Sean Thomas Landry, age 52, passed away on April 12, 2025 at his home. Sean, an avid reader and sportsman, was infamous for his quick wit and his charm, and was beloved by virtually everybody he ever met. Sean was born on February 6, 1973 in Monroe, Louisiana to Ronald Landry, Sr. and Marilyn Farmer Landry. He was the middle child of three siblings with whom he remained close for his entire life.

Sean, a proud graduate of St. Frederick High School in Monroe, received a B.A. from Northeast Louisiana University in 1996. In 2001, Sean enrolled in and attended the Paul M. Hebert Law School at LSU, receiving his juris doctorate in 2004. He passed the bar in 2004 and began his law practice as a plaintiff lawyer handling personal injury cases both with the Law Office of Kirby Kelly and subsequently with Gordon McKernan Law Firm. While Sean enjoyed the practice, something was missing. He found his calling in 2020 when he left the Civil Practice and opened the Landry Law Firm, LLC to defend clients facing serious criminal prosecutions. Representing and vigorously defending indigent defendants is where Sean thrived. He developed a love for jury trials and litigation, and he served his clients well, helping countless people in necessitous circumstances.

Away from the office, Sean was an extremely social individual. He was always willing to go pretty much anywhere there was a good time to be had. He never met a stranger, and he had lifelong friends who loved him and with whom he remained close from his days as a kid in the Town and Country Subdivision in Monroe, to his unique and incredibly close class at St. Frederick High School, to the countless people he touched in college and beyond. People loved Sean, and he loved them back.

Sean had a unique sense of style. He would show up to virtually any social occasion donning jeans, a pullover and flip-flops. He normally accentuated this look with a red “Solo” cup or a Styrofoam cup, and sometimes a back-pack with a computer, because “he had work to do.” (He never actually did any work on a social occasion, but the good intention was certainly there.) No other human being who has walked the Earth could pull this off. But Sean was exceptional.

Sean was an avid reader, constantly reading about any and everything. He was like a sponge, and had more random knowledge that most normal people ever acquire. There was not a topic of discussion, ranging from sports to scientific discovery, where Sean was not completely prepared to debate or explain. He was affectionately known as “Nerd” to many he was close to, primarily based upon his incredible intellect and quick wit.

Probably Sean’s strongest and most marked attribute was his pure and unwaivering kindness to any and everybody around him. Sean would be the first to help a stranger change a tire, or to be there for a friend who needed anything. He would engage with anybody who needed to talk, and he would do so with kindness, empathy, and always a suggestion or two. There is nobody he encountered that didn’t love Sean. He lived hard, worked hard, and played hard, but always with a gentle kindness that you don’t often see. His friends will miss him, and the world is a better place for his having given us all the much too brief time we had with him.

Sean was preceded in death by his mother and father, Ronald and Marilyn Landry.

Sean is survived by his brother, Ronald Landry, Jr., his sister Connie Landry Nagim, nephew Kolton Landry, and countless friends and family who loved him.

In lieu of flowers, the family would ask that donations be made to The Sean Landry Memorial Scholarship fund to support students in need at his beloved alma mater, St. Frederick Catholic High School.
