Obituaries for the children:
Lloyd Lucius Pitre: Galveston Daily News
(Galveston, TX), 25 May 2019: Our deeply beloved father, Lloyd
Lucius Pitre ('Pete'), passed away peacefully on May 14th, 2019 at
his home in Texas City, Texas. Known for his hard work and gentle
fatherhood, Pete now reunites with his heavenly Father and his beloved wife
Helen, after a 93-year-long journey of faith, sacrifice, and love. Born to
Morris and Amy Pitre in 1925, Pete as a young child spent his early
mornings working on the family farm, before setting his fishing lines for the
day, then riding his horse to school. As the oldest of 4 siblings, he
carried a lot of responsibilities to help support his family. Upon
graduating high school, Pete contributed to the WWII effort by joining the U.S.
Army Transport Service. In his travels across the Pacific, Pete met a
beautiful Filipino girl named Helen, who would be his wife for the next
68 years. The two married, started a life together back in Oberlin,
Louisiana, and later Lake Charles, where they lived for over 50 years.
With great blessings came great responsibility; Pete studied electronics, was in
the television and radio service business, then eventually operated Ralph’s
Industrial Electronics Supply for 35 years to provide for his growing family.
Out of love and dedication, he and Helen were able to put all 7 of their
children through 12 years of private Catholic school and shepherded each one of
them into the faith. He continued to serve his wife until her death in
2018, proving his deep, formidable love for his family. As his children,
our favorite memories of Dad include: Bedtime serenades with his guitar, his
dances with Mom, praying our nightly rosary, and his endeavors to fix an aging
house during his 'vacations'. But what we’ll miss most about Dad is his
faithfulness as a father; just always being there for us whenever we needed him.
Pete leaves this earth better than when he got here, having taught us the value
of family, hard work, faith, and laughter - both in good times and in times of
struggle. He will live on through his seven children: Patricia Lyons
(Sam), Michael Pitre (Rose), Teresa Davis (Boyd), Cecilia Aguilar (Robert),
Matthew Pitre (Laura), Patrick Pitre (Michelle) and Maria Johnson (Don); 21
grandchildren; 38 great-grandchildren and 5 great-great-grandchildren: all the
result of his unfailing love and dedication. He is preceded in death by
his wife, parents, three siblings and granddaughter Cynthia Lyons.
Come celebrate his life with us on Wednesday May 29, 10:00 a.m. - 1:00 p.m. at
Hixson’s Funeral Home in Lake Charles. A Rosary will be held at 11:00 a.m.
Mass will follow soon after, at St Margaret Catholic Church at 1:00 p.m., and
the burial will follow at Highland Memorial Cemetery.
