Brian Robert Durant born on April 28th, 1953, to Lloyd Woodard Durant and Daphanie Edna Cather Durant, passed away on February 4th, 2026, in Deridder, Louisiana, at the age of 72.

A devoted Christian husband and talented musician, he served with honor in the private military air force. His greatest joy came from spending cherished moments with his family, opening his heart and home as a foster parent to 14 children, and rescuing animals-especially dogs, who found a special place in his care. His unwavering friendship and partnership with his wife were an inspiration to all who knew them.

His legacy of compassion, generosity, and devotion will continue to live on through his family and all those whose lives he touched. He will be deeply missed and forever remembered.

He is survived by his loving wife, Letitia Durant; his children, Jason Robert Durant and wife Cinnamon, Sarah Grace Captain and husband Terry, and Thomas Edwards Durant; grandchildren Aaron, Breana, Aiden, Willow, and Trinnity; and great-grandchildren Sophie and Abel. He is also survived by his siblings, Thomas Durant and wife Sherry, Gail Wilson and husband Bruce, and Roger Durant and wife Sophia and special brother - in - law Phillip Edwards.

He is preceded in passing by his parents.
