Remy was born in Plattsburgh, NY, the son of Remy L. and Kathleen R. (Morgan) Babineaux. He grew up in northern NY, graduating with the class of 2000 at Franklin Academy in Malone. Upon completion of high school, Remy moved to the Finger Lakes to be a Corrections Officer with the newly constructed Five Points Correctional Facility in Romulus. It was a career that he enjoyed, especially the camaraderie that he shared with his coworkers who were like his family. His coworkers will surely miss his cooking, especially his signature dish of a north country favorite, Michigans. Growing up in the north country, hockey became part of his everyday life. His passion for hockey lead him to become the Head Coach for both the Geneva Generals and most recently the Syracuse Blazers youth hockey teams. During his years coaching, he positively impacted the lives of so many children and their families' who enjoyed the sport of hockey. As Remy put it "Hockey family is the best." Remy was known for his selfless attitude and for always putting others' needs ahead of his own.
