Donald “Dewey” Quibodeaux, 83, passed away peacefully at his residence in Crowley on Saturday, Aug. 27, 2016, after a courageous battle with kidney and lung cancer.
Dewey was born Aug. 3, 1933, a son of the late Dennis and Wava Quibodeaux. He served as a PFC (E3) in the United States Army from the years 1953-1955.

Over the years he was employed by various oilfield companies as a roughneck, driller and tool-pusher. He ended his employment career working in the refinery plants.
Dewey enjoyed the outdoors and spent his spare time gardening and hunting. After retiring he spent most days at Bullets & Bows with his son, Kenny. He loved visiting with his children, grandchildren and great grandchildren. As a long-time member of Northside Assembly of God Church, Dewey spent many mornings at the church lifting up his family in prayer.
