He was born in Trenton, Michigan. He died on December 22nd with his wife and daughter by his side after a sudden onset of a complicated MRSA infection of the bloodstream. He was 77 years old.

He earned a Bachelor’s Degree from Eastern Michigan University. He moved to Louisiana, to be near his parents and younger siblings. He lived in married student housing with his then wife and newborn daughter while he attended LSU Law School for his Juris Doctor. He Clerked under Eugene McGee, for the 19th Judicial District Court. He was an

Attorney for the Louisiana Legislative Auditor and was an Assistant Deputy Attorney General for the state of Louisiana for 30 years before he retired.

He met his beloved wife, Elizabeth Scott, in 2018, through mutual church friends. They married in June of 2022. Both in their seventies, they proved it’s never too late to love and embark on the life of newly weds.

He was a faithful worshiper of First United Methodist Church since 1975. He attended church every Sunday and was a member of The Rings and Ivy Sunday School Class. Most of his social and service life was centered around this class. He will be most remembered for delivering of the flowers and singing birthday greetings from the Sunday service every Monday, up until his last deliveries, November 27, 2023.

He loved animals. He had/owned dogs his whole life, and most recently a cat, named Joy-Joy. When he felt he could not care for his own dogs, he used an organization that loaned him service dogs to visit patients in the hospital.

He will be remembered as a man of service, with a dry sense of humor, who never believed in slowing down, and as someone who loved his family, his wife, and his wife’s family.

He is survived by wife Elizabeth Perry Scott, Sister, Lauri Harroun Holland, Brother-in-law, Dr. Al Holland, Daughter, Kristen Signe Harroun McAfee,
