In loving memory of Chris LeBlanc, whose life was a testament to resilience, kindness, and laughter. Chris had a strong Christian faith and went home to see his Lord and Savior on July 4, 2024.

From a young age, Chris showed exceptional promise as a straight-A student. However, a tragic motorcycle accident in his early twenties altered his path, leaving him with enduring challenges. Undeterred, Chris faced adversity with remarkable courage, eventually graduating from the University of Southwestern Louisiana (USL) with a degree in Industrial Technology. He held many different jobs throughout his working life including offshore and welding experience.

Throughout his independent bachelor years, Chris continued to bring immense joy to his family and friends. Known for his beaming smile, he was always ready with a joke or a priceless story that lit up any room. In his later years, Chris found solace in the devoted care of his two sisters, Sandy and Cathy, who lovingly supported him.

Chris was preceded in death by his parents, Paul Whitney "Wayne" LeBlanc and Barbara Leger LeBlanc Vincent;  and his grandparents, Milton and Louda LeBlanc, and George and Therese Leger. He leaves behind a family who adored him, including his two sisters Sandy LeBlanc Jones (Randy) and Cathy LeBlanc (Buck Billeaud), nephew Cody Jones, niece Cassie Jones, and two great nieces, Audrey and Nyla Jones.

He will be dearly missed by his aunts, uncles, many cousins, and a wide circle of friends whose lives he touched profoundly. 

In lieu of flowers, the family requests that a donation be given to The Desormeaux Foundation, 1331 Jefferson St, Lafayette La 70501. (337)-289-9366, in honor of Chris LeBlanc.
