Jimmy Breaux, affectionately known as “Jimbo” and "Rambo”, passed away at the age of 70. Jimmy was a fighter who lived life with a big personality, a childlike spirit, and a smile that could light up a room. He leaves behind a lifetime of memories, laughter, music, and the love of family who will cherish him always.
Jimmy had a unique way of enjoying life and bringing a little fun to those around him. He loved tinkering with broken things, creating art projects out of popsicle sticks, and playing his guitar. He was also known for showing off his karate moves and for his unforgettable song, “99
Cowboys.” Jimmy had a special place in his heart for snack cakes, and it was often said that all it took was a snack cake to become his friend for life. His one-of-a-kind personality and playful spirit made him someone who would never be forgotten.
Jimmy’s life was filled with special bonds and treasured relationships. He shared a deep connection with his family, especially his nephew and caregiver, Ricky White Sr. For many years, Ricky was by Jimmy’s side, caring for him with unwavering love and devotion. Their relationship grew far beyond that of an uncle and nephew. They were best friends, constant companions, and family in every sense of the word. The love they shared was truly extraordinary.
Jimmy was preceded in death by his beloved parents, Dewey Breaux and Bernice Jenkins Breaux; his brother, Ronald “Ronnie” Breaux, and sister-in-law, Ella Jay Breaux; his sister, Betty Young, and brother-in-law, Curtis Young; his sister, Jeannette Acosta, and brother-in-law, Gilbert Acosta; and his sister, Audrey White, and brother-in-law, George White.
Those left to cherish Jimmy’s memory include his devoted nephew and caregiver, Ricky White Sr., along with his many nieces and nephews who will hold close the memories, stories, and laughter they shared with him.
Though Jimmy’s time on earth has ended, the memories he created will live on in the hearts of everyone who knew and loved him. He will be remembered for his fighting spirit, his love of music, his creative projects, his karate moves, his sense of humor, and the simple joys that made him uniquely Jimmy.
Jimmy fought hard, lived life his own way, and was loved more than he may have ever realized. His presence will be deeply missed, but his stories will continue to be told, his songs will be remembered, and his spirit will live on through the family who loved him.
You will forever be loved, forever remembered, and never forgotten.
A Graveside service will be Thursday, October 22, 2026, at St. Theresa Catholic Church Cemetery at 11:00 am.
