Weston Parfait, the 6-year-old survivor of a horrific and fatal attack this September, has been named the 2026-2027 Krewe of Hercules Grand Marshall– the youngest in the krewe’s history.
Earlier this month, the Terrebonne Parish Sheriff responded to the 200 block of Ashland Drive, where a young boy suffering from apparent stab wounds.
As the investigation continued, the story unraveled: the boy, Weston Parfait had escaped a nearby house after witnessing four of his family members be killed by an intruder, now identified as Kaegan Jude Solet, 47, of Houma. Despite suffering a stab wound himself, Weston was able to alert his neighbors to the situation and secure critical help resulting in Solet’s arrested.
After weeks of intensive recovery, Weston returned home safely in late September. Now, he is being recognized for his exceptional bravery, as the Krewe of Hercules names him their 2026-2027 Grand Marsha– in recognition of the remarkable little boy whose courage, resilience, and extraordinary spirit have touched the hearts of our entire community.
