May 10, 1949 ~ March 21, 2024
Alex Joseph Robeau, Jr. passed away as a result of an automobile accident on March 21, 2024, at the age of 74. Born on May 10, 1949, in Baton Rouge, LA, he was the beloved husband of Joanne Culmone Robeau for almost 51 years. He was preceded in death by his parents Alex Joseph Robeau, Sr. “AJ” and Bernice Robeau of Baton Rouge, and his brother Thomas Robeau. He is survived by his wife Joanne Culmone Robeau; his sister Diane Robeau Scimeca. Alex was a loving father to Alex Robeau III (Adelynn) and Heather Huval (Brandon). He was a loving “Pops” to Cole Harris, AJ Robeau IV, Lydia Huval, and soon to be Aria Robeau. He enjoyed spending time with his grandchildren.
Alex proudly served in the United States Army where he received a Purple Heart for injuries he sustained while in the Vietnam War. He was a business owner for many years and founded Worksite Lighting. In his free time, he indulged in his favorite hobbies of fishing and cooking. Alex never met a stranger. Above all, Alex’s family held a special place in his heart.
Alex Joseph Robeau, Jr., or “Big Al” as he was commonly known, will be deeply missed by his family, friends, and all those whose lives he touched. His legacy of love will live on in the hearts of those who were fortunate enough to know him.
A funeral service will be held in Denham Springs, LA, to honor and celebrate Alex’s remarkable life on Tuesday, April 2, 2024 at Immaculate Conception Catholic Church. Visitation will begin at 9:00am with a Mass of Christian Burial at 11am. A graveside service with military Honors will immediately follow. Please sign the online guestbook at www.sealefuneral.com

I was so sad to hear of the passing of Mr. Al. My heart breaks for Mrs. Joanne. I had the pleasure of knowing the Robeau family for many years since Cole, Lydia and AJ all attended Angels. My condolences to Alex and Heather and Mrs. Joanne as they say goodbye to Mr. Al. I’ll keep the whole family in my prayers during this difficult time.

Dear Mrs. Joanne, Heather, and Al,
I am sorry to hear of your loss. My family and I will pray for Mr. Alex and your family.
My 8 year old made up his own prayer to say every night:
“Thank you for everything You created, including the tough things and the hard stuff (we list the “tough things” and “hard stuff”). Please help all of the people who have gone through the gates of Heaven find their way to you. Amen.”
It will be tough and hard to feel the pain and work through it. Know you are surrounded by love and support.

To the Robeau Family–Joanne, Al, Heather, Diane, Troy, etc.
I was so sorry to hear of the passing of Alex. He was a giant of a man and fun to be around whenever I had the opportunity to be with him and Joanne, as well as with his parents and Diane and her family.
I pray for your family often and will continue to do so when I pray. God bless you at this time.
Love,
