Harold "DeeDee" George Aucoin

Harold “DeeDee” George Aucoin, 80, a resident of Morgan City, passed away peacefully, Monday, December 8, 2025, at his home, surrounded by his loving family.

DeeDee was born September 12, 1945, in Morgan City, the son of Justilien Aucoin and Genevieve Gillen Aucoin.

He proudly served in the US Army fighting in the Vietnam War and was a lifelong member of the East St. Mary Honor Guard. He was a proud Vietnam veteran that was always seen wearing his hats and shirts and had his flags flying to show his pride.

He owned DeeDee’s Welding service where he was known for his creative work in welding. He was known for the love of giving; this is how he showed his way of love and that he liked you by giving you something he owned. He found joy in gun collecting; he was a regular visitor at Charlie’s Pawn Shop or in his words, he would say he worked there helping sell and telling customers about the guns with his buddy Chad Miller.

He was a person who loved to crack jokes and especially reenacting the three stooges, just to make you laugh, that is when he was the happiest. He also loved running dogs and hunting, especially in his younger days. Everyone in the neighborhood knew they were his dogs because of the tattoos he put on them. He loved children; he enjoyed playing with them, cracking jokes, play fighting, and especially giving them all nick names; T-Fred, Miss Wheat, Buck Wheat, Willy Billy, Chunky Monkey, Pudding Pop, Uncle Nu, Iggy Piggy Curls, The Bub, The Bro, Pebbles, Curly, and Goo Goo.

He will be sadly missed and lovingly remembered by his three children, Danny Aucoin, Kelly Jo Aucoin, and Melissa Freeman and husband Travis; two grandchildren, Leigh and Jenna Freeman; brother, Raymond Aucoin; his first wife, Caroline Giles, numerous nieces, nephews, and friends.

DeeDee was preceded in death by his parents, Justilien and Genevieve Aucoin; brother, Ronnie Aucoin; his second wife, Earline Aucoin.
