Larry Michael Cavalier

Larry was married to Geneve (Jeannie) Cavalier on September 20, 1975. In their 43 years of marriage, they were blessed with three children, seven grandchildren and one great grandchild. Larry was a family man and he loved his community. Larry fought a tough battle with pulmonary fibrosis. He relocated to New York, with his wife, under the care of his transplant team. His dream was to receive a double lung transplant and return to his hometown with his family and friends.

Larry was preceded in death by his parents Armand and Angel Cavalier; brothers Douglas Cavalier, Randy Cavalier, June Cavalier, Mike Cavalier; nephew Tyler Cavalier; mother-in-law Marion Daigle; brother-in-law’s Stafford Daigle and Warren Daigle.

Larry is survived by his wife Geneve (Jeannie) Cavalier; children Stafford Cavalier (Belinda), Shannon Boudreaux (Donny), Seth Cavalier (Laci); grandchildren Brian Jr Metrejean, Tre Caballero, Tyler Boudreaux, Brennon Cavalier, Breanna Cavalier, Brant Cavalier, Laityn Cavalier; great grandchild Lola Metrejean; brothers Donald Cavalier (Charlene), Jeff Cavalier (Michelle); sister Judy Breaux (Ricky); sister-in-law Becky Daigle (Shane); brother-in-law Kevin Daigle; father-in-law Joseph Daigle as well as his extended family and the countless supporters who helped him fight this battle.

Special thanks to his transplant team, and everyone with Burke Rehabilitation Hospital, especially Diana Bruzzone, who worked with him daily to keep him strong in his struggle. We would also like to give thanks to his New York family Yerddy Sosa Rosario (Melvin Sr.), Maria Rosario (Jose) Melvin Jr., who made Larry and Geneve a home away from home. Lastly, an extended special thanks to all who have donated to the benefit cause of Larry Cavalier.
