The tragedy has once again shaken the Faulk family, who suffered a similar loss in 2021 when their daughter Kevione died unexpectedly at just 19.
At the time, she was working as a student assistant within the LSU football program, a community with deep ties to the Faulks.
Tanasha‘s obituary highlights her devotion to her family, especially her role as a mother to her three young daughters, who were at the heart of her life.
“Being their mother brought her so much joy and she was immensely proud watching them grow and learn,” her obituary reads, according to the Acadiana Advocate.
“Tanasha also found joy in holidays, birthdays, family gatherings, and especially Mardi Gras. She loved to cook and was happiest when preparing meals that brought people together. Her generosity, laughter, and loving nature created a sense of home wherever she went.”
A 2014 graduate of Carencro High School, Tanasha followed in the footsteps of her father, who once led the school to a state championship as quarterback in 1992.
Her parents, Kevin and Latisha, have been together since their school days and also share a son, Kevin III.
Kevin Faulk, now 49, went on to become one of LSU’s most celebrated running backs, earning All-American recognition and setting the program’s all-time rushing record.

The sudden loss of Tanasha has led to an outpouring of sympathy from friends, former teammates, and the wider LSU community, all remembering a woman whose warmth and kindness left a lasting impact.
