To remember the man that Courtlin was is to be reminded that good people still do exist in this world. On June 7, 2025, Courtlin Joseph Greis departed this life at the age of 40 in Roanoke, LA. He was born on December 17, 1984, to Brian Alfred and Stephanie Arceneaux in Lake Charles, LA. From an early age, Courtlin accepted Christ as his Lord and Savior and was a member of Our Lady of Perpetual Help Catholic Church until his unexpected transition from his earthly home.

"Joe", as he was affectionately referred to by many, attended Jennings High School where his natural born talent in sports led him to set multiple records and become a legend that many still speak about. Although scouted by numerous colleges, Courtlin decided to stay close to home and attended McNeese State University where he continued doing what he loved on the football field. After God blessed him with three beautiful children, he kickstarted his career which ultimately led him to find a passion in the heavy equipment industry. To nobody's surprise, Joe once again climbed the ladder of success very quickly, especially in the crane world, and found a final work home as Regional Operations Manager at Vivot Equipment Corporation. He not only set an undeniable standard of excellence at Vivot, but also met the love of his life whom he later went on to marry and start a beautiful life with along with her two children. With almost all of his goals being accomplished, the final one of starting his own business became a reality and one that he took extreme pride and dedication in until he took his final breath.

Joe had a huge personality that had the superpower of bringing out the best in anyone he came in contact with. His smile was one that could light up even the darkest of rooms, and his dedication and love for his family and friends should be a guide for the world to follow.

Courtlin leaves to mourn his memories, his loving and devoted wife, Raven Greis, proud parents, Stephanie Arceneaux and Brian Keith Alfred (DeAnna Alfred), treasured paternal grandmother Alice Alfred, beautiful children, Serenity Greis, Keyle Moreau, Coy Moreau, Prince-Eden Love, and Taityana Evans (Krischian McClain), beloved grandchildren Leiana "Leibugg" Love and Krischian "Junie" McClain, Jr., godson Gavyn Jayce Taylor, goddaughter Ava Julianne Ethridge, cherished siblings Eric (Ashlei) Arceneaux, Colby Arceneaux, Kimberly (Malcomb) Thomas, Shaunetelle Arceneaux, Latesha Arceneaux, DeLicia Alfred, Earlesha McZeal, Jessica Alfred, Kassandra Moore, Brittany Alfred, Brionne Alfred, Jhavonne (Creighten) Guillory, Tracy Moore, Rakeitha Alfred, Keith Alfred II, Julius Alfred, Kaden Alfred, and a host of aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews, cousins, brothers from other mothers, and friends .

He was preceded in death by his adored stepfather Albert Arceneaux, Jr., paternal step-grandfather Albert Arceneaux, Sr., paternal step-grandmother Dorothy Arceneaux, paternal grandfather,  Peter Alfred, maternal grandfather Philip Laurence Handy, maternal grandmother Betty Ann Batiste, and brother James Redo.
