Our father, Theodore Lambert Minvielle, was born on December 30th, 1963, and passed away peacefully on Saturday August 17th, 2024, at 5:15 pm with his family by his side. If you knew our dad, he probably helped you or a loved one out in some way or another. Ted was the most selfless, hardworking, and independent man that we have ever known. As a single father of three, he was faced with many obstacles, yet he always managed to overcome them. He was an electrician for over 30 years, but most people knew him as a jack of all trades. Whenever we had questions, we would always say, “Let's call Dad” and he would always have the answers.
As a young man, Ted was a member of the boy scouts in Troop 17. He loved camping, fishing, and being outdoors. As a bit of a perfectionist, everyone who joined him knew he would be prepared for anything. He attended Catholic High School and once he was finished, he went straight to work and never stopped. Over time, Ted developed a passion for cooking and gardening. Anyone who peeked into his backyard could see the patience and time he put into it. It was his oasis, a place to take a break from the chaos of life. Our dad lived a simple and quiet life, and he wouldn’t want it any other way.
Although he was taken from us much too soon, our memories with him will live on forever. Our dad has taught each of us so many things that we will hold on to and pass down to our children. He was a beloved father, nephew, brother, friend, and grandfather to seven grandkids. Our dad was someone we truly admired, and he will be greatly missed by all.
Theodore was survived by his three children, Rebecca Block, Sarah Minvielle, and Zachary Minvielle; two brothers, Stephen Minvielle and Brian Minvielle; two sisters, Katherine Minvielle Einsmann and Cle’lie Aubin Kuhn; and three uncles, Thomas Minvielle, Jimmy Minvielle, and Andrew Minvielle; and seven grandkids, Violet Guidry, Isla Guidry, Andrew Block, Jack Dugas, Lynnix Sonnier, Emryn Minvielle, and Calliope Minvielle.
A memorial service for Theodore will be held at Evangeline Funeral Home on August 23rd from 3 p.m. to 6 p.m.
