He was 90.
Paul was not just a farmer but a man of many joys. He loved riding his side-by-side, camping, playing cards with friends, and most importantly, spending time with his beloved family. He was a rice farmer and cattle rancher at heart who also devoted 27 years of service to the Vermilion Parish Police Jury. His laughter and generous spirit will be missed by all who knew him.

Serving as pallbearers will be Lucas Hebert, Jace Hebert, Lane Hebert, Slade Hebert, Grant Callahan, and Dylan Callahan. Honorary pallbearers will be his great grandchildren.
He is survived by his wife of 44 years, Deborah "Debbie" Hebert of Kaplan; seven children, Richard James Hebert of Evening Shade, AR; Roger Dale Hebert (Elaine) of Kaplan; Randall Gerard Hebert of Kaplan; Russell Jude Hebert (Schalacey) of Kaplan; Tracy Lynn Broussard of Kaplan; Scott Paul Callahan of Dallas, TX, and Anthony John Callahan (Suzanne) of Evangeline; 11 grandchildren, Megan, Sara, Lucas, Jace, Jenny, Lane, Slade, Dansi, Kilee, Grant, and Dylan; 12 great grandchildren, Kalie, Nokey, Sophia, Cale, Adalyn, Rylie, Lundon, Leighton, Jr., Dakota, Emri, Ahnni, and Ina; and two great-great grandchildren, Denver and River.
