He is survived by his parents, Ralph and Patsy Thibodeaux Calais; his brothers, Chris Calais and wife Dana, and Brent Calais; his sisters, Chantel Calais, Wynde Frederick and husband Nick, and Kasie Calais; and a host of nieces and nephews. He was preceded in death by paternal grandparents, Holden and Alma Calais, Sr.; and maternal grandparents, Rosen and Palmier Thibodeaux.
