Lt. Curtis Dwayne Breaux
Beaumont Police Lt. Curtis Dwayne Breaux, 60, of Fannett, died Friday, July 11, 2025. He was born on July 27, 1964, to Pat and Curtis Breaux.
He loved his family. Whether he was coaching a sport, attending a dance recital or planning a family vacation, he was there, with coffee in hand, of course. He loved the beach. He loved bringing his family on vacations – Disney, Destin, Graceland, Las Vegas, New York – and so much more. He filled their lives with memories that they will never forget.
He and his wife, Lisa, enjoyed visiting Las Vegas, going to the casinos in Lake Charles, taking drives down to the beach, cruising the drag, and so much more. He never left her without a kiss on the forehead. They were high school sweethearts and his love for her will always be remembered.
He was the hardest working man. When he was not in his role as a Beaumont Police Officer – he was the entrepreneur of entrepreneurs. He always had a “new business idea” – most likely from all of his late nights in his chair in the garage. He loved his law enforcement family. He served with the Beaumont Police Department for 39 years, most recently assigned as the Commander of the Traffic Unit. He was a trusted supervisor, a steady presence, and a friend to many throughout the department.
He loved his grandchildren Alyssa and Olivia Breaux. He did anything for his buddies. He loved dressing up for all of the fun holidays with them, having lunch with Alyssa at school, letting Olivia turn his lights on and pushing all the buttons in his police car, swimming with them and so much more. He loved those girls more than anything. He was looking forward to meeting his grandson, Baylor, in the fall.
His presence will be deeply missed by all but his smile, laugh and memory will never be forgotten.
Dwayne is survived by his devoted wife of 37 years, Lisa Breaux; his children, Alex Breaux and his wife, Lyndsie Breaux; Lauren Breaux Brady and her husband, David Brady; Kaylee Breaux; and his cherished grandchildren, Alyssa Breaux, Olivia Breaux and his grandson on the way, Baylor Breaux. Dwayne is also survived by his brother, Steven Breaux and his wife, Nicky Breaux and their children, and his mother, Pat Breaux. He is preceded in death by his grandparents and his dad, Curtis Breaux.

To the Breaux family,
I knew and worked with Curtis for many years at the Police Department. He was one of what we called “one of the good guys.” You were always glad to see him on a police call because he was reliable, and you were a glad to see him under any circumstance because he was a good person. He made us all a little happier. I know I will miss him.
To the Breaux family, my heart felt condolences goes out to each and everyone of you. Curtis was a good friend, and co-worker. May he rest in peace and the family find comfort in knowing he is with the Lord. I know he was glad to see his Dad again. I am proud to have known Curtis. Take care my friend until we meet again. May God bless this family.
Really sorry to hear the news. I did some administrative contract work for the Department many years ago for a short period of time and worked with Lt. Breaux and he was always very nice, friendly, helpful and knowledgeable and he was a big help to me and my project. I enjoyed working with him. I thought he was a really good guy and an asset to the BPD. My condolences to Lt. Breaux’s family.
Pat, you have my utmost respect and love at this time. I had no idea that this was your son. As ever, Clara.
Heartfelt prayers and peaceful thoughts to the entire Breaux family. Becky & Rodney

For “Aunt Lisa,” Alex, Lyndsie, Lauren, and Kaylee –
You are all in my thoughts and prayers. I will forever miss his “HEY GURL” greetings and that big grin! Padan was simply the best. Love you guys.
RIP SIR
Everytime I talked with LT Breaux, I always walked away thinking he was one of the nicest people I knew. He would always smile and say “Hey girl!” when he saw me. I have never had a conversation or been around Lt. Breaux and been sad! He knew how to put a smile on everyones face. I was sad to learn of his passing. We are praying for comfort for his family.
Curtis Blow I want you to know, I still see your smile when you see me coming with my foolishness. You were such an humble man and I often wondered IF others thought I didn’t know your last name was Breaux. Nonetheless, it didn’t matter you would just smile and keep it moving. Rest well, this is not a goodbye but see you later! My prayers for your wife, Alex, Lindsey and Lauren during this difficult time.
Curtis, a friend and colleague. In 1993, when I was new to the business, he made me feel welcome when he did not have to. We became friends. Our kids grew up together. We visited from time to time as our careers went on. We laughed about things we got into when we were younger. Our family is sad due to your passing.
Curtis, you will be missed.
Rest easy with the Lord, my Brother in Blue.
To Cuz Pat and all of my awesome cousins,
I was so sorry to hear of Cuz Dwayne’s passing. I still remember babysitting the boys when they were very little at your house. I also remember the big family reunion at the park in Louisiana. Good times and good memories. My heart is hurting for all of you. Sending prayers and hugs 🙏❤️ Love, Cuz Jill
