Laurent Segura, known as “Nolan” by family and friends, was born October 1, 1946 in Coteau to the late Etienne Segura, Sr. and the late Julie Toucheque Segura. He passed away peacefully on Thursday, November 03, 2016 at Iberia Medical Center with his family at his side.

Nolan honorably served his country as a veteran of the United States Navy. He was a retired truck driver having worked in the oilfield most of that time. During his years he worked with Howard Trucking, R K Pipe, and with Acme Truckline. Most will remember Nolan for his passion as a horse trainer. He loved going to the races to watch his horses run. Some of his pastimes were gardening and watching his favorite westerns. But his greatest love was spending time with his family and friends, whether enjoying a meal or just having a good laugh. Nolan will be missed dearly by all who knew and loved him.

Survivors include his wife of 48 years, Mildred Jacques Segura of New Iberia; his children, Vicki Segura Landry and Kevin Charles Segura both of New Iberia; four grandchildren, Kaylin Bonin Francis of New Iberia, Corey J. Landry and wife Candi G. Landry of Broussard, Cody J. Landry and wife Melisa T. Landry of New Iberia and Kevin K. Segura of New Iberia; seven great grandchildren, Gabrielle and Claire Landry, Kiah Francis, Nicholas, Brody and Cody Landry, Jr. and Jackie Francis, Jr. He is also survived by his brothers and sisters, John L. “Bullay” Segura, Cevelia S. “Tut” Alleman, Susie S. Romero, Johnson J. “Jimmy” Segura and Allen J. “Poochie” Segura; and two best buddies, PeeWee and T-Coon his Chihuahuas.
