Rorey was a resident of New Iberia, Louisiana and a native of Jeanerette, Louisiana and passed away on Monday, August 30, 2021 at 1:22 AM at Iberia Medical Center.  At an early age, Rorey began to show interest in drawing and imagination leading him to earn his Architecture and Design Master’s degree from the University of Louisiana at Lafayette.  He was an avid ULL Ragin Cajun fan.  He enjoyed his employment at Architects’ Design Studio being able to co-create with a team and provide his vision on multiple projects for the firm.   He was dedicated to his weekend job as a dual rate game supervisor at the Cypress Bayou Casino.

In his spare time, he gained knowledge and experience in photography as a hobby and allowed for Rorey to acquire his own photography business.  He earned honors and awards for his work from national digital photography contests.  His photography work has been exhibited in galleries in Germany, Greece, Israel, and Australia.  In addition to this, his other hobbies were everything Disney, computers, ULL sporting events, travel and hiking the Smokies with his family.  A true family man, he was a mentor to his two sons and loved his beautiful wife dearly.  His work ethic was beyond measure doing what he loved everyday with a lot of thought and passion.
