Daniel (“Dan”) Thomas Flavin, a prominent Louisiana-based real estate executive who served in his state’s legislature, passed away on June 6 at the age of 67 after a brief illness.
Born in Joliet, Illinois, on May 31, 1957, Flavin graduated from McNeese State University in Lake Charles, Louisiana. Flavin was a second-generation realtor – his father, William “Bill” Flavin, co-founded Flavin Realty in 1972, with the younger Flavin buying the company upon his father’s retirement. Flavin’s son Beau bought the company in 2018.
Within the real estate industry, Flavin served as a chairman of the Louisiana Real Estate Commission and president of the Greater Calcasieu Board of Realtors; he was also active with the National Association of Realtors and Louisiana Realtors Association, serving as a trustee with the latter organization.
Outside of real estate, Flavin served in the Louisiana House of Representatives from 1996 to 2005. He was also active in Lake Charles’ Our Lady Queen of Heaven Parish and St. Louis Catholic High School and received the honor of Knight of the Order of St. Gregory the Great from Pope Benedict XVI in 2010.
