Hilary David King Thibodeaux, Jr., March 12, 1960 - June 23, 2020 of Westwego, LA. passed away after a brief but valiant battle with cancer. He was the beloved son of the late Hilary Thibodeaux, Sr. and Joy Stipelcovich Thibodeaux. He is survived by his daughter, Danielle Walker Hicks (Joe); his granddaughter Alaia Jocelynn Hicks; brother to Therese M. Thibodeaux, Celeste T. Dority (John), Celena T. Jensen (Morten) and Marcel A. Thibodeaux. He is also survived by his loving nieces, Parker Hilary Dority and Annette and Cesarae Jensen, as well as his great niece, Astrid Celeste Dority Cornish. He leaves behind a large extended family of aunts, uncles and cousins always close to his heart, and his constant four-legged companion, Shane. He retired from a long and successful career as an instrument electrician technician in the oil production industry. In 2004, he was awarded a prestigious Life Saving Award for his brave actions saving a coworker from imminent drowning. His heart was as big as Lake Pontchartrain and he was always ready to help a friend in need. He loved his family, his boat, a good bowl of gumbo and his sweet tea. He will be sorely missed.
