JOHN CIDNEY LANDREAU

MIDLAND CITY… John Cidney Landreau, a resident of Midland City, Alabama, passed away Friday afternoon, March 21, 2025, at his home. He was 82.

Memorial services will be held 6:00 P.M. Tuesday, March 25, 2025, at Wright Funeral Home & Crematory Chapel with Pastor Evan Kohen and Reverend Charles Goldsmith officiating. A eulogy will be given by his cousin, Jimmy Landreau. The family will receive friends from 5:00 until 6:00 P.M. prior to the service. Wright Funeral Home & Crematory is in charge of the arrangements.

Mr. Landreau was born in Hatchechubbee, Alabama to the late Elbert Cidney Landreau and Mary Etta Sanders Landreau. He was a graduate of Russell County High School. He was employed as a laborer and logger all his life. He has lived in the Wiregrass area for thirty-four years.

Mr. John was known for his unwavering love for New York Yankees baseball and Alabama football. These two teams were his constants, and he always found time to cheer them on. His heart loved the roar of the crowd of Yankees games and the triumphs of Alabama’s football team.

When he wasn’t watching a game, you could find him outdoors, enjoying the simple pleasures of life. His love for fishing and hunting were second only to his devotion to his dogs, who were always by his side. The bond he shared with his pets was one of true companionship, as they joined him on many of his outdoor adventures.

But beyond his love for sports and nature, Mr. John had a deep affection for his family. His greatest pride and joy were working tirelessly to support and care for his loved ones. He understood the value of hard work and instilled this same dedication in his family, always striving to provide for them, no matter the challenges life presented.

In addition to his parents, he is preceded in death by a sister, Bertha Landreau Johnston; five brothers, Wilber Preston Landreau, Elbert Glen Landreau, Clarence Eugene Landreau, Raymond Luther Landreau, and Herman David Landreau.

Surviving relatives include his wife, Carol Landreau; his son, Kelly Landreau (Laci); his step-son, Kevin Suggs of Cullman; his two grandchildren, Audri Landreau and Aftin Landreau; his nephews, Scott Landreau and Page Landreau; his niece, Susan Landreau; his special cousin, Jimmy Landreau; and his many other loving family members and friends.

Serving as honorary pallbearers will be Austin Hill, Blake Walden, Bryan Peters, Chris Mason, David Dozier, Heath Morehead, and Ryan Hammond.
