacy Crappell Beraud; three sons, Chad Christopher Beraud and fiancée Abigial Ramirez, Eric James Beraud and Alex Joseph Beraud; mother, Claudette Landry Beraud; brother, Greg Beraud; sisters, Diana “Dee Dee” Beraud Duhon and husband Mark, and Mary Denise Beraud Hebert and husband Paul; mother-in-law, Ruth Toups Crappell; sisters-in-law, Jennifer C.
