Alfred Luke Metoyer

Alfred Luke Metoyer, affectionately known as “Sonny” and “Johnny,” passed away on September 9, 2026, at the age of 85. He lived a life of service, hard work, kindness, and devotion to his family. Alfred proudly served in the United States Army during the Vietnam War. Following his military service, he continued serving his country by driving semi-trucks transporting hazardous materials for the Pueblo Army Depot. He later drove a school bus for District 70, where he was known for the care and attention he gave to the safety of the children entrusted to him. Alfred was a talented athlete and competitor. He was a track star, played baseball, and enjoyed bowling, pool, darts, and ping pong, earning recognition as a champion. He also enjoyed the simple things in life—watching football and old Westerns with a Pepsi nearby. Above all, Alfred loved his family. He was a quiet man who showed his love through his actions. His home was always welcoming, and he treated those who entered it like family. Alfred was preceded in death by his beloved wife, Valerie Metoyer; son, Telsie Metoyer; parents, Alfred and Nora Metoyer; aunt, Bertha LeGras; grandson, Ryan Metoyer; father and mother-in-law, Esteban and Jennie Rodriguez; and brothers- and sister-in-law, Deborah Rodriguez, Timothy Rodriguez, and Esteban “Toby” Rodriguez.

Alfred will be remembered for his service to his country and community, his strong work ethic, his kindness toward others, and the quiet and steady love he gave his family throughout his life.

The Rosary will begin at 9:30 a.m., followed by the Funeral Mass at 10:00 a.m. Burial will follow at Roselawn Cemetery.
