Reverend Louis Caballero
June 3, 2011
Reverend Louis Caballero, 83, of Century, was called home on May 27, 2011.
He is most remembered for actively serving the Lord for 34 years. He shared the journey of life, love, enjoyment of food and marriage of 44 years with his wife Barbara, who went home to the Lord on January 24, 2010.
Throughout the 34 years of his pastoring, he was involved with developing and nurturing numerous ministries throughout the NW Florida and Southern Alabama. He also answered God’s beckoning to do missionary work in Venezuela, Dominican Republic, and China.
“Brother Lou” – interests included spreading the work of the Lord, enjoyed fishing with his family on his pontoon boat, surf fishing on the beaches of Pensacola, active in Single Action Shooting Society, and loved his “muzzle loaders.” The “long lost cowboy preacher” even started taking horseback riding lessons from his granddaughter this past year. He was an avid collector of Lionel model trains and loved setting up as well as replicating journeys throughout the country.
“Brother Lou” was known for helping those he did not know during their time of need. Simple things such as when a person asked for a “couple of bucks for gas” he filled their gas tanks. He would secretly pay for stranger’s dinners. “His work speaks for him”.
Survivors include six children, fourteen grandchildren, twelve great grandchildren, and one sister, Carmen.
Memorial services will be held at 11:00 a.m., Sunday, June 5, 2011, at the Perdido United Methodist Church, 23440 County Rd 47, Perdido, Alabama 36562.

We loved Bro Lou because his life spoke for what he believed. He lived everything that he taught. He was our pastor for several years at Perdido UMC and everyone loved him very much. He will be missed. I truly believe that he and Barb are together and that is a happy thought. May God bless all the family and loved one and I hope for all of you to see tthem one day.
