Remington Roussel Obituary

Remington "Remi" Lane Roussel born February 28, 2009 in Baton Rouge was called home on Thursday, December 27, 2012. Remi was a resident of Denham Springs, La. Remi will be missed by hundreds. Remi was a Pre-K student of South Walker Elementary. During Remi's short visit on earth he enjoyed listening to music, singing, dancing, cuddling with Mommy and soft toys including "My D-D." He loved unconditionally, touched many lives and inspired others. Remi never met a stranger and always had a smile on his beautiful face. He would say, "What you name?" Remi loved visiting MawMaw, PawPaw, and Uncle Nick, loved the cows and horses and was fearless. Nothing was ever too big. He looked up to his big brother Kayden and loved him more than life itself. Remi wanted to be Batman and every answer was "Hotdog" in school. Remi will be missed tremendously as he plays with family and friends gone before him and tending to PawPaw Marvin's farm. We love you, Batman.

Memories and Condolences

Not sure what to say?





Remi it is hard to believe it has been 7 years since I had to say goodbye. I long to hear your voice, to hold your hand, to see your smile, to know what things you would like to be doing, and to see you play with your brother and sisters. All those things are just wishful thinking though. I can only hold onto your memories for dear life and pray that I never lose those. I love you so much and it hurts so much even today. I live with your lose and the way it has forever changed our lives. You are missed so much by so many. I love you Remi and I will till the day I draw my last breathe. Until then have fun in heaven and watch over all of us. Love MawMaw

Remi was a student of mine. Even though I was his teacher, HE was the one to teach me of Love, Joy and family. He would wait for his brothers bus to come at day care, I would hold him up to see Kayden get off the bus, then we would run to the door to say hi to him.
Remi was an Angel and is still an Angel... we just have to look a little harder to see him.
I am praying for the family. It will be a long hard road... but you can do it. I have Faith in you and so does Remi.
hugs, peace and prayers

Death is not just for the old.
Sometimes the young die too.
You were only 3 years old
When angels came for you.
It's very hard to understand
Why you died so young.
You had so much to live for
And was loved by everyone.
But we know God has a purpose
And a plan for each of us.
We know he loves his children,
And in him we put all trust.
Although our hearts are broken,
We know you're in his care.
Your memory will remain alive
Until we join you there
