Dr. Stephen James Hebert (Doc), 70, of Belle Chasse, passed away on November 26, 2022 due to cardiac failure. Stephen was born on October 29, 1952 to the late Andrew and Carmella Hebert. After Stephen graduated from De La Salle in 1970, he enlisted in the Air Force and was stationed at McDill Air Force base in Tampa, Florida. While there, he studied Biology at the University of Tampa. He also met his wife Patsy in Tampa and they were married in May of 1978.
Stephen graduated in 1981 from LSU Veterinary School. He and Patsy opened their first clinic in Port Sulphur in the mid-80’s and then a second location in Belle Chasse. Stephen continued to practice veterinary medicine full-time to this day.
Stephen and Patsy have two daughters, Natalie Barranco (John) and Jeanine Chapman (Tex), and four granchilden, Cheslea Chapman, Celeste Chapman, Dominic Barranco, and Vincent Barranco. Brother of Wayne Hebert, Diane Magee (Ray), and David Hebert. Brother-in-law of Bill Flowers, Jr (Carolyn).
For those who knew him, they know he was always with Patsy. He would often say that if he could, he would live in Patsy’s front pocket. They were inseparable. He loved his two daughters immensely and tolerated his son-in-laws. He was enamored with his four grandchildren and he was able to play a very active role in their lives as a guide and mentor. In his spare time, Stephen enjoyed traveling, photography, golf, and fishing…but most of all, it was spending time with Patsy, the love of his life.
