Mr. Redmon, age 84 of Bunkie, passed away on Sunday, November 6, 2016 at the Lafayette General Southwest.

He was always a hardworking and devoted father and husband. His hobby was working. He spent 26 years as Parts Manager at John Deere-Voelker Implement while also operating a janitorial sales and service business. For many years, he drove to Alexandria every Sunday morning at 4:00 a.m. and purchased 120 dozen donuts and returned to Bunkie to sell them on Main Street, along with the Sunday Times Picayune. Additionally, he distributed daily the Times Picayune and States Item newspapers to his many customers. In 1976, he began selling carpet from a few samples out of the back of his panel van until the business grew and became Redmon's Carpet and Flooring on Chevy Lane in Bunkie. He continued working there every day until his death.

He is preceded in death by his parents; Frank Thomas and Ozite Galland Redmon.

Survivors include his wife of 66 years, Eline Gagnard Redmon of Bunkie; daughters, Marilyn R. Doucet and husband Michael of Lafayette and Elizabeth Ann R. Smith and husband Billy of Bunkie; sister, Edith Ossowski and husband Robert of Walker; his grandchildren, Brandy & Blake Brewer, Justin and Logan Doucet, Jeremy and Lauren Smith, and Olivia and Craig Sabottke; and his great-grandchildren, Claire, Garrett, Carter, Davis, and Julia.
