Mr. Belaire loved spending time with his family in the country, most especially his grandchildren. He loved the holidays, especially Christmas and Easter – treasuring moments of the yearly tradition of “pacquing” eggs.
As a pastime, he enjoyed gardening, fishing, picking pecans on his property, and watching t.v. with his dog, Blackey. LeeRoy often enjoyed drinking coffee at Picard’s Auto Parts with his friends.
He is survived by two daughters, Eunice Frederick and husband Troy, and Christyal “Peanut” Chiasson and husband Dane; two sons, Kenneth Belaire and wife Susan, and Patrick Belaire and wife Janice; his brother, Wallace Belaire and wife Charlotte; three sisters, Anna Mae Hart, Agathe Rieth and Mary Ann Crochet; six grandchildren, Danielle Harrison and husband Adam Sr., Jordy Belaire and wife Katie, Jamie Belaire and wife Sabrina, Kayla Frederick and companion Chance Thibodeaux, Garrett Chiasson and Victoria Frederick; and one great-grandchild, Adam Harrison Jr.
He is preceded in death by his beloved wife, Christy Dugan Belaire; his parents, Andrew and Celeste Landry Belaire; three sisters, Jean Belaire, Nora Belaire and Cecile Eddy; and nine brothers, Ward Belaire, Joseph Desire Belaire, Wilfred Belaire, Andrew Belaire Jr., Jules Belaire, John Belaire, Michel Belaire, Amede Belaire and Roosevelt Belaire.
Pallbearers will be Kenneth Belaire, Patrick Belaire, Jordy Belaire, Jamie Belaire, Garrett Chiasson and Troy Frederick.
Honorary pallbearers will be Ernest Dugan Jr., Chance Thibodeaux and Adam Harrison Sr.
