Robert Dale LeBlanc

Robert Dale LeBlanc, affectionately known as “Dale” to his family and friends, passed away on Thursday, October 5, 2023 while fishing, his favorite past time. He was 62 years old at his passing.
Dale was born on January 18, 1961 in Erath, LA to the late Louie Luke LeBlanc and Dolores Campbell LeBlanc. He was an avid outdoorsman who enjoyed camping, hunting and most of all fishing. He would often tell his family, I’m going to the office, and off he went on his side by side to his favorite boat dock on the back of his property.
Like most Cajuns, he had a love for cooking and his family remembers the delicious pot roast, gumbos, chili’s and pots of spaghetti that he would prepare for them. After his retirement from working offshore as an Able Seaman and skilled crane operator, he assisted his sister, Jenny at her restaurant, RiverFront in Abbeville. Of course, a good laugh was shared about his love for ice cream and a late night Sonic Blasts run.
A talented wood worker, Dale made furniture including, beds, bookshelves and rockers with precision and attention to details. He also enjoyed Classic Country Saturday Night blaring for all the neighbors to hear and dragging anyone with him on a shopping trip.
Rest in peace, Dale, we will rejoice in the knowledge that you are resting in the glorious kingdom of heaven.
Survivors include his children, Zachary Luke LeBlanc and wife Kristen and Kiley Karen LeBlanc; his grandchildren, Kinley Rae LeBlanc and Kayden Luke LeBlanc; his mother, Dolores Campbell LeBlanc; sister, Jenny LeBlanc and Brian Rush and his long time fiancé, Judy Bodin Thibodeaux.
A Mass of Christian Burial celebrating Dale’s life will be held on Friday, October 13, 2023 at 10:00 am at Our Lady of the Lake Catholic Church with Fr. Buddy Breaux officiating. Dale will be laid to rest with his father, privately at a later date.
