Tragic Passing of a Comedy Icon
A famous New Orleans comedian, Mutzie Daniel Forestier, has died of a sudden heart-related issue. Forestier, known for his Christian comedy routines, passed away last weekend after suffering a medical emergency.
Tribute from His Son
Forestier’s son, Newman, posted on the comedian’s Facebook page to share the heartbreaking news, saying the family is “heartbroken, but we know he’s at peace now.” Newman described his father as a “deeply spiritual man” who carried his faith with him at all times.
Forestier’s Charitable Work
In addition to his comedy career, Mutzie was known for his extensive charity work. While performing on Carnival Cruise ships, he started a program to donate food and gifts to underprivileged children in Progreso, Mexico. He also regularly donated the proceeds from his CD and DVD sales to those in need.
Legacy and Impact
Forestier was a two-time New Orleans Entertainer of the Year and was recently named the Christian Comedian of the Year. His son noted that despite his charitable spirit, Forestier did not have life insurance, prompting the family to start a fundraiser to cover his funeral expenses.
Remembering a True Giver
Newman described his father as a “true giver” whose “generosity knew no bounds.” Mutzie’s faith and desire to spread joy through his comedy and acts of kindness have left a lasting impact on his community and all those he encountered.
