It comes just four years after they lost their daughter, Kevione, who passed away in September 2021. Kevione, who was just 19 at the time of her death, was working with her dad as a student staffer for LSU’s football program. Kevin and Latisha, who also lost an infant son, Kevin Faulk Jr., have three surviving children, Tavion, Kevin III and Tionne.
According to her obituary, Tanasha is survived by her three daughters: Ava Shelvin, Jornell Zenon and Jaida Louis, and her partner of five years, Isaac Louis. She is remembered by those closest to her as someone who loved to cook and bring people together, especially during the holiday season.
“Her generosity, laughter, and loving nature created a sense of home wherever she went,” her obituary read.
