He was born on October 15, 1946, in Harvey, Louisiana, the son of the late Carbett Joseph Barrilleaux and Eula Cheramie Barrilleaux. Colin was a man who loved a good story!  He was generous and loved his family above all. He enjoyed fishing in Manchac, watching football, listening to live music and dancing, and any opportunity to socialize with others.   Colin loved a good joke and never met a stranger.  He enjoyed reading his Bible and was always up for a hearty Biblical debate.  He owned a local seafood shop in Hammond, LA called Seafood Dats Us.  He had various jobs and entrepreneurial adventures including working in refineries and owning three shrimp boats.  He was a loving father to five amazing children and a devoted partner to the love of his life, Doris Carter.
