Cilton was born on July 20, 1956, to Cilton Villemarette, Sr., and Gracie Mae LaBauve, in Jennings, Louisiana. As an only child, he was their pride and joy. Being an only child made Cilton decide to have a big family, in which he later in life had five children. He was a kind, caring, and loving soul. He was a special man and if you knew him, you knew how great he was. He loved his time being a stay-at-home dad and cherished every moment he had with his children. Just as much as he loved being a dad, he loved being a grandpa to his beautiful grandchildren. His grandchildren brought many smiles to his face, every time he spoke of them. 

In his spare time, he enjoyed cooking, fishing, and music (especially rock). For many years, he and his father enjoyed working the land and cattle. Cilton loved having company over and having a great time living life. He was such a unique soul and will always hold a special place in our hearts. 

Left to cherish his memories are his daughters, Crystal Villemarette of Beaumont, TX, Courtney (Barry Richard, II) Villemarette of Lake Arthur, LA., and Gabby (Jonathan Spradley) Villemarette of McKinney, TX. ; sons, Jeremy (Pablo Gonzales) Villemarette and Cilton (Sheva) Villemarette, III of Lake Charles, LA. ; and his grandchildren, Raine and CJ Villemarette. 

He is preceded in death by his parents. 

The family would like to express their appreciation to Granville and Ruby Sexton and also Charlene Oliver, for the love and compassion they have gave to Cilton over the years.
