Shelton Ray Breaux, affectionately known as "Grump", a beloved husband, father, grandfather, and friend, peacefully passed away on September 27, 2025, at the age of 76. He was born on July 14, 1949, in Mermentau, Louisiana. Shelton's life was marked by selfless service and unwavering love for his family and community.

Serving as a Marine veteran, Shelton bravely served two tours in Vietnam, where he demonstrated courage and commitment to his country. Upon returning home, he dedicated many years to law enforcement serving with honor as a police officer for the Lake Arthur Police Department and then for the Jennings Police Department with 25 years of service. Shelton was known not only for his steadfast work ethic but also for his kind heart and infectious smile that brightened the lives of those he encountered. Shelton cherished his family above all else and loved spending every second with them. In his spare time, he found solace in fishing, reading, sharing stories, and laughter. He has also been a faithful member of First Baptist Church of Jennings for many years.

He is survived by his loving wife, Vickey Richard Breaux; daughters, Michelle Hebert White and Erica Breaux; son, Bradley (Susan) Breaux.

Family gatherings were a source of happiness for Shelton, who relished every moment spent with his loved ones.

Shelton was preceded in death by his mother, Eva Breaux; his son, Christopher Breaux; and his sister, Shirley Perry.
