An 84-year-old man, Wilbert Ray LaFleur, a lifelong resident of Mamou, passed away on Thursday, June 30, 2022. His passing was not the result of a violent crime, and therefore no arrests were made. He was a retired custodian from Mamou High School and had also served his community as a Deputy with the Evangeline Parish Sheriff's Department for many years.
LaFleur was known as a kind, humble, and loving man who never met a stranger and always had a smile for everyone.
He was an avid fisherman, and when he wasn't on the lake, he could be found watching fishing shows or spending cherished time with his grandchildren, who were his pride and joy. His family and friends will dearly miss him.
