Obituary

A resident of Amite, LA, passed away on Thursday, January 18, 2024 at The Lodge at Tangi Pines in Amite, LA. He was born February 5, 1948 in Baton Rouge, LA and was 75 years of age. Skeeter spent the majority of his days at his home on Airport Road. He enjoyed chopping wood, gardening, and fishing. You would typically find him sitting on his porch, listening to the breeze or in his home watching football. He was the self proclaimed number one arrowhead hunter in the state of Louisiana. He loved showing off his collection. He loved his visits from his children and grandchildren. Skeeter was a very simple man, but yet complicated in his own ways. He will be missed by all, for he was a great father, brother and friend. He is survived by his son, Jonah Ballow and wife, Casey; 2 sisters, Patricia Guidry and Earline Harrington; 1 brother, Harry Williamson; 10 grandchildren, Austin Ballow, Darien Ballow Miller, Reese Ballow, Pearce Ballow, Luke Ballow, Lundyn Ballow, Betty Ballow, Emmie Ballow, Peyton Dupuy, and Jordan Dupuy; 1 great-grandson, Benjamin Miller. Preceded in death by his mother, Annie Ballow; father, Earl Ballow; daughter, Honey Ballow Dupuy.
