Rusty was born on November 24, 1935, to Joseph and Maize LeBouef in Port Arthur, Texas, and passed away on Thursday, September 25, 2025, in Shreveport, Louisiana.
Rusty was a retired Air Force Master Sargent and served 27 years for his country. He was stationed at Keesler Air Force Base in Biloxi, Mississippi, and had tours in Turkey.
Rusty was a very loving husband, father, and grandfather. He never met a stranger and loved everyone. He was a very positive, funny, and upbeat person and never complained about anything.
The Good Lord took him from us, which has been the hardest season we've walked through, yet we have not walked it alone. He will be missed going forth, and we will have fond and wonderful memories of him to cherish.
Rusty was preceded in death by his parents, Joseph and Maize LeBouef; brothers, Ronnie James LeBouef, Donald Clyde LeBouef, and Larry Lawrence LeBouef; and sister, Charlotte Elaine Romero. Left to cherish his memory are his loving wife, Brenda LeBouef; daughters, Linda Fraizer, Natalie Dauterive, Kelly Toys, and Tonya Arnold; grandchildren, Miranda James, J.T. Toys, Wesley Adams, Taylor Arnold, Madison Arnold; great-grandchildren, Lucy Toys, Addison Toys, Axel Adams, and Tallulah Adams; brother, Patrick LeBouef, and sister, Shirley LeBouef.
Honoring Rusty as pallbearers will be Taylor Arnold, Jay Arnold, J.T. Toys, Wesley Adams, Kevin Dunn, and Allen Fraiser.
The family suggests memorials may be made to the Tunnels to Towers Foundation, www.t2t.org.
