Interment will follow at St. Bernard Cemetery No. 2 in Breaux Bridge. The youngest of four children of Neil and Julie Theriot, Dom was our treasure and gift. Dom was passionate about his friendships, his education and his style. His attention to detail was unmatched and his smile warmed the room. He had the unique ability to make others feel special and welcomed in his life. He was the most genuine and positive influence in our lives. After graduating high school from Holy Angels Academy in Minnesota, Dom pursued an undergraduate degree and graduated from UL with a Bachelors in Professional Land & Resource Management. His career as a Land Man took him to Dallas, Houston, then eventually back to Lafayette, where he worked tirelessly for several years at Freeport-McMoran, Inc. His most recent aspirations of becoming a Lawyer took him to Tulane University in New Orleans, where he was elected class President and awarded a clerkship during his first few months in school. As an advocate of health and fitness, Dom also joined the Cycle Bar family as an Instructor. He proudly and whole-heartedly gave everything he had to inspire others. He found much of his happiness and joy in this newly found and God given gift. He enjoyed dancing, laughing, spending time with his adoring family and most of all loved to see others smile. Until we meet again, rest easy sweet Dom. He is survived by his parents, Neil D. Theriot, Sr. and Julie Angelle Theriot of Houston, TX; his sisters, Rene Ezell and husband Zach of Lafayette, Meagan Mach and husband Adam of Youngsville, and Angelle Kuehner and husband Graham of Prague MN; his godchild, Ava Ezell; nieces and nephews, Owen Ezell, James and Julie Mach, and Scarlett and Stella Kuehner; and his best friends, Lindsay Sanders of Lafayette and Alex Lafleur of Breaux Bridge. He was preceded in death by his maternal grandparents, J. Burton and Shirley Angelle, Sr.; and his paternal grandparents, Norris and Martha Theriot, Sr. Pallbearers will be Zach Ezell, Adam Mach, Graham Kuehner, Seth Garrett, Jean Paul Angelle, and Aaron Lafleur.
