I saw a post from PJ's wife Jessica with the news that St. PJ passed away this afternoon from COVID. Please keep the family in your prayers. Here is her post:

This is PJ's wife, Jessica. Today around noon, PJ passed away from Covid-19 very peacefully at Lafayette General hospital surrounded by family. His close friends gathered in the parking lot to also be near him. He had received all of his sacraments before he was intubated. He spent his last minutes holding his rosary & having Padre Pio relic (piece of his glove) touching his chest. He will be cremated and buried with his Mom and Grandparents.​

https://www.johnsonandbrownfuneralhome.com/ will be in charge of the funeral. It will be held at the local Catholic Church in Lacassine which burial on the side of the church.​

No official arrangements have been made at this time.​

Thank you to everyone that have called, texted, stopped by, brought food or just prayed for him.​

Our family is very grateful for our supportive family and friends. We are overwhelmed at the outpouring at this time. PJ and I have always talked about his life. We have always felt that he would have a short life. I am not sure why but God was guiding us for this moment. PJ has always told me that if something happened to him, he knew I would be fine and our girls would be taken care of. This has been proven true these last months by the overwhelming support we have received.​

THANK YOU!​

Good God. He was fairly young and I recall him as quite knowledgable in workout threads...so he cant have been too unhealthy. This is very sad.

My goodness. I did not expect this but God seems to have prepared them.

Eternal rest grant unto them, O Lord,
and let perpetual light shine upon them.
May the souls of all the faithful departed,
through the mercy of God, rest in peace.​
