The details surrounding Tanasha’s cause of death and the duration of her hospitalization remain undisclosed at this time. Authorities have stated that there is no indication of foul play in connection with her passing. Kevin Faulk, known for his three Super Bowl victories with the New England Patriots in 2001, 2003, and 2004, shared Tanasha and Kevione with his wife, Latisha Faulk. Their family had experienced the heartbreaking loss of Kevione in 2021, during which Kevin was serving as a running backs coach at LSU.
In response to Kevione’s passing, LSU issued a statement expressing their sorrow and offering condolences to the Faulk family. Tanasha is survived by her three daughters: Ava Shelvin, Jornell Zenon, and Jaida Louis. Additionally, she is remembered by her “companion of five years,” Isaac Louis, her parents Kevin and Latisha, siblings, and other extended family members. The Faulks have also endured the loss of their son, Kevin Jr., during infancy, as noted in the obituary.
Tanasha, a lifelong resident of Carencro, was celebrated for her lively spirit, unwavering dedication to loved ones, and ability to bring joy to those around her. The obituary described her as someone who found immense happiness in family gatherings, holidays, and particularly Mardi Gras celebrations. She took pride in watching her daughters grow and enjoyed preparing meals that brought people together. Tanasha’s legacy is one of generosity, laughter, and love, which continues to resonate with her family and friends.
A funeral service for Tanasha Faulk is scheduled to take place on Saturday, Dec. 13, according to the obituary. The Faulk family has been met with an outpouring of support and sympathy during this difficult time as they navigate the loss of Tanasha, adding to the pain of Kevione’s passing just four years prior. The community has come together to offer condolences and honour Tanasha’s memory, highlighting the impact she had on those around her.
This heartbreaking news serves as a reminder of the fragility of life and the importance of cherishing every moment with loved ones. The Faulk family’s strength and resilience in the face of such profound loss are a testament to the power of unity and love during times of adversity. As they mourn the passing of Tanasha, they are surrounded by the support and compassion of those who hold them dear. May Tanasha’s spirit live on in the hearts of her beautiful daughters and family, and may she be remembered for the love and light she brought into the world.
