Roger Steven Leblanc

Roger Steven LeBlanc, 68, of Lake Charles, LA, died on Tuesday, August 29 at his home, with his wife and children by his side.

Mr. LeBlanc was born on September 15, 1948 in Lake Charles to Erma “Smokey” & M.A. “Chic” LeBlanc.  He graduated from LaGrange High School, attended McNeese State University, and served his country with honor in the US Army in Vietnam.  

He adored his wife Sam and relished making her happy.  He was an amazing father and a loyal friend who touched many lives. 

In 1975 Roger and his dad went into business together forming Chic LeBlanc Appliances.  Back in those early days, Roger delivered appliances each day after the store closed.  The years went by, the business grew, the name and locations changed, and along the way he and his wife Sam took a chance with a big move and a lot more square feet at the current location of C&C on McNeese Street.  A family business is just that – a family.  And Roger has a long legacy with a big extended family that was Chic’s/C&C.  After a lifetime of earning the respect and trust of the community, he and Sam retired in 2014 and sold the business to Larry & Rhonda Wright. 

Mr. LeBlanc loved NASCAR, fishing and listening to country music.  But most of all, he loved his wife, children and grandchildren.    

He is survived by his wife, Sandra “Sam” LeBlanc, his son Mike LeBlanc and daughter Jeannie Moss, both of Houston, son-in-law Justin Moss, grandchildren Jake & Avery Moss, his sister Ann LeBlanc & spouse Carol Pettyjohn, of Sulphur, and nephew Shane LeBlanc of Sulphur, and like son & daughter, Larry & Rhonda Wright of Lake Charles.

His Funeral Service will be at 2:00 PM, Sunday, September 3, 2017 in the Johnson Funeral Home Chapel. Reverend Ronnie Estes will officiate. Burial will be in Consolata Cemetery under the direction of Johnson Funeral Home. Visitation will be, Saturday, from 3:00 PM until 9:00 PM with a rosary being recited at 7:00 PM and continue, Sunday, from 11:00 AM until time of service in the funeral home.
