Gerald Earl Breaux, Sr.
Gerald Earl Breaux, Sr, 72, went to be with his Heavenly Father on June 24, 2016. He was born on March 28, 1944 in Breaux Bridge, Louisiana and he was a lifelong resident of Orange County. Gerald graduated from Bridge City High School and married the love of his life, Ethel Breaux, June 7, 1964.
Gerald was a long time member of Grace Luthern Church in Orange, Texas and he was also a member of Cowboy Church Orange County. He retired from Great Lakes Carbon in Port Arthur after 23 years of employment.
Gerald's great wisdom and warmth was matched by his great love for his family. He was a devoted father, grandfather, great grand-father, and uncle to everyone. He is lovingly remembered for his love of fishing, the love of his cars and trucks, manicured lawn, and his greatest love was his family.
Gerald is preceded in death by his infant son, Joseph Lawrence Breaux. He is survived by his mother and father, Merjie and Curley Breaux. His loving wife Ethel Breaux, his son Gerald Earl Breaux, Jr. and wife Nina Breaux, his daughter Missy Breaux Walles and husband Terry Walles, his grandson Hunter Allen Felts and great grandson Cameron Felts.
Pall Bearers will be David Breaux, Hunter Felts, Dale Breaux, David Darby, Adam Fields, and Gerald Breaux, Jr. Honorary Pall Bearers are Damian Craig, John Darby, and Tristan Breaux.
A gathering of family and friends will be held Thursday June 30, 2016 at 12:00pm at Claybar Funeral Home in Bridge City. Graveside service will follow immediately after the celebration of his life at Hillcrest Memorial Gardens, Bridge City, Texas.

Aunt Ethel, Missy and Jerry...I will be thinking about you all tomorrow. New Orleans is close but not close enough for me to make it tomorrow. Double hugs for all of you. I know you will miss him. Uncle Gerald was always kind and patient with all of us growing up... Even when we did not deserve it. Especially when we ( Jerry, David, Edward and Tina) filled our pockets with candy from Big Red Pantry without paying. (We had to clean yards to pay for it)
