Roland was a faithful member of Teche Baptiste Church, where he had great love for his church family. He served as a former member of the Henderson Fire Department. His dedication and passion for his work was truly remarkable, leaving a lasting impact on all who had the pleasure of knowing him. His career as a supervisor took him to various locations worldwide where he showcased his skills and expertise in the oilfield industry. Roland's greatest passions were spending time with his loved ones, riding motorcycles and four-wheelers and helping his son with carpentry work.

Roland mentored Eli Moore and Luke Boyer, who became very close and dear to his heart. He cherished their time spent together. Him and his lifelong best friend, Larry Pigott, enjoyed spending time together, growing in faith with the knowledge they shared for God and the love of spiritual guidance they gave to others. Spending time with his dear neighbors, Louis and Aline Robin was something he enjoyed. Roland was a true God-fearing, family man, who would often give Biblical advice to others. He was a loving and devoted father, grandfather, great-grandfather and brother, who will be greatly missed by all who knew and loved him.

He is survived by his daughters, Kelly Bodoin (Casey) and Sandra LeBlanc; daughter-in-law, Lisa LeBlanc; sister, Janelle Huval (Gene); grandchildren, Megan Anslem (Trent), Madison LeBlanc, Logan LeBlanc (Olivia), Cameron LeBlanc (Rylie), Andre' Poupart (Emily), Aaron Poupart (Amber), Rusty Bergeron (Ashley) and Brianna Bergeron; 16 great-grandchildren; and a host of nieces and nephews. 

He is preceded in death by his wife, Dollie LeBlanc; son, Roland "Brother" Leblanc, Jr.; parents, Holden LeBlanc and Isabel Hebert LeBlanc; brother, Lawrence LeBlanc; sisters, Florence Duplechein and Margaret Duplechein; niece, Denise Huval; great-grandchildren, Adley Poupart and Zayne Alexander; and great-nephew, Justin Duplechein.
