Patrick Waguespack Obituary

Patrick Joseph Waguespack passed away peacefully at his home in Destrehan on Wednesday morning, June 10, 2020. He was 74 years old. Beloved husband of Pamela Maureau Waguespack of over 37 years. Loving father of Douglas Waguespack. Brother of Leonce P. Waguespack Jr. (Linda), Debbie W. Johnson (Mark), and the late Catherine W. Cook (John). Son of the late Leonce P. Waguespack Sr. and Mabel Ledet Waguespack. Brother-in-law of Patricia and Marlin Gonzales. Also survived by many nieces and nephews. "Pat" was a native of the Westbank and graduated from West Jefferson High School. After high school, he enlisted in the United States Air Force, serving 1964 through 1970 during the Vietnam War. He achieved the rank of Sergeant after six years of service to his country. After the military, he joined the Jefferson Parish Sheriff's Office, and later worked as a clerk for the United States Postal Service, where he retired after 28 years of dedicated service. Pat and Pam were longtime residents of Destrehan, and enjoyed going fishing with each other as often as possible. They have been faithful members of St. Charles United Methodist Church for over 22 years. Pat will be dearly missed by all, especially his faithful companion Teddy. Relatives and friends of the family are invited to attend an outdoor Memorial to celebrate his life at St. Charles United Methodist Church, 1905 Ormond Boulevard, Destrehan, on Thursday evening, June 18, 2020 at 5:00. Those attending please remember to wear a mask and are encouraged to bring a lawn chair for the service. An online guestbook is available at www.leitzeaganfuneralhome.com.
