Robert "Bob" Anthony Chauvin Jr.

November 6, 1955 — October 2, 2018

Robert Anthony Chauvin, Jr. “Bob” passed away peacefully in his Marrero, LA home on October 2, 2018 at the age of 62 after a long, strong fight against limb girdle muscular dystrophy. He was surrounded by loved ones. His positive outlook on life and unending determination touched everyone who was blessed to know him.
Bob is survived by his devoted wife of 42 years, Sheryl, his daughter, Angelina (Josh), siblings Chris Dufrene (Rickie), Ben Chauvin (Amy), grandsons Jude and Elijah Vicknair, and nieces Alexis Dufrene and Bailey and Calley Chauvin. He was the son of the late Elizabeth Savoie and Bobby Chauvin.
Despite being wheelchair bound for much of his adult life, Bob worked full time until the last few years of his life. He loved his work and those who surrounded him and was an amazing provider for his wife and daughter for so many years. A former motocross racer, he was an auto enthusiast who loved working on his corvette and watching numerous Formula One and Nascar races. His favorite pastime was trips to the Disney World Food and Wine Fest with his wife and their multitude of friends. He was a devoted father and grandfather, always giving out words of wisdom with Donald Duck voices to make us laugh. He was a joy to be around and left a mark on all those whose lives he touched.
