Earl S. Robicheaux Jr., 68, passed away peacefully at his residence in New Iberia on Thursday, August 15, 2024, surrounded by his loved ones. Earl was a devoted family man who cherished the time spent with his children and grandchildren, always making it a point to support their endeavors and cheer them on, particularly in sports. He was happily married to his wife Debra Racca Robicheaux for 49 years and together they raised three children. His love for family extended beyond his immediate household, as he was also a beloved grandfather who rarely missed a sporting event involving his grandchildren. Earl’s presence in the stands was a testament to his unwavering support and encouragement.

An avid fan of football, Earl passionately supported his two favorite teams, the LSU Tigers and the New Orleans Saints. He also enjoyed the simple pleasures of life, like spending time with his little dog Tiger and indulging in his favorite pastime – fishing. Earl’s passion for fishing was unparalleled; he found joy and relaxation by the water, always looking forward to the next big catch. His fishing trips often culminated in delightful fish fries with his catch, creating cherished memories with family and friends. Earl’s warm spirit and love for the outdoors will be deeply missed by all who knew him.

Robicheaux III (Dusti) of Delcambre, Kyle Robicheaux (Lyrical) of New Iberia; four grandchildren, Juliana Delahoussaye, Jordyn Delahoussaye, Gabrielle Robicheaux, Earl “Stephen” Robicheaux IV; stepmother Barbara Migues; siblings Linda Pontiff, Karen Ashton, Beth Romero, Robyn Delcambre, Tracy Martin, Mark Robicheaux and Timmy Robicheaux.
