Dale Theobald Guidry "I Have Fought The Good Fight"
June 30, 1960 — May 5, 2018
Grand Coteau, LA ~ Dale Theobald Guidry passed away peacefully on Saturday, May 5, 2018. Dale was born June 30, 1960 to Preston J. Guidry, Sr. and Vivian Landry Guidry.
His journey began with his stroke in September of 2008 and then returned to Lake Charles, LA to live with his sister Regina Guidry during his recovery. After his recovery he moved back to the Sunset area where he grew up so he could be closer to his mom and re-connect with many old friends.
Dale worked most recently for Shop Rite on University in Carencro. Prior to this he worked for Derek Malone Enterprises in Fort Worth, TX doing a job he truly loved in sales and working with the public. He could tell you the names of any landscape flower or plant there is. Dale’s greatest accomplishment was his twenty-seven (27) of Sobriety! He inspired and helped many to overcome their addiction.
Dale is survived by his sisters, Jeanora Guidry Thibodeaux and her husband Ewell of Duson, Regina Guidry of Lake Charles, Vivian “Cutsi” Guidry of Carencro, Katina Guidry of Church Point, Sue Castille and her husband John Abby of Lafayette and Priscilla Cain of Lafayette.

Losing You
Our Hearts Still Ache in Sadness,
And secret tears still flow,
What it meant to lose you,
No one will ever know
