Hwan James LeBert was born on September 29, 1975, in Seoul, South Korea and he was a longtime resident of Acadiana. He was a loving father, wonderful husband, and a great friend who had a huge heart. James would go out of his way to help people and make sure they saw the best of themselves. He was loved by many and enjoyed spending time with his wife and children. James had a smile that could light up the room and always wanted to make people laugh. He was the life of the party and made sure you knew it. James loved crawfish boils with friends and family and nights with a fire in the backyard with his wife and kids making smores. He served in the United States Marine Corp. James was a first responder as well as an instructor for first-aid, CPR, first responding and many other things. He worked in the Oil and Gas Industry as a Safety Advisor for over 20 years. James would give a hundred and ten percent to anything he was committed to and would always try to make his promises count. His death is a tremendous loss to so many who loved him, and those that will never have the opportunity to know him. James will be dearly missed. James is survived by his loving wife of eight years, Marcia LeBert; his children, Hunter LeBert, Reagan LeBert, McKenzie LeBert, Christopher LeBert, Megan Broussard, Carolyn Armond, and Gabriel Armond; his parents, Hilray James LeBert and Son-OK LeBert; his sister, Nicole Charrier (Samuel); his maternal grandmother, Janice Reed LeBert; his nephews, Lucas, Sammy, William, and Eli Charrier; along with a host of dear friends. He was preceded in death by paternal grandfather, Hilbert Joseph Lebert; his maternal grandfather, Hwan Park; his uncles, Phillip Ray LeBert and Scott Eakman; his aunt and godmother, Janet LeBert Hollier; as well as his cousin, Aaron Joseph Doucet. The family wishes to offer a heartfelt thank you to Mande Jones, Randy Jones, Cody LeBert, and Justin LeBert for the care and compassion they offered James and his family during his time of need.
