DELCAMBRE- Patrick Russell Langlinais, age 86, of Lafayette, Louisiana, passed away on Monday, January 6, 2025. Born in Delcambre, Louisiana to Grace LeBlanc Langlinais and Norris Langlinais, Patrick was a man of many passions, known for his love of family, the outdoors, and his adventurous spirit.
A true “man's man” and a devoted family man, Patrick cherished the time spent with his loved ones. He adored his wife of 65 years, Wanda Viator Langlinais, and took immense pride in watching his children and grandchildren grow. He was especially fond of outdoor activities, from bass fishing to deer and duck hunting. His greatest joy was at the “Chateau Langlinais,” his beloved camp at Toledo Bend, where he spent countless hours enjoying nature and the company of those closest to him. Patrick also had a pioneering spirit in the world of technology, becoming enamored with computers in the 1950s, long before they were common. He found fulfillment in exploring and mastering the rapidly changing world of computer science. Serving in the United States Marine Corps from 1957 to 1960, Patrick was honorably discharged, carrying the discipline and dedication of his service with him throughout his life. He was a talented cook and loved preparing meals for his family, always creating memorable moments around the dinner table.
Patrick is survived by his loving wife, Wanda; his children Sandra L. Mire (Yancey), Bryan Patrick Langlinais (Margaret), Wynne Langlinais, and Jonathan Langlinais (Katja); his siblings Randolph Langlinais (Diane), Danny Langlinais (Rhonda), Michelle Landry (Mark), and Karen Broussard; and his grandchildren Gavin, Bryce, Jonathan Patrick "J.P.", Jonah, and Benjamin, as well as his great-grandchild, Harley Mire.
