Thomas Hebert Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers from May 26 to May 28, 2021.
Thomas George "Tommy" "Buford" Hebert, March 30, 1959 – May 25, 2021. Thomas George "Buford" Hebert of Port Allen, Louisiana, was called home by his loving father Tuesday evening on May 25th, 2021 surrounded by his loving family at Our Lady of the Lake Regional Medical Center. Thomas was raised in Brusly, Louisiana and was a graduate of Redemptorist High School class of 1977. He went on to work as a plant operator with Westlake Chemical, formally Georgia Gulf, for 37 years until his retirement in 2019. From an early age Thomas enjoyed many passions. He was an avid hunter and fisherman. He also spent much of his life learning about and raising livestock through his mentor, the late Mr. Louis Mouch, Sr., even serving office in the Louisiana Cattleman's Association in West Baton Rouge Parish. He loved spending time with his family and friends especially his three grandchildren, Roman, Emma and Kane. He loved to cook and always cooked for an army. Everything he made was excellent, but we will especially miss his red beans. Anyone who had the chance to know Thomas would agree that he was truly one of a kind. His satisfaction for the little things in life is a quality everyone should strive for. Thomas is proceeded in death by his grandson, Blitz Kosienski; maternal grandparents, Thomas and Corrine Johnson; paternal grandfather, George Hebert; paternal grandmother, Norma Heck Hebert. Thomas is survived by his loving wife of 29 years, June K. Hebert; parents Wiley Sr. and Marie Hebert; brother, Todd Hebert and his wife Michelle; brother, Wiley Hebert Jr. "B" and his wife Stephanie; sister, Susan Robillard and her husband Tim; son, Buford Hebert; daughter; Lacy Kosienski and her husband James; daughter Marie Derrickson and her husband Jack; 2 grandsons, Roman and Kane Kosienski; granddaughter, Emma Hebert and numerous nieces and nephews as well as extended family and friends. Visitation with cremains will be held at St. John the Baptist Catholic Church, 402 S. Kirkland, Brusly, LA, 70719, on Friday, May 28, 2021, from 11:00 AM until Mass of Christian Burial at 2:00 PM. Ashes to be interred at a later date. In lieu of flowers, friends may make memorial contributions to St. John the Baptist Church Building Fund. P.O. Box 248, Brusly, LA 70719. The family would like to extend a special thanks to the Nuro Critical Care Unit doctors, nurses and staff at OLOL Hospital for the phenomenal care they gave Tommy and compassion they showed the family.

June & Family,
We were so sorry to hear about Tommy, our prayers are with you and your family during this difficult time.

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.

Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."

It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man.

God gave me a list of things that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.

When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.

I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.

There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.

If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.

So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.

And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.
