As a proud veteran of the United States Marine Corps, Shannon served honorably from July 3, 1995, until July 2, 1999, achieving the rank of Sergeant. He earned several commendations during his service, including the Good Conduct Medal and the Meritorious Unit Commendation, which reflect his commitment to excellence and duty. His achievements also included the National Defense Service Medal, the Sea Service Deployment Ribbon, and marksmanship badges, showcasing his skill and determination.

Buzz was a man who truly lived life outdoors and found joy in the simple, meaningful moments that brought people together.

Buzz had a deep love for fishing and hunting, always happiest when surrounded by nature. Whether he was casting a line at sunrise, out in the woods, or out frogging on a warm night, he felt at home in the great outdoors. He also enjoyed shooting guns, playing cards with family and friends, and collecting coins-each one holding its own story and value, just like the memories he created with those he loved. 

He is survived by his father, Curtis Lagrange (Judy); daughter, Ajha Thibodeaux, her husband and son; step-brother, Ricky Hebert; step-sisters, Mia Williams and Nickie Taylor; godchild, Alyssa Leblanc; and a host of loving aunts, uncles and cousins. 

He is preceded in death by his mother, Delia Taylor Lagrange; maternal grandparents, Moise and Lucy Taylor; paternal grandparents, Lloyd and Geraldine Toby Lagrange, Sr.; step-brother, Christopher Taylor; godfather, Minus Taylor; and a host of loving aunts, uncles and cousins. 

Pallbearers will be Ricky Hebert, II, Lonnie Zerangue, Cookie Lagrange, Lil John Deville, James Robin and Trent Lagrange. 

Pellerin Funeral Home of Arnaudville (337-332-2111) is in charge of arrangements.
