Louis Albert Barrilleaux, 74, of Weimar, Texas, passed away on March 27, 2022, after battling cancer for 4 years with the help of God and the hospice nurses.

He was a member of Weimar United Church of Christ, now Weimar United Church. Previously he was a member of Redeemer Lutheran Church in Baytown, Texas. Louis enjoyed spending time with family, being a fun PawPaw, making friends laugh, playing games like Sparkle, cooking delicious Cajun meals like his Gumbo, traveling, hunting, fishing, woodworking, farming and taking care of his cows.

Through the years, Louis and Linda traveled on cruises to Alaska, Canada and Mexico. They went on numerous RV trips to Colorado & Louisiana. Later came a 30 day trip to Canada.
