Visitation will be at the Boeuf Prairie Methodist Church in Fort Necessity, LA from 1:00-2:00. Sonny passed away peacefully at home surrounded by his family. The final 28 years of his life were marked by progressive physical limitations following a brain injury. Sonny was born March 11, 1933 in the family home in Fort Necessity, LA to the union of Herman Bonner "Buddy" Wiggers and Bessie Morton "Thompie" Thompson Wiggers and passed from this life Wednesday, April 13 at the home of Scott and Karla Wiggers. He was preceded in death by Cleo Harris Wiggers, his wife of 62 years, his son Gary Michael "Mike" Wiggers and a sister, Joy Wiggers Sanders. After graduation from Fort Necessity High School, Sonny attended La Tech and Northeast Louisiana State College. After serving in the US Army, he returned to the family farm with Cleo and joined the farming and ranching operations. There they raised their family, instilling in them a love for agriculture, hunting, fishing and the great outdoors. He coached many of his sons' baseball teams and they enjoyed watching them play baseball and basketball. They then attended untold numbers of baseball and basketball games all over the State of Louisiana and countless dance recitals of their grandchildren. Along with his farming activities, Sonny was active in flood control efforts and water policy in Northeast Louisiana. He was appointed to the Tensas Levee Board by Governor Dave Treen and was very involved in flood relief efforts during several epic flooding events. He was also a founding member of the Boeuf Prairie Gin Corporation and spent the harvest season helping manage ginning operations.

He is also survived by a brother, Bonner Wiggers and wife Barbara, and brother-in-law Billy Sanders. The family would like to express special thanks to his many special caregivers, especially Kim Matthews and Lashene "Sunshine" Comanche. Word can never express and thanks will never be enough for his Special, Full-Time, Personal, Stay-At-Home Nurse.Karla Wiggers. Pallbearers will be Drew Wiggers, Trey Wiggers, Karl Wiggers, Colby Spillers, Rusty Wiggers, and Brad Wiggers. Online condolences may be made at www.dennardfirstnational.com.
