Born in Abbeville, LA on January 27, 1949 to the late Emick and Emilda Dugas Arceneaux, Keith passed away on Sunday, July 2, 2023 at 9:05 am at his residence surrounded by family.
Keith the former Mayor of Erath, will also be remembered as the Mayor in office when the town celebrated its 100th anniversary of incorporation.
He was a 1967 graduate of Erath High School, owner of Arceneaux Tires and a current member of Our Lady of the Lake Catholic Church in Delcambre.
His family will remember his love for them and the time he spent making memories and babysitting his grandchildren.
As an outdoor enthusiast he enjoyed spending time fishing, hunting, crabbing and going to his camp at the Boston Canal. He also spent time on the golf course with Jacob and his sidekick, Darson.
Keith had a sense of humor up until the very end when Fr. Manny came to visit he and Nora and told him, “If you are ready to go, it’s OK!”, to which Keith responded, “I’m trying but it seems that I have a flat tire.”
He was also a very patient man that could be found on rainy days making puzzles of many pieces.
Those left behind to cherish his memory are his wife, Janora Migues Arceneaux; children, Ron Dore (Courtney); Brandy Dore and Jacob Broussard (Gabrielle); grandchildren, Sister Teresa of Jesus (the former Brittlyn Sonnier); Jordan Sonnier (Alexa); Catherine Sonnier (Drake Morganman); Lauren Sonnier (Colby Efferson); Nick Bergeron (Andree); Alex Bergeron (Christina); Justin Menard and Karter Menard; great grandchildren, Leighton Bergeron; Amalie Sonnier; Ellison Sonnier; Paisley Reese Morganman; Eloise Bergeron; Noelle Broussard; Jace Dore; Elliana Dore; Jonah Dore and Amelia Dore; siblings, Sharon Sellers (Minos); Marlene Arceneaux Holmes and Aaron Arceneaux (Lisa) and his sons in law, John Sonnier (Dana) and Jason Bergeron.
Along with his parents he is preceded in death by his two daughters, Charisse Arceneaux Bergeron and Monique Arceneaux Sonnier; grandson, Andre Sonnier; granddaughter, Taylor Renee Sonnier; nephew, Tyler Arceneaux and brother in law, Bozi Holmes.
Honored to serve as pallbearers are Nick Bergeron, Alex Bergeron, Jordan Sonnier, Aaron Arceneaux, Ron Dore and Jacob Broussard. Justin Menard, Karter Menard, Jonah Dore, Lovelace Touchet, Russell Suire, Camille Manck and Darson Schexnayder are honorary pallbearers.
