Michael Joseph "Mike" Thibodeaux

Michael Joseph “Mike” Thibodeaux passed away on Friday, October 30, 2020 at the age of 68. He was predeceased by his parents, Whitney Joseph Thibodeaux and Irma Couvillion Thibodeaux. He is survived by his wife of 36 years, Cindy Robin Thibodeaux; a son, Michael James Thibodeaux; a daughter, Christina Thibodeaux Higdon (David) and grandchildren, Reese and Jonathan Higdon. He is also survived by his siblings, David Thibodeaux (Kathy), Ann Tastet (the late E.J and the late Roy), Beth Robertson (Mike) and Al Thibodeaux. He is also survived by numerous nieces and nephews. Mike was an inaugural member of the first graduating class of O. Perry Walker High School in 1971. He also attended the University of New Orleans where he studied art. He was a dedicated employee of Point Eight Power for 38 years, where he worked as a project manager. While he was a proficient golfer, his true passion was softball where he shored up the infield at third base. He played for decades with the local teams “The In-Laws” and “Red Bastille”. He enjoyed woodworking and was always involved in small projects at home. Mike also loved traveling all over the world with Cindy by his side, especially on his trip of a lifetime to Italy and Greece last year. Mike’s strongest attribute was his heart of gold. He was always there to help others without being asked. People were drawn to him by his witty sense of humor and comforting smile. There will be a Celebration of his Life at a later date.
