A native of Breaux Bridge and a resident of Abbeville, Mr. Romero died at 1:32PM on Wednesday, September 15, 2021 at Ochsner of Lafayette Hospital.  Eddie was proud of his sons and loved his family and friends.  He would helped in any way he could.  Eddie loved being a volunteer fireman for the LeBlanc Fire Department and was very committed to the department as long as he was able.  He loved camping, welding, working on motors, hunting, fishing, but mostly he loved helping others.  He always put himself second in order to help others first.

He was preceded in death by his parents, Francis E. Romero, Sr. and Dorothy Jean Gatte Romero; and a son, Adam John Romero.
