David DePriest Jr., left us peacefully on Monday, June 10, 2019 from heart failure at the age of 48. He was born on March 18, 1971. David’s hobbies were spending time with family and friends, helping anyone who needed his assistant, playing his drums and of course, napping. David leaves behind his sisters, Dawn DePriest Riley (Earl Riley) and Desiree DePriest, brother Brandin Cantu, mom Marianna DePriest, daughter Danielle Dykes and grandsons Colby and Tanner, nieces Christen Boyd (Dylan Boyd & Beau) and Destiny Hubbard (Camden), nephew Seth Hubbard and his beloved “Happily Not Married” Rachael Bergeron (Luke & Alaina) amongst may cousins, aunts, uncles, family friends and all his work family at The Crowne And Holiday Inn of Baton Rouge. David is proceeded in death by his son David Alex DePriest, who passed away on June 10, 2014; father David P. DePriest Sr, grandmother Myrtle Mullet DePriest and grandfather John E De-Priest, Sr. David will be remembered for his huge smile and his intoxicating laugh. The “go-to” guy for any big or small projects. At David’s wishes, he will be cremated and placed with his dad and grandma in his hometown of Chalmette, LA. Until we all meet again “one day.”
