Darrell was born on August 11, 1953, in Shreveport, Louisiana to Douglas Newton LaCaze and Elva Ann (Attaway) LaCaze. He grew up and lived his entire life in Shreveport. He was a graduate of Woodlawn High School. In his working career, he worked diligently for several different companies prior to establishing his own business – LaCaze Automotive, which he operated for several years. During these years, he achieved the distinction of “Master Mechanic.” In his later years, his interest in woodwork and carpentry led him to form another business, Prestige Quality Home Repair. Darrell was always well respected for his work ethics and attention to detail. 

Darrell had a keen interest in stargazing and held membership in the Astronomical Society of Shreveport-Bossier. Because of his automotive background, he enjoyed NASCAR sport. He also found enjoyment in electronics, cooking, photography, antiquities and other sporting events. He always loved learning something new.

He is survived by his son, Patrick Wayne LaCaze of Shreveport; brother, Ronald LaCaze and wife, Jana of Oklahoma; sister, Lisa LaCaze of Shreveport; Uncle Kirby LaCaze and wife, Miriam of Shreveport; and numerous beloved nieces, nephews and cousins.
