James “Jimmy” Anthony Schexnaydre passed away peacefully on November 22, 2020. Brother of Albert Thomas Schexnaydre (Nora).
He was preceded in death by his parents, Denis Thomas Schexnaydre and Leone Faucheux Schexnaydre; sisters, Mary Schexnaydre, Elma Rose Lavergne (the late Theodore “Buddy”), Betty Jane DeMatteo (the late Dave); brothers, Denis Joseph Schexnaydre, and Thaddeus Joseph Schexnaydre (the late Eve). Also survived by numerous loving relatives and friends.
Jimmy was a longtime resident of Bridge City, LA and a member of Holy Guardian Angels Catholic Church. He loved to hunt and fish and always had a Boudreaux joke to tell you. Jimmy never let the loss of one of his legs ever affect his mindset, his demeanor, his sense of humor, his spirit or his faith. His indomitable resolve is truly inspirational.
