Jerome Robert LeBlanc

He was the beloved husband of Deanna Gail Higginbotham LeBlanc for almost 47 years; father of Danielle LeBlanc Deeke (Stanley) and Justin Robert LeBlanc (Ashley); grandfather of Abby Laine Deeke, Brandt Benjamin Deeke, James Reed LeBlanc, Elizabeth Paige "Libby" LeBlanc, and Caroline Albin LeBlanc; son of the late James Robert LeBlanc and Elaine Walker LeBlanc; and brother of Elayne Katherine "Kay" Soignier (Gerald), Jennifer Ann Easton, Daniel Andrew "Danny" LeBlanc (Cathy), Gail Frances LeBoeuf (Blue), and Jean Claire Pontiff (Ricky). He is also survived by a host of nieces, nephews, other relatives, and friends.

Jerome graduated from Nicholls State University with a Bachelor of Science Degree. He worked as a teacher in Terrebonne Parish for several years before going to work for Texaco, from which he retired. Jerome was a quiet man who loved his family above all. He was an excellent listener but a man of few words. His greatest joy in life was being a father and grandfather. He also took great joy in caring for his honorary grandchildren at Gi-Gi and Paw-Paw's.
