Louis Joseph Laganiere Jr.

November 17, 2020 by Hometown News

Grey Eagle, Minn. Louis Joseph Laganiere Jr “Louie” 79; passed away Wednesday, September 30, 2020 at his home.
Louie was born February 21, 1941 in Lanesboro, Minnesota to Louis “Little Joe” and Pearl Laganiere. He married Karen Evenson of Rushford, Minnesota at the Rushford Lutheran Church in 1959 and had just celebrated their 61st wedding anniversary on September 19.
Louie was a carpenter of all trades and was a member of the United Brotherhood of Carpenters and Joiners of America 930. He was proud of his little ponderosa “Up North” and took pride in fixing and remodeling the home where he and Karen chose to settle 31 years ago. He enjoyed cooking, gardening, canning, golf cart rides with his dogs beside him, Nascar (Tony Stewart) and politics…only if you agreed with him! He also enjoyed time spent with family and friends to talk about everything and anything and would follow you out the door in conversation until you got into your car. Throughout the years, he and Karen had many Jack Russell Terriers that they loved and raised like children, while their own kids with laughter, would tease that he treated the dogs better than them! Age did not slow Louie down too much in his elder years, he still could raise a glass and tell you like it is!
Louie is survived by the love of his life, his wife, Karen. Their children; Scott Laganiere of Eyota, MN; Stacy Draper (Jed Johnson) and Patrick (Stacey) Laganiere both of Lanesboro, MN; Todd (Tammy) Laganiere of Dodge Center, MN and Jesse (Jen) Laganiere of Rochester, MN; 12 grandchildren: Dustin, Jennifer, Lucas, Melody, Misty, Cory, Dylan, Sophia, Coltan, Kiara, Keyan, Devin and 17 great grandchildren; brother, LaMonte Laganiere; and sisters Barbara Long, Michon Pingree and Yvonne (Mike) O’Neil all of Rochester, MN and Clorees (Phillip) Haug of Lanesboro, MN along with many nieces and nephews and his 4 beloved Jack Russells; Mountain Dog, Snooky, Ginger and Mabelline.
Louie is preceded in death by grandson Cody Laganiere, his parents, brother Carroll Laganiere, and sisters Gail Bennett and Constance Laganiere.
Louie will be deeply missed by his loved ones
A Celebration of Life honoring Louie will be held at a later date.
