The Daily Iberian. October 2016

A Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated for Roy Anthony Pete, age 78, 
at 1:30 p.m. Tuesday, October 25, 2016, at St. Peter’s Catholic Church. Fr. 
Alexander Albert will be the celebrant.

Mr. Pete will be laid to rest at Holy Family Mausoleum.  He will be honored 
by both the New Iberia Fire Department for his years of service and by the 
Iberia Veterans Honor Guard with full military honors.

A gathering of family and friends will be held at Evangeline Funeral Home on 
Monday from 2 p.m. until 9 p.m., with the Rosary being prayed at 6:30 p.m. 
The funeral home will reopen on Tuesday from 8 a.m. until 1 p.m.

Roy was born April 7, 1938, in New Iberia to the late Albert Pete and the 
late Carmen Dugas Pete. He passed away peacefully on Saturday, October 22, 
2016, in New Iberia with his family at his side.

Mr. Pete was retired as a captain with the New Iberia Fire Department after 
28 years of service. Upon his retirement he enrolled full time at UL, 
receiving his Bachelor’s Degree in General Studies, and did freelance 
journalism for short while. Outside of his work and studies, Roy enjoyed 
traveling the United States with his favorite destination being New York 
City. But what brought him the most joy was just being with family and 
friends. He enjoyed a good laugh and had the “joie de vivre” about him. He 
will be missed dearly.

He is survived by his wife of 56 years, Lucy Bourque Pete; his children, 
Gregory M. Pete and wife Joleen, and Suzette P. Romero and husband Stoney, 
all of New Iberia; his grandchildren, Trent Romero and wife Heidi, Stormy 
Romero, Spencer Pete and wife Lani, Emily Pete, Christopher Peter, Leah 
Girard, Phillip Girard and Peyton Sellers; 12 great grandchildren; and his 
brothers, Raymond Pete and wife Ann of Loreauville and Billy Pete and wife 
Sylvia of New Iberia.

Along with his parents, he was preceded in death by his son, Dave 
Christopher Pete; his in-laws, Leonice and Idolie Romero Bourque; and a 
brother, Jimmy Pete.

Evangeline Funeral Home of New Iberia, 364-1881, is in charge of 
arrangements.
