Edwards died Monday in his home in Gonzales, according to a family representative. He was 93-years-old. He is survived also by his four other children, Anna Edwards, Victoria Edwards, Stephen Edwards and David Edwards and David’s wife, Laura, and a host of grandchildren and great-grandchildren.

Remembering Edwin Edwards, a one-hour LPB special featuring the former Louisiana governor, will air on Monday, July 19 at 7 p.m. The special will be hosted by André Moreau and gives viewers a unique in-depth look at Edwards’ life and career.

The special will have an encore viewing on Sunday, July 25 at 3 p.m.

“The scope of LPB’s coverage during Edwards’ four-terms in office is remarkable. We are very fortunate to have a resource like Louisiana Digital Media Archive to house all of our historical footage so that it can be available for generations to come,” said LPB President & CEO Beth Courtney.
