Funeral services will be held at 2:00 p.m. on Thursday, September 15, 2011 in the Sunrise Chapel at Walters Funeral Home for Sidney C. Kibodeaux, 55, who passed away on Monday, September 12, 2011. Interment will take place at Greenlawn Memorial Gardens.

Survivors include his mother, Lois Guidry Kibodeaux; Larry and Maureen Kibodeaux; Derrick, Laura, and Elaine Kibodeaux; Payton and Sydni Kibodeaux; Rodney and Susan LeBlanc Verret; Maxie and Christine LeBlanc Stelly; Rick and Vicky Mathieu LeBlanc; Liz LeBlanc; Tim LeBlanc; Katsy LeBlanc Mouton; Raven Winters; David and Monica Winters Watkins; Justin and Abby Watkins; Sebastian Smith; Jordan and Trey Breaux; Amy Kibodeaux; Shirleen Ross; and many others he considered family (you know who you are).

He was preceded in death by his father, Wilfred Kibodeaux; one son, Shannon Kibodeaux; and one grandson, Shannon K. Kibodeaux, Jr.

Sid worked for Saint Agnes Nursing Home in Breaux Bridge and looked forward to going to work every day because he considered staff and guests his extended family. He also worked for Eric LeBlanc of Breaux Bridge, and A-1 Electrical of Rayne.

Anyone who was fortunate to know Sid can_t think of him without smiling or laughing. He brought laughter and loyalty to everyone around him. Sid loved fishing, LSU, and the Saints equally. His dogs and all of his children were what drove him to fight a courageous battle. Sid was a native of Rayne, where he boxed for the Frog Capital Boxing Club. The world would be a happier, funnier, simpler place if everyone had a Sid (Paw). His battle of courage and strength has been a gift to us all.

Pallbearers will be Sebastian Smith, Payton Kibodeaux, Eric LeBlanc, Carlos Daigle, Tim LeBlanc, and Rick LeBlanc. Honorary Pallbearer is Sidnie Kibodeaux.

The family requests that visitation hours be observed on Wednesday, September 14th from 1:00 p.m. until 10:00 p.m. Visitation will resume on Thursday, September 15th at 8:00 a.m. until time of service.

In Sid_s honor, please give your time and gifts to the Miles Perret Center and Hospice of Acadiana for the invaluable care and love that they give not only to our loved ones, but to us as well.
