Stanley Joseph Hebert Jr. Fatally Injured in Fourth Fatal Ag Accident of 2025

August 7, 2025

The members and staff of NAAA offer their deepest sympathies and condolences to the family and friends of Stanley Joseph Hebert Jr. who was fatally injured in ag aviation accident on July 23, 2025, near Thibodaux, Louisiana. Born on January 3, 1958, he was 67 years old at the time of his passing.

Stanley was a pilot for 39 years, and during that time he mentored many young pilots as a certified flight instructor. He was a man of deep faith who loved his family and was devoted to their wellbeing. Stanley also enjoyed hunting and fishing and loved being outdoors. He is survived by his wife, two children, a grandson, three siblings, as well as extended family, friends, and his hunting dog.

Stanley’s visitation was held on Sunday, July 27, 2025, at the Vincent Funeral Home in Kaplan, Louisiana. His burial mass was held the following day at Our Lady of the Most Holy Rosary Roman Catholic Church. You can read his full obituary here. In lieu of flowers, please make donations to the Healing House, “Hope for grieving children” at 160 S Beadle Rd Lafayette, LA 70508. Please keep Stanley’s family and friends in your thoughts and prayers as they mourn his passing.
