Kevin Robichaux Obituary

On Friday, November 27, 2015, Kevin was taken home by God. Though our hearts are saddened by his unexpected departure, we can find peace in knowing that he is home with our Heavenly Father. "To live is Christ and to die is gain, Phil 1:21." Kevin was the devoted father of Maliyah Robichaux, and the late Kylee Robichaux. He was the loving husband of Stephanie Robichaux. Son of Alvin and Shelly Robichaux. Son in law of Phillip and Debbie Raymond. Grandson of Florence Dolly Carter and the late Wilson Carter. Brother of Shaun and Johnathan Robichaux. He leaves to cherish his memories a host of aunts, uncles, cousins, nieces, nephews, and friends. Kevin was a great man of God and had the heart of a servant. He was an amazing and dedicated father. He was a warmhearted and passionate husband. Kevin was the light of many lives and his smile will live on in our hearts forever. Relatives and friends are invited to join in a celebration of his life on Thursday, December 3, 2015, at Celebration Church, 2001 Airline Drive, Metairie, Louisiana 70001. Visitation from 10:00 am to 12:00 pm with Funeral Services to follow. Immediate family may arrive at 9:00 am. Condolences may be offered online at www.leitzeaganfuneralhome.com.

Hey, man. Just wanted to say sorry I wasn't around much. I wanted to be, it just wasn't in the cards for me to have the means. It feels like just yesterday i was telling you about my big move to the west coast and how I'll always have a spot for you to crash when you visit. I've been moving up quick in this company, I know it must be you looking out for me somehow, as you always have... Well, I miss you brother. I feel you're presence motivating to be the best i can plus some everyday.

I found this and hope it gives you some peace.

As I sit in Heaven
And watch over you everyday,
I try to let you know with signs
I never went away.
I hear you when you're laughing,
And watch you when you sleep.
I even place my arms around you,
To calm you as you weep.
I see you wish the days away,
Begging to have me home.
So I try to send you signs,
So you know you're not alone.
Don't feel guilty that you have
Life that was denied me.
Heaven is truly beautiful,
Just you wait and see.
So live your life, be free.
And know with every breath you take
You'll be taking one for me.

Kevin Michael Robichaux, my baby brother. I answered the phone, not knowing life had already changed forever. My soul has been split in two. One of the most selfless, caring, and loving souls to walk this earth. You've given much more than I'll ever be able to give.
Those early mornings riding bikes to Killer hill, playing baseball, football, basketball and our favorite, cantaro. We did everything together, Shaun leading the way, you never let us down "Whitey" with that one of a kind smile. The kind of smile that would make a rough day a little smoother.
I remember our conversations in the early morning, on my way to work. I'll keep my promise, brother. I'll hold on to those words forever.
You've come to my rescue so many tines.. Now I have you standing beside me, giving me the motivation I always need. Kevin, you proved to me that, "it will be alright, cuzz!" I can hear you saying that right now.
Watch over us and come visit me in my dreams again. I'll see you on the One brother. I love you with everything in me.

Loving and missing you forever,
Jewel, Ina, and Roe

My husband and I met the Robichaux family in 1999, and we were honored to be part of their Christmases and other family occasions because we were living far from our own families in Michigan and Pennsylvania. From Kevin's bright, funny, sweet personality, his brothers' kind acceptance, Shelly's macaroni and cheese, Al's gumbo with potato salad, Buddha the pug, and so many more memories, we will never forget the love and kindness of the entire family. Our hearts weep with you in this terrible loss. Only the knowledge that a "forever together" awaits later makes it bearable. Endless hugs to you all.
