Lawrence Abel

LeBouef

Lawrence was a hardworking, strong-willed man who lived life on his own terms. He dedicated his career to drywall and construction and took great pride in his work.

Though known for being stubborn and sometimes difficult, those closest to him knew he cared deeply and always wanted to do his best.

Outside of work, he enjoyed fishing, riding his Harley-Davidson, and cheering for University of Memphis basketball. He was also proud of his Cajun roots.

He was preceded in death by his parents, Elwood and Bernice LeBouef.

Lawrence is survived by his daughter, Jeanne-Marie LeBouef; and sister Carolyn Murray.

To his daughter, Jeanne-Marie, Lawrence was much more than his work and hobbies. He was her father, teacher, protector, and one of the most important people in her life.

Through him, she learned hard work, determination, perseverance, and the importance of standing her ground.

Lawrence will be remembered for his strong spirit, work ethic, stubborn determination, love of the open road, proud Cajun heart, and, most of all, the love he gave his daughter.

He was truly one of a kind and will be deeply missed.
