Weston being one of 13 children is where his story begins. His family survived many trials, including the great flood of 1927. T-Wes was full of life and loved his family. He enjoyed watching the Breaux Bridge High School Tigers, playing Bourr, cooking, and spending time with family and friends. T-Wes was a fisherman, fishing crawfish until he was 89 years old. He fished in the first crawfish pond in Duson, Louisiana. He loved French music and would never miss a festival, traveling all over with his wife, Ruth. T-Wes was the 2003 Crawfish King. His favorite vacation spot was Holly Beach. He enjoyed life to the fullest and will be remembered for his dedication and love for his family and friends. T-Wes always said, "I'm 79 during the day, and 55 at night!" He is survived by his sons, Mike Usie and wife Rene, and Jimme Usie and wife Carla; his daughters, Patricia "Pat" Usie, and Shelia Belaire; 9 grandchildren; 10 great grandchildren; and 1 great-great grandchild. He was preceded in death by his loving wife of 68 years, Ruth Dor Usie; his parents, Elfeg and Hermine Courville Usie; a daughter, Emily Usie; two sons, Gerald "Jay" Usie and Gary James Usie; and a son-in-law, Darrell "Popeye" Belaire.
