Although he was born in Jennings, Mr. LeGros spent most of his life as a resident of the Milton/Scott area. Mr. LeGros was well known throughout the communities of Lake Arthur, Jennings and Scott as someone who loved to sing and had a beautiful voice.  In fact his friends call him “Pipes”.  He was a cantor in the church; a member of the Lake Arthur Coalition, RCIA program, Acadiana High School Band Members and a member of the DJR Karaoke group.  Although he enjoyed singing, his first priority was his relationship with God; he was very strong in his faith and served as an excellent example to all.  His children and grandchildren were very special to him and a great joy in his life.

Mr. LeGros was a gemologist with a long career in the jewelry business with jewelry stores in the Lafayette area.

He was preceded in death by his parents, Perry Joseph and Martha Mae Martin LeGros;  his father-in-law and mother-in-law, Curley and Eula Mae Broussard Courts; and a daughter, Baby LeGros.

Those left to cherish his memory are his wife, Debbie LeGros; daughter, Hillary (Hunter)Perry of Lafayette; son, Luke(Emily)LeGros of Lafayette; sister, Ramona(Ronald)Quebedeaux of Jennings; brothers, Roland (Roxanne)LeGros and Calvin LeGros, all of Jennings; and four very precious grandchildren, Carley, Victoria, Aubrey and Noah LeGros.

Carrying Mr. LeGros to his rest will be pallbearers Luke LeGros, Hunter Perry, Paul Courts, Rory Quebedeaux, Rob Tierney, Randal Menard, Joe Courts and Johnathon Courts. Honorary pallbearers are Ronald Quebedeaux, Roland LeGros, Calvin LeGros, Warren Landry, Dan Romero and Russell Myers.
