Richard Joseph Bergeron, 75, a native of Chauvin and resident of Sabine Pass, 
Texas, passed away Sunday, Jan. 27, 2013, at the Medical Center of Southeast 
Texas.

Visitation will be from 10:30 a.m. until funeral time Friday at St. Joseph 
Catholic Church in Chauvin. 
A memorial Mass will be at 11:30 a.m. Friday following the visitation.

He is survived by his wife, Diane Bergeron; son, Robbie and wife, Diane 
Bergeron; daughters, Jessica and husband, Robert Boudreaux, Debbie and husband, 
Kenny Rodgers, Kim Bergeron and companion, Greg Sonnier, and Kristie and 
husband, Jody Anderson; brother, James "Boo" Bergeron; sisters, Carmer Falgout, 
Marlene Champagne and Claudette Bascle; stepsons, Jerry, Jason and Jonah 
Rivera; 10 grandchildren; 12 great-grandchildren; and 11 step-grandchildren.

He was preceded in death by his parents, Claude and Pearl Thibodeaux Bergeron.

Richard was a commercial fisherman, master boat builder for the past 60 years 
and a resident of Sabine Pass, Texas, for the last 30 years. He was a member of 
Sabine Pass Christian Fellowship and was on the church board.

He lived his life for the love of God and family. If you crossed his path, you 
became his friend. His love of the sea made him the man he came to be and with 
his devotion to his land came fulfillment and peace. 
A master craftsman, he could fix anything. Any task you put before him, you 
best believe he would complete. A shrimper, cowboy, jack of all trades, man of 
many stories and many glories and a smile that could light your day.

He was a loving husband, father, grandfather and friend. He was a man who will 
be missed and remembered in our hearts forever!
