Dick “Pete” Pitre passed away on Thursday evening, August 12, 2021. He was 67 years old. Beloved husband of Deborah Watson Pitre. Loving father of Tracy Pitre Guidry (Jason) and Dwan Pitre.

Son of the late Florance Thibodeaux Pitre and Thomas Joseph Pitre Jr. Also survived by many nieces and nephews. Dick was a lifelong resident of Luling.
He proudly served his country in the United States Army, and retired from Shell Oil Company in Norco after over 15 years of service. He and Debbie owned two Edsels, and he was a proud member of the International Edsel Club. He was a skilled mechanic that always was willing to lend a helping hand to anyone that needed it. Pete had infectious laugh, strong personality, and terrible dancing skills that will be greatly missed by many.
