Michael Siegfried Hebert was born in Wurzburg, Germany on November 11, 1968 while his parents Gudrun (Goldie) and Eugene Hebert Jr. were stationed there.

A patriot from birth, he loved his country, upon his parents returning stateside they settled in Moss Bluff, where he attended Sam Houston High School, graduating class of 1986. He then began attending McNeese State University, studying criminal justice until he was called to serve his beloved country. On March 31, 1988 he enlisted into the United States Army, completing basic training, advanced individual training-infantry, special training-Bradley fighting vehicle, new equipment training school, and gunnery training course, and Army Ranger School at Fort Benning, GA.

During his active duty enlistment he was awarded the Army Service Ribbon, National Defense Service Medal, LA War Cross, and the LA Emergency Service Ribbon.

Upon returning home, he began working for Miller Environmental as an Industrial/Heavy Duty Mechanic for the past twenty-three years. He was a proud father to his children, ensuring he taught them how to be independent and self-sufficient. He loved spending time with his family, often he and Betty would go camping together at Sam Houston Jones State Park, and occasionally Toledo Bend. He was a jack of all trades, there was nothing he couldn’t fix and nothing he couldn’t grill to perfection.

He was a giving and caring husband, father, and friend, he showed how much he loved his family by his actions, he always had just what they needed when they needed it. It was never beneath him to give the shirt off his back to help others. With his caring heart, he had the patience and understanding of how important listening was; many times his fellow veterans would reach out to him for advice or mentorship.
