Another fatherless baby

because A. Trahan
drove drunk.
Audie Pitre and his parents, Nora and Kermit Pitre, were killed by a drinking driver on the Bourg-Larose Highway on Thursday, January 23, 1997, just before 6:00 pm. The weather was stormy, and there was fog. The road is arched over with moss-hung trees.
The funeral was in Cutoff at the new Samart Funeral Home. Calling hours were 6:00 to 10:00 p.m. on Sunday and again on Monday from 8:00 to 10:00 a.m. at which time the triple funeral commenced. The surviving band members were pall bearers.
Audie's younger brother Kelly was in the car but survived the crash. He is living with relatives now and doing well, physically. Kelly was only 13 years old. He has one sister in her early twenties. There was a fund started but it is no longer active.
The pickup truck that hit the Pitres had sideswiped another pickup before the fatal accident. The driver was charged with having used alcohol. (He reportedly has had three or four drunk driving tickets and was not supposed to be driving.) The owner of the pickup which hit the Pitres was a passenger in the truck, and his friend was driving. The driver is reported uninjured.
Everyone loved Audie.
Audie Thomas Pitre was an accomplished bass guitarist. He also added back-up vocals in Acid Bath (1991-1997) and formed another band known as SHRUM (1995). Audie formed SHRUM with the idea to have two bass players to create a uniquely heavy, low-end bass sound. SHRUM's only CD to date is Red Devils & Purple Ringers. In January 1997, Audie Pitre and his parents were killed when they were hit head-on by a drunk driver. The driver was convicted of three counts of vehicular homicide. Audie is survived by his son, Audie Lane.
∼Rock Musician. He was the bass player for the groups, Acid Bath and Shrum. His life and promising career was cut short at the age of 26, by a drunk driver.
