Jesse John Larive, 75, a resident of Berwick, passed away September 22, 2015.

Jesse was born on March 15, 1940, in Lafayette, La , the son of Justin and 
Beulah Larive. Jesse was raised in Jeanerette, La but has been a resident of 
the tri-city area for more than 50 years.

He was an avid sports fan who loved hunting, fishing, and traveling to McNeese 
University football games in the 1980s where his son played football and his 
daughter was a member of the band.

Jesse was a proud member of our local chapter of the American Legion. In the 
late 50's and early 60's, Jesse served in the Navy aboard the destroyer Leonard 
F. Mason, part of the Pacific fleet. Jesse was also a member of the East St. 
Mary Parish Funeral Squad. He was also very proud of his 1958 Golden Glove 
boxing championship, and on one occasion, boxed in what is now Shannon 
Elementary School. Most of all, Jesse was proud of his family and will be 
remembered for the nicknames he gave to them; Honey, Tootsie, Brother, Jonni 
Cake, and Pumpkin.

He will be sadly missed and lovingly remembered by his four children; Jeslyn 
Angeron and husband Danny of Berwick, Lane Larive and wife Laura of Patterson, 
Jonni Wilkinson and husband Nathan of Patterson, Marae Playe and husband 
Raymond of East Providence, R.I.; seven grandchildren, Shannon Navarro, Brad 
Angeron, Megan Larive, Luke Larive , Hailey Wilkinson, Kathryn Wilkinson and 
Daniel Playe; two great-grandchildren, Lauren Navarro and Emma Navarro; one 
sister, Sherry Bradley of Jeanerette; three brothers, James Larive and Justin 
Larive Jr. of Jeanerette; and Doney Larive of Houston, Tx.

Jesse was preceded in death by his wife Carolyn Robicheaux Larive; his parents, 
Justin Larive Sr. and Beulah Larive; and a twin brother who passed away shortly 
after birth, Gerald Larive.

Visitation will be held Thursday, October 1, 2015 from 9AM until 11AM at Twin 
City Funeral Home. A memorial service will begin Thursday, October 1, 2015 at 
11AM at Twin City Funeral Home. 

Jesse will be laid to rest in the Berwick Mausoleum following the services.

The Larive family would like to extend a special thanks to Dr. Lianter Albert, 
Patterson Health Care, and Heart of Hospice for the caring support.
