Michael DeRouen, 69, passed away at his residence on Saturday, January 23, 2021, at 9:18 p.m.

A lifelong resident Michael was born on December 20, 1952, in New Iberia to Thomas Elery and Velma Comeaux DeRouen.

He truly loved to be productive and work. He was a very hard worker, and he instilled great work ethics in the sons, nephews and any other person that worked alongside him. One could say he was a good teacher. He also had a passion for hunting and fishing with his sons.

One of his favorite pastimes was taking the top off his Camaro and riding through the county side listening to his Cajun and R & B music.

He worked in the oil field as a hydraulic specialist of the Baker and Bethlehem jacking system

Michael DeRouen is survived by his sons, Bradley DeRouen (Robyn) of New Iberia, Nicholas DeRouen (Dawn) of Toledo Bend; a sister, Lucille DeRouen (Tika Laudun) of Baton Rouge; grandchildren, Shay Brazil (Kacy), Bryce DeRouen, Ethan DeRouen, Patience DeRouen, Braxton DeRouen, and one great-grandchild, Kashton Brazil.

He is preceded in death by his father, Thomas Elery DeRouen.

To help keep the community safe we will honor the July 13, 2020, Louisiana Mandates. All families and their guests are required to wear a face-covering while at the funeral home. Thank you for your understanding during this unprecedented time.
