Simon Lee Boudreaux, 79, of Rangely, Colorado, passed away peacefully at his home on June 14, 2020, with his devoted wife, Ellen, by his side after fighting numerous illnesses.
A native of Lake Charles, Louisiana, Simon settled in Rangely in 1985 and quickly embraced his new home while never forgetting his Cajun roots. He worked in the oil and gas industry for over 30 years for the Williams Companies, along with several other organizations. Simon was an avid hunter, fisher, and golfer, and enjoyed simply being outdoors. He had an excellent sense of humor, loved to tell stories (often more than once), and took pleasure in making people laugh. He was also an excellent cook, and especially loved to prepare dishes for the ladies’ groups in town.
Simon is preceded in death by his parents, Orisca and Stanley Boudreaux, and by his beloved daughter, Cammie Boudreaux Hawes.
He is survived by his wife Ellen Edwards Bourdreaux of Rangely, Colorado; son Jeffrey Boudreaux of Lake Charles, Louisiana; son-in-law Charles Hawes III, of Shreveport, Louisiana; son Salvador Messina of Lake Charles, Louisiana; daughter Anne (Jason) Rooks of Mandeville, Louisiana; and son Clark (Norian) Edwards of Rangely, Colorado.
He is also survived by his brothers Larry (Ester) Boudreaux of Lake Charles, Louisiana; and Rodney Boudreaux of Many, Louisiana.
Simon leaves many grandchildren and great-grandchildren, along with numerous cousins, nieces, nephews, and friends.
Memorial services were held Friday, June 19, 2020, at 11 a.m. at the First Baptist Church, 2075 S. Sunset Ave. in Rangely, Colorado.
A memorial in his home state of Louisiana will be held at a later date for family and friends. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in Simon’s name to the American Lung Association. Online condolences may be shared at www.AshleyValleyFuneralHome.com
