A Louisiana hunting<\/a> trip turned tragic when a father described as having a “heart of gold” was accidentally shot and killed last month.<\/p>\n

Garret Verdun, 45,\u00a0died when a hunting rifle accidentally discharged as he and his hunting partner were walking to their hunting spots in Lafourche Parish around 4 p.m. on Nov. 29, the Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries<\/a> (LDWF) said in a news release.<\/p>\n

Verdun\u2019s partner told LDWF the two had just crossed a cattle guard when Verdun passed him the rifle and it went off. The .308-caliber round struck Verdun, killing him before first responders arrived, officials said.<\/p>\n

His body was turned over to the Lafourche Parish Coroner\u2019s Office. LDWF is assisting the Lafourche Parish Sheriff\u2019s Office with the investigation.<\/p>\n

Verdun is survived by his 19-year-old \u00a0daughter<\/a> Chloe, his son Ethan, and his fianc\u00e9e Tiffany Hunter.<\/p>\n

Chloe paid tribute to her father on Facebook, writing, “I wish more than anything I wouldn\u2019t be making this post, but I\u2019m so blessed to have shared 19 years with you. I love you forever, Dad, and always will.”<\/p>\n

She added: “You will forever be my role model and favorite person. Until we meet again, forever will be your love bug.”<\/p>\n

An online obituary remembered Verdun as a man with a “heart of gold” who was “ready to lend a hand or offer a comforting word,” noting that “his life, though too short, was rich with deep relationships and a boundless capacity for love.”<\/p>\n

It said his greatest joy came from time spent with his children, fianc\u00e9e and family<\/a>.<\/p>\n

“Garret was an avid outdoorsman<\/a> at heart,” the obituary continued. “He was gifted with hands of a craftsman and enjoyed carpentry and building things. Above all else, his family was his passion, always putting them first. He will be missed by all who knew him.”<\/p>\n

The family asks that those wishing to honor Verdun to donate in his name to the Wounded Warrior Project rather than send flowers.<\/p>\n

LDWF reminded hunters to keep firearms unloaded and safeties engaged while traveling to and from their hunting locations.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
