It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Joseph "Sonny" C. Marcantel, III, a loving husband, skilled carpenter, and devoted member of the community. Born on November 11, 1954, in Jennings, LA, Sonny lived a fulfilling life until he passed away on April 1, 2026, in Lake Charles, LA.

He attended Kinder High School until the 12th grade; Sonny dedicated many years to his work as a control operator and carpenter with two different power plants. 

A proud veteran of the United States Navy, he served his country with honor and distinction. When he wasn't working, Sonny could often be found enjoying his favorite pastimes fishing, and hunting.
