Louis Thomas Bigham

COFFMAN Louis Bigham, of Coffman, passed away July 12, 2016 at Barnes Jewish Hospital in St. Louis at the age of 51. He was born October 5, 1964 at Red Bud, Illinois to the late Bernard Arnold Bigham and Elaine Elizabeth (Sullivan) Bigham. In addition to his parents he was preceded in death by three brothers, Patrick, Michael and Gary Bigham and one sister, Judy Knowlton.

Louis graduated from high school in Red Bud in 1982 and went on to attend trade school where he was educated in automotive technology. His father was an auto body teacher and he learned many valuable skills from him as well. On June 26, 1993 he married Lisa Kennon in Coffman and it was there that they made their home. For the past eleven years Louis had an automotive repair business at home.

An all around "good guy", Louis will be remembered for being a generous person who would do anything for his friends and family. His children will remember him for all the many practical skills he instilled in them. He was a fun loving person who enjoyed hunting, fishing and camping. Also, Louis never missed a ride on a roller coaster if he was near one.
