Louis was the beloved husband of Jennifer Merker (nee Roark). They were married for 14 years and shared 23 years together. He was a devoted son of the late Elsie and Louis C.

Lou is also survived by his cherished dogs, Katie and Toby, who brought him great joy and companionship. Lou enjoyed traveling, especially trips to Myrtle Beach, Disney World and his yearly cruise to the Bahamas.

He found happiness in simple pleasures-- working in his yard, following NASCAR, cheering for the Carolina Panthers, keeping his car spotless, and spending time with animals, which he truly loved.
