He is predeceased by his father, Paul Thibodeaux of Breaux Bridge, La.; mother, Una Thibodeaux, also from Breaux Bridge, La.; brother, Joe Thibodeaux of Fort Worth, Texas; sisters, Stella Thibodeaux of Fort Worth, Texas, and Rheanne Thibodeaux of Breaux Bridge, La. 

He leaves  behind brothers Paul Thibodeaux of Tucson, Ariz., and Donald Thibodeaux of Breaux Bridge, La. Additionally, he is survived by sisters, Josephine Thibodeaux of Breaux Bridge and Sr. Sylvia Thibodeaux of New Orleans, La. 

He is also survived by his wife of 52 years, Gloria Ann Thibodeaux and his two sons, Kelly Thibodeaux and Ronald D. Thibodeaux, as well as four grandchildren, all who reside in Houston, Texas.

Ronald James Thibodeaux was a devoted husband and father who loved his family greatly. He retired in 2005 from a stellar career as a master level AC /refrigeration technician  with General Electric after more than 30 years of award winning service and contract sales. He was known among his family and friends as the comedian and life of all family gatherings. He was truly a Louisiana cowboy at heart with a indelible personality and sense of humor. A fan of all things New York Yankees and Dallas Cowboys. 

Many have stated he was “one of a kind.” He lived life well. Loved well and he knew that he was surrounded by the love of his wife and sons at his passing. We are ultimately left heavy hearted  from this great and painful loss, but look forward to being reunited again with him in The Most High’s Kingdom.
