Oliver Joseph Stelly, Jr.

Arnaudville- Olivier Joseph Stelly, Jr., age 47, of Arnaudville, Louisiana, passed away on March 2, 2026. Born on November 9, 1978, in Lafayette, Louisiana, Olivier was a beloved son, brother, and friend whose spirit brought joy and laughter to all who knew him. Raised in a close-knit family, Olivier was the "clown" of the household, known for his infectious laughter and charismatic personality. He had a passion for music, picking up the guitar at the young age of seven, and adored performing songs by his favorite artists, Hank Williams Sr. and Hank Williams Jr. His love for entertaining extended beyond music; he enjoyed playing card games with family and sharing moments that became cherished memories.

He made time for his passions-whether it was watching his beloved LSU Tigers and New Orleans Saints with Mr. Samuels and Troy or riding horses and fishing with his "brotha-in-law," Troy. Their special bond was one of Olivier's greatest treasures. Olivier will be deeply missed all his family and friends.

He is survived by his loving sisters, Connie Thomassee (Troy), Cynthia Stelly, Pamela Stelly, and Samantha Quebedeaux, who will carry his memory in their hearts forever. Olivier's faith in the Lord guided him through life, and his family is grateful for the love and laughter he shared with them.

Olivier was preceded in death by his parents, Olivier Stelly, Sr. and Lucille Bergeron Stelly; siblings, Larry Stelly, Sr., Gary Stelly, Sr., Debra Guidry, Lonnie Stelly, Sr., Bonnie Gunner, Lucy Stelly; nephew, Johnny Lee Aymond; maternal grandparents, Oralie and Mable Burtoneau Bergeron and paternal grandparents, Evans and Marie Stelly.

A memorial service will be held at a later date.

Pellerin Funeral Home (337-332-2111) is in charge of arrangements.
