Weldon Gebhard Obituary

Weldon Howard Gebhard Jr. passed away at his home on Wednesday, August 7, 2019 at the age of 82. Beloved husband of almost 60 years to Emily Louque Gebhard. Proud father of Sheradie Gebhard Tassin (Terry), Sean M. Gebhard (Nikki) and the late Wade D. Gebhard. Son of the late Weldon Gebhard Sr. and Mathilda Oramous Gebhard.

Also survived by his 16 great grandchildren and many nieces, nephews, cousins and friends. Weldon was a devoted Christian and family man. His many accomplishments include serving as Church Council President of Gethsemane Lutheran Church and President of the St. Bernard Chamber of Commerce. He also volunteered with the Junior Achievement Program along with serving as a mentor to many youth over the years. Weldon enjoyed many things; sailing, books, hunting, fishing, traveling but most of all he enjoyed his family.
