Obituary for James Carroll "Pop Jim" Falcon
A private graveside service will be held at St. Theresa Catholic Cemetery in Duson, LA, April 23, 2020, for James Carroll Falcon, AKA “Pop Jim “. James passed away to be with his Lord & Savior Jesus Christ surrounded by his family, kids, and grandkids in his hometown of Duson, LA.
James was an avid fisherman and a jack of all trades, who loved cutting grass and helping family and friends with all sort of projects. One of his favorite past-times was drinking coffee in the morning with his friends at the local gas station and chatting with friends at the post office.
James was formally employed by Butcher Manufacturing, Aluma Wall, and the Patio Center from which he retired. At the time of his death, he was a long-time groundskeeper for both St. Theresa the Child Jesus Catholic Church and St. Benedict the Moor Catholic Church in Duson and took pride in his job. James also served his country as a member of the U.S. Army. He was a long-time member of the American Legion Post 77 in Rayne, Louisiana. He loved to have a good meal with family and friends and enjoyed spending time with his grandkids Ava & Austin. He was loved by all who knew him and will be greatly missed.
James was survived by his children, son – Christopher Falcon & his wife Amber of Duson; daughter - Maria Falcon & Fiancée Chuck Nacol of New Iberia; son - Toby Falcon & his wife Sarah of Duson; daughter - Nicole Falcon of Duson; two grandchildren – Ava & Austin Falcon; one step-grandson – Maddox Nacol; one sister – Audrey Alleman of Lafayette; one brother – Alvin (Boo-Boo)Falcon, three sisters-in-law, Barbara Falcon, Peggy Falcon, and Gayle Arceneaux Guidry, and many nieces and nephews.
He was preceded in death by his wife of 32 years, Betty Ann Arceneaux Falcon, father, Sosthene Falcon, mother, Lelia Credeur Falcon, two brothers, Joseph Mabry Falcon and Harold Falcon, and sisters Martha Richard and Lou Ella Falcon and two brothers-in-law, Caesar Alleman and Lenis (L.J.) Richard.

The family would like to express their deepest thanks and appreciation to the staff of Lafayette General Medical Center, Amedysis Home Health Care, Heart of Hospice, and Acadian Ambulance for the excellent care during this time of need. We would also like to thank all his family and friends who participated in his care. After his diagnosis, it was important to Pop Jim to always be given a fighting chance for life. He was always ready to attack the next obstacle and with these people he was given that chance.
In lieu of flowers, we would like for donations to be sent to Heart of Hospice.
