His sisters were Aussie Freyou Crochet (1902-1971), Noemie Freyou Buteaux (1906-1924), Leah Freyou (1908-1924), Eunice Freyou Romero (1912-1991), Stella Freyou Martin (1916-2000), Sophie Freyou Bonin (1919-2005), and Edelia Freyou Johnson (1921-2007). He was a sugarcane farmer all his life, and founder of Freyou Farms, Inc. He made his home on the Freyou plantation in Iberia Parish with his wife of 37 years (from 22 January 1938), the former Irene Landry (1918-1975). They had four children, Ernest Freyou (1939-2017), Phyllis Ann Freyou Phillips (1941-), David Glenn Freyou (1944-), and John Wayne Freyou (1945-2020).

A Requiem Mass was said at the Church of St. Nicholas, Lydia, the Rev. James Doiron, presiding. He was laid to rest beside Irene in the Freyou family plot in Memorial Park Cemetery, New Iberia.
