Joseph Dale Laroux was born December 21, 1966 in Shreveport, Louisiana to Billy Ray and Mildred Laroux and entered into his eternal resting place on April 18, 2026 in Shreveport, Louisiana.

Dale passed away, leaving behind countless memories filled with laughter, music, and good times shared with those he loved. He was a beloved son, brother, cousin, uncle, and friend, who truly enjoyed the simple things in life. Dale found happiness in spending time with friends and family, listening to music, and firing up the grill for a good BBQ. He was known as the life of the party. Wherever he went, he never met a stranger and there was always sure to be laughter. He was a skilled carpenter and painter; he took pride in working with his hands and had a gift for fixing just about anything. He was always willing to lend a hand to anyone in need, never hesitating to help family or friends. More than anything, Dale will be remembered for his easy-going nature and the joy he brought to those around him. He held a special place in the hearts of many and will be missed by all who knew and loved him. His memory will live on in the stories shared, the music played, and the moments of togetherness he cherished so much.
