The 30-year-old daughter of local football legend Kevin Faulk and his wife, Latisha, died unexpectedly Saturday at Oschner Lafayette General Medical Center.
No details on the death of Tanasha Faulk have been released, but no foul play was suspected.
Tanasha Faulk is the couple’s second daughter who died suddenly. In September 2021, Kevione Faulk died at the age of 19, serving as a student worker for LSU’s football program at the time.
Tanasha Faulk, who has three daughters, was a 2014 graduate of Carencro High.
According to her obituary, family was the center of Tanasha Faulk’s life, especially her three daughters.
“Being their mother brought her so much joy and she was immensely proud watching them grow and learn,” her obituary reads. “Tanasha also found joy in holidays, birthdays, family gatherings, and especially Mardi Gras. She loved to cook and was happiest when preparing meals that brought people together. Her generosity, laughter, and loving nature created a sense of home wherever she went.”
Visiting hours for the funeral service will begin at 8 a.m. at Our Lady of Assumption Catholic Church in Carencro. A Mass of Christian burial will then be at 11 a.m., followed by interment at the Evangeline Memorial Gardens in Carencro.
Kevin and Latisha Faulk, who have been together since middle school, also have a son, Kevin III.
Faulk was a state championship quarterback at Carencro High in 1992, before becoming an All-American running back at LSU and then a three-time Super Bowl champion with the New England Patriots. He was also an assistant coach at LSU.
