Nelson Joseph Hebert Sr.

Nelson was a devoted husband, father, grandfather, great-grandfather, brother, uncle, cousin, and friend. His life was defined by hard work, deep love for his family, and an unwavering connection to the outdoors.

A skilled pipefitter by trade, Nelson dedicated many years of service to several chemical plants, known for his reliability, craftsmanship, and work ethic. Outside of his profession, he was a passionate commercial fisherman who found peace and purpose on the water.

But above all, Nelson was a family man. His greatest joy came from spending time with those he loved most. Whether gathered at the camp, at a family gathering, or sharing stories on the porch, he cherished every moment with his loved ones.

Nelson leaves behind a legacy of love, laughter, and a life well lived—forever in the hearts of those who knew him.

He leaves behind to cherish his memory his loving and caring wife of fifty-two years, Betty Hebert; three children, Nelson “Niggy” Hebert Jr. (Ashley), Shontel Bailey (Shawn) and Jeremy Hebert (Christi); six grandchildren, Chelsie Hebert (Holden), Krislin DiSalvo (Ryan), Jeremy “JJ” Hebert Jr. (Bailey), Tyler Bailey (Sadie), Coby Hebert (Faith) and Calvin Hebert; two great grandchildren, Emma LeBlanc and Oliver DiSalvo; five siblings, Albert “White” Hebert (Bertha), Shirley Blanchard, Loveless Hebert, Joseph “Jojo” Hebert and Paul Hebert (Monica) and numerous nieces, nephews and extended family members.

He is preceded in death by his parents, Albert and Eve Domingue Hebert; sister, Sherald Hebert Landry (Thomas Sr.) and brother-in-law, Cleveland Blanchard.

A visitation will be held on Monday, June 16, 2025 at New Covenant Community Church in Pierre Part, LA from 8:30am until Service at 12pm.
