Location Notes
Mr. Quebedeaux could be remembered with a marker at his long-time work place, the Harris County Pollution Control Services and Department; 101 South Richey Street, Suite H, Pasadena, Texas 77506. His legacy is honored through Quebedeaux Park in downtown Houston, being redeveloped as Remembrance Park. There does not seem to be a state marker for him.
