Lindsey Thibodeaux Obituary

Lindsey Ryan Thibodeaux, age 40, was called home by his Heavenly Father in the early morning hours of September 7th. Lindsey lived his life to the fullest through his faith in Christ and life scripture, Philippians 4:13 which proclaims "I can do all things through Christ which strengthens me." Lindsey, a lifelong resident of Baton Rouge was loved by many and impacted so many lives with his endless smile, encouragement and support of others through his caring and loving heart. Lindsey had many accomplishments during his short life, being appointed the Ambassador for the March of Dimes, the Louisiana Young Hero's Award's recipient, named the honorary co-captain for LSU at the final games of the 1997 College World Series and the team statistician for the 1996 Christian Life Academy AA State Basketball Champions, as well as many other memorable accomplishments. Lindsey graduated from Christian Life Academy and LSU with a Bachelor of Arts Degree in Mass Communication. Lindsey was an avid LSU fan and for many was a resource on past and current facts for both the Football and Baseball teams. Lindsey's survivors include his parents Pierre and Clara Thibodeaux of Baton Rouge, his many aunts, uncles and cousins, extended family and friends. He was proceeded in death by his grandparents, Clarence M. and Lillian Cooper Thibodeaux and Cosmo John and Nancy Ranzino. The family invites you to join them for visitation at the Healing Place Church Arena, 19202 Highland Road, Baton Rouge, LA from 2-4PM on Thursday, September 12th. A service celebrating his life will follow at 4PM. In honor of his love for LSU, the family encourages everyone to wear purple and gold. Lindsey was a special man, so warm, likable, caring and an obedient child of God. No words can describe the feelings of our loss, but we rest in the assurance that he is in the loving hands of God his Father. In keeping with Lindsey's wishes, donations to the Healing Place Church or the charity of your choice are requested in lieu of flowers.

Lindsey will be greatly missed by me. I am honored to have been an acquaintance of his. He taught me things without even trying to do so. His life was a great example of living and loving life wherever you find yourself. I will always remember him very fondly. High five Lindsey.

I was so saddened to hear about Lindsey moving on to be with his Heavenly Father. Lindsey was the sweetest person I have ever known and was always smiling and enjoying life. I first met Lindsey at Christian Life Academy and have occasionally run into him at various functions or activities over the years. It was always a joy to see him. His knowledge of LSU sports was amazing. I am so glad that I had the pleasure of knowing him and will always remember what an inspiration he was for everyone. I'm also sorry that I will not be able to make his Celebration of Life but my prayers and thoughts will be with the family and friends as they celebrate Lindsey and all the great things that he has done and what he represented to all. He will definitely be missed by all. May He Rest in Peace..God Bless him and his family and friends.

Sandra and I watched Lindsey grow up at LSU baseball games and always loved seeing him and his enthusiasm for life and the Tigers. Then he watched our kids grow up and never failed to ask about them or tell me when he had seen one of their accomplishments. We will miss him and that beautiful smile greatly. May the Holy Spirit comfort you.
