John Peralta Obituary
Cecilia - John V. Peralta, a loving and devoted husband, father, grandfather, son and brother, passed away on Tuesday, February 25, 2025 in Breaux Bridge.
A visitation will take place at the funeral home in Cecilia on Friday, February 28, 2025 from 10:30 am until 8:30 pm.
Born on September 14, 1958, in New Orleans, Louisiana, John lived a life rich with love, laughter, and a passion for family and the great outdoors.
John was truly a southern gentleman with a heart as big as the bayous he adored. He was known as a "Jack of all Trades," able to fix just about anything. He happily lent a hand to anyone in need. John's vibrant spirit was fueled by his love for hunting and fishing, passions he enjoyed sharing with his family and friends.
Those who knew John best remember him as a dedicated family man. He cherished every moment spent with his loved ones, especially his children and grandchildren, whose sporting events brought him immense joy. Each grandchild was met with a unique nickname, a testament to his affection and the special bond he shared with each of them.
John will be greatly missed by all who knew and loved him.
He is survived by his wife of 43 years, Joanne "Jody" Peralta; sons, Kenny Cheramie (Tondra) and John Peralta, Jr. (Bridget); daughters, Jamie Bourgeois (Joe), Jessica Peralta and Jena Friedman (Nick); grandchildren, Tyler, Darian, Britten, Cole, Devin, Hannah, Jolie, Melisse, Sophia, Amelie, Gabriella, Val, Tucker, Ellie and Luke; great-grandchildren, Vayda, Braxton, Holland, Jaxon, Emery, Mila, Ziggy, Royce and Baylor; mothers, Eloise Marie Peralta and Betty Huval; brothers, Lorne Peralta (Juanita) and Fred Huval, Jr. (Monica); and sisters, Tondra Cheramie (Kenny) and Juanita Huval.
He is preceded in death by his father, Valrie John Peralta; step-father, Fred Huval, Sr.; and grandparents, Murphy and Mae Acosta, Aline and Alfred Ramirez and John Bela Peralta.
