“Pete” was born and raised on the marshlands and supported the preservation of the wetlands. He was a gator hunter, fur trapper and boat operator who loved the outdoors and traveling. He was proud to be a third-generation employee with the McIlhenny Company. His grandchildren were his life and he was always there to support them. He was involved with the Vermilion Parish 4-H for many years following his granddaughters; whether it be showing cattle, choir or dance recitals. His “Alabama” family will miss him dearly; especially his cooking, huge hugs and picking nature.
“Pete” is survived by his wife, Peggy B. Lege; two sons, Corey James Lege and his wife, Angelle (Broussard), and Chad Paul Lege and his wife, Nikki; daughter, Christy Duhon and her husband, Guy; four brothers, Paul Lonnie Lege and his wife, Valla, George Berton Lege, Robert Leland Lege and his wife, Becky, and John Barry “Chop” Lege; two sisters, Nettie Marie Lege Detraz and her husband, Daniel, and Cheryl Jane Lege Elbers and her husband, Don; five grandchildren, Fallon Lege, Emma Lege, Madison Duhon, Molly Mae Duhon and Camille Bourque; and numerous nieces and nephews.
He was preceded in death by his parents, Paul Leon “Pierre” Lege and the former Emilie Veazey; one brother, Wilton Ray Lege; one sister, Brenda Ruth Lege; and sister-in-law, Margaret Lege.
