Stephen Carroll Sonnier passed away peacefully while surrounded by family and friends on December 16, 2018 at the age of 40. Born July 7, 1978 in Metairie, Louisiana. Beloved son of Joseph and Pearl Sonnier; Loving father of Jacob Paul Timothy, Gage Anthony Sonnier and Tatum Jolie Sonnier; Cherished brother of Stephanie Lynn Sonnier, Kevin D. Sonnier and his wife Kelli Sonnier. Stephen is also survived by the mother of his children, Amy Lyn Rexwinkle. Beloved uncle of Maximo Imbornone, Erin Sonnier, Eric Sonnier and Kole Sonnier. Stephen moved on after graduating from L.W. Higgins high school to start a family with his wife and three children, whom he served as an incredible role model, father, and husband. He was loved and adored by friends and family, winning people over through his charm, humor, and virtuous behavior. Stephen’s children were his entire world as far as he was concerned. A busy work schedule couldn’t get in the way of him being at every baseball game, wrestling match, or cheerleading event. No matter what life threw at him, he made sure to fight through it with his children and their well-being as a top priority, all while being a coach on and off the field. He lived a very fruitful life and held immense value to the ones closest to him and anyone who had the privilege of meeting him. His life will be remembered, celebrated, and his spirit will continue to be present in the lives of those he loved. Family and friends are invited to attend a memorial service on Friday, December 21, 2018 at WESTSIDE LEITZ-EAGAN FUNERAL HOME, located at 5101 Westbank Expressway in Marrero, Louisiana. Visitation will be held from 9:00am-11:00am with mass being held at 11:00am. Please express condolences at www.westsideleitzeagan.com
