On Saturday, April 14, Lafayette lost a man who for two decades was one its most powerful and influential political figures. Former District Attorney Nathan Stansbury died at the age of 77.
Survivors include his son, Craig Stansbury (Lafayette Parish Sheriff’s Department spokesman), and his wife Nicole; three grandchildren, Derek Stansbury, Sydney Stansbury and Kennedy Stansbury; one sister, Ann Redlich, and her husband Ted; one brother, Howard Stansbury Jr., and his wife Alice; one niece, Lisa Stansbury; and two nephews, Jeff Bennett and Stephen Bennett. …
Nathan successfully prosecuted Gilbert Gauthier, the parish priest convicted of child molestation, when there were many in the community who hoped to make what happened quietly go away without a visible trial.
