Memorial services celebrating the life of Joseph Brian Dufour will be held on Tuesday, May 12, 2026, from 6:00 PM until 8:00 PM in the chapel of Gallagher Funeral Home. A time of reflection will begin at 7:00 PM officiated by Rev. Lyndon Marcotte.

Mr. Dufour, age 67, of Pineville, passed away peacefully on Wednesday, May 6, 2026, surrounded by the love of his family.

Brian was a man of many talents, hobbies, and interests, but the role he treasured most in life was being a devoted husband, father, and Paw Paw.

After retiring from Siemens, he spent his days being surrounded by his family. His grandchildren were truly the light of his life, and there was nothing that brought him more happiness than hearing their laughter, sharing stories, and making memories with them alongside the love of his life, Dolly.

Whether he was lending a helping hand on a building project, settling in to watch one of his favorite movies, cheering for one of his many favorite sports teams, or listening to his wide-ranging taste of music, Brian’s ultimate happiness always came from the people he loved. His love for his family was unwavering, and the example he set through his kindness, loyalty, and compassion will continue to live as an example to those he leaves behind.

He was preceded in death by his parents, Joseph Clayton Dufour, Jr. and Dorothy Marie Dufour Boudreaux; brothers, Wendell Bruce Dufour and David Jerome Dufour; and sister, Anita Haynes.

Those left to cherish his memory include his beloved wife of 21 years, Mamie Dolly Dufour; son, Joshua Warren Frazier(Brookelyn); cherished grandchildren, Tristyn, Georgia, Waylon, and Lainey; sisters, Bobbie Denham(Orien)Marlene Wise(Michael), Belinda Marks, and Lillian Dufour. He also leaves behind many extended family members and dear friends who will miss him deeply.
