The Engine Stops: A Community Stunned by a Sudden Silence

The Baton Rouge community is reeling from the sudden passing of one of its most prominent and passionate figures, David Larguier Fabre, owner of Acura and Infiniti of Baton Rouge. Fabre, 68, went to his eternal rest on October 28, 2025, leaving a devastating silence where his “larger-than-life personality” once thrived. While his official obituary is a beautiful tribute to a life of integrity and kindness, the shock of losing a man so integral to the local business landscape—a figure who seemed perpetually defined by his vigor and conviction—is profoundly felt. The realization that such a vibrant life can be halted so abruptly is the true, heartbreaking shock of this moment.
