It is with great sadness that the family of Hennis "Bubba" Joseph Roussel, Sr. announces his passing on April 5, 2025, at Ochsner Kenner Hospital at the age of 75. A resident of Lutcher, Louisiana, Bubba was known for his storytelling, sense of humor, and love of life.

He was preceded in death by his wife, DeAnna Guedry Roussel; his eldest son, Hennis Roussel, Jr.; and his parents, Allen and Violet Roussel.
Bubba was a proud graduate of Lutcher High School, Class of 1967. He married the love of his life in 1969 and spent much of his career at Kaiser and Larouche Industries. Bubba's true passion, however, was his family. He found great joy in spending time with his children and grandchildren, and he always cherished family gatherings.
