Hugh was an aircraft mechanic and worked with PHI in Lafayette for 36 years. He was a man who was talented in many trades and was always eager to lend a hand to anyone in need. Many times he would not only cut his grass, but cut his families yards as well. That was just one of the many ways he would go out of his way to help someone else. Not only was he handy, but he was a great cook and baker, with Syrup Cake being one his specialties. But above all, Hugh was a family man and the love for his them was greatest to him. He cherished every moment with his grandchildren, who lovingly call him Pop. Hugh leaves behind many fond memories that will always be remembered by all who knew and loved him.

Courville; his grandchildren whom he adored, Anniston Clare Barrett, Ashton Michael Courville and Elliot Ray Courville; his brothers, Sim Courville and wife Brenda and Otis “Cheyenne” Courville and wife Pennye; his in-laws, Clarence and Etta Vannoy; and his Godparents, Jeanne Hipp and Alan Bourque.

Along with his parents, he was preceded in death by his infant grandsons, Nyle and Griffin Courville; and his sister, Yvette Marie Courville.

Serving as pallbearers will be Hoyt, Sim and Cheyene Courville, Pat Stephenson, John Vannoy and Kurt Latiolais. Honorary pallbearers are Heathe Courville, Ricky Louviere, Chuck Latiolais, Clarence and Perry Vannoy, Douglas Courville, Chad Theriot, and his grandchildren, Anniston, Ashton and Elliot.
