Mr. Babineaux was born June 07, 1934 to Lawrence and Lilla Roger Babineaux in Iowa, LA.  He was raised in South Lake Charles and has been a lifelong resident of the Lake area.  During his younger years he had a very colorful work history while working his way to a permanent position with Southern Pacific Railroad.  Once he attained his position, he continued to build houses on the side until the late 90’s.  Mr. Babineaux retired a Switchman with forty-one years of service.  During his younger years he enjoyed dancing and his later years, vegetable gardening.  His down time was often dedicated to giving and helping others.  Mr. Babineaux was a man of great faith and prayer, involved in the church, with a high level of importance in raising his family in church and a Catholic education for his granddaughter.  He was an active member of Our Lady Queen of Heaven Catholic Church where he volunteered for countless responsibilities and was an usher as long as he was able.  He then started his day every day with a televised rosary and Mass.  He will be remembered as an admirable man of his generation who took pride in working hard to provide for his family.
