Kenny DesOrmeaux
Kenny DesOrmeaux, 55, of Abbeville, LA, passed away on April 10, 2022. He left us the way he lived: an absolute character and an undeniable legend. The true Kenny way.
He was born on November 5th, 1966 to Ellen and Farrell DesOrmeaux in Erath, LA. We will never forget his sense of humor, his ingenuity, and his brilliance of mind and spirit. One of his proudest achievements was creating his company—Offshore Cleaning Systems turned Ecoserv—and the opportunity it gave him as CEO to employ his family, his friends and his community. Over the years he developed several patents for innovations in the oil, gas and robotics industries. In 2020, he was named as a finalist for the Entrepreneur of the Year program by Ernst & Young.
His other greatest accomplishment was the family he built with his wife and love, Jamie DesOrmeaux who had 20 years of adventure with him. They fell for each other the day they met.
She will be keeping his legacy alive along with his six siblings and their spouses: Janice Stakes (Larry), Tommy DesOrmeaux (Kendra), Karen Ayo (Ted), Anne Asbill (Steve), Janine Miller (George) and Mary Breaux (Mike), along with his many friends, his two grandchildren, and his children Ellianna, Dustin, and his eldest, Savannah—who penned this homage. Kenny is joining his parents, his brother Mark and his niece Kelly on the other side. We know there is no way to fit a life so large in a message so brief, but we also know he would think obituaries are kind of corny anyway. He’s certainly on the other side laughing about the whole thing right now.
A Mass of Christian Burial for Kenny DesOrmeaux will be held at 2 p.m. on Wednesday, April 13, 2022 at St. Theresa Catholic Church with Fr. Francois Sainte-Marie officiating.
Visitation will be held at David Funeral Home of Abbeville on Wednesday, April 13, 2022 from 10 a.m. until the time of the services with a recitation of the rosary at 12:30 p.m.
