The Lafayette Journal & Courier is reporting an awful piece of news: Lafayette attorney Charlie Deets died in a house fire.
Veteran Lafayette attorney Charles R. Deets III died this morning in a fire at his home.
Deets, 62, was one of three adults in the home at 7315 Greenview Drive off Pretty Prairie Road when the fire broke out about 1:30 a.m.
A man and woman who lived in the home with Deets escaped, along with a dog.
. . .
Deets, who had been in ill health, recently closed his law office in Lafayette, ending a 37-year career.
That’s just awful. Charlie had been having his problems in recent years, but he was never anything but friendly to me. I never had the opportunity to work with or against him directly, but those who knew him in his prime have told me he was an excellent attorney. Rest in Peace Charlie.
