Billy Dean Augustus

Billy Dean Augustus, age 65, transitioned into eternal rest on Friday, June 6, 2025, at Ochsner Medical Center, New Orleans, LA. Billy was born on June 1, 1960, in New Orleans, LA. A native of Phoenix, LA, Billy was the beloved son of the late Audrey Mae Augustus and the late Willis Miller. He was cherished by his stepfather, the late Archie Augustus, Sr. His maternal grandparents were the late Viola Williams and the late Freddie Williams. Paternal grandparents were the late Eliza Miller and the late August Miller, Sr. Billy was the Godson of Joyce Yvonne Ben and the late Herbert Williams, Jr., and the Godfather of Trenille "Albert" Bentley and Angelique Mosely.
He leaves to cherish his memories his devoted wife of twenty-nine years, Trenese Randall Augustus and his children Candice Augustus, Jennifer (Jared) Barthelemy, Trenee' Jiles, Kerry Fernandez, and Tevin (Norkesia) Augustus. Grandchildren Journie, Jordyn, Kayne, Rome, Summer, Maci, and Michael. He is also survived by his siblings Archie (Stacy) Augustus, Jr., Carolyn Augustus, Alfreda (Gary) LeBlanc, Willard (the late Tammy) Augustus and Gretchen Miller. Son-in-law of the late Calvin Randall, Sr. and the late Rosa Mae Randall. Brother-in-law of Davetta Randall, the late Calvin Randall, Jr. (Elenora), the late Linda Joseph (the late Henry Joseph, Jr.). Also survived by a host of nieces, nephews, relatives and friends.
Billy was baptized at St. Joseph Baptist Church in Phoenix, LA. However, in 2017 he joined St. John Baptist Church in Bertrandville, LA and fellowshipped under the leadership of Rev. John D. Riley, Jr. until God called him home.
After graduating from Phoenix High School in 1979, Billy was employed at United Bulk Terminal and International Marine Terminal before his final employment at the Plaquemines Parish Sheriff's Office.
Billy was well known for his athletic skills. His competitive spirit allowed him to excel in whatever sport he participated in, and he was regarded as one of the greatest athletes of his time. He was a prominent member of the After Dark Softball Team where he served as Team Captain. One particular title could not define him, as Billy also fulfilled many other roles within the organization. Billy spent countless hours traveling to different sporting events to support and mentor the youth from the Plaquemines Parish community. Later in life, he developed a passion for golf. This opened a new chapter in his life and his love for the game was rivaled only by his love for his family and friends. He was a proud member of the River Parish Golf Association where he made lifelong friends and was awarded the RPGA 2023 Flight Champion during his first year of membership.
He will be deeply missed by all who knew him and loved him, and his legacy will live on in the hearts of his family, friends, and all whose lives he touched.
Though we say goodbye for now, this is not the end. His spirit lives on in the love he gave, the lessons he shared, and the lives he shaped. Until we meet again, in God's presence, may he rest in eternal peace.
