Edward John Mayeaux

Edward John Mayeaux passed from this life to the presence of his Savior and Lord on Tuesday, February 4, 2025. He was born the only child of Carcil and Agnes Mayeaux on October 27, 1938 in Plaucheville, Louisiana. He graduated from Redemptorist High School in 1956. He served his country through the United States Army. His great love of LSU began when he became the first member of his family to go and finish college. From that time forward, he loved those Tigers from football to baseball to basketball. He and his high school sweetheart, Patricia Acy, committed to a life of service, faith, and family on October 3, 1959 at St. Gerard Majella Catholic Church. Together they raised three thankful children, fished the waters of south Louisiana, and enjoyed the blessings of many loving friends and family. 

During his years in Baton Rouge and Central, Louisiana, Edward lived a life of service to the Catholic Church, Boy Scouts, and ministering to couples through Marriage Encounter. He spent his work life ensuring the accounts of the companies he worked for were up to perfection. He retired from Jacobs Engineering as a purchasing agent. He and Patricia spent their retirement years on the “riber der” with his family and friends. The years on Belle River were ones of memories and great joy. He loved hosting and opening their home to friends and family.Edward also thoroughly enjoyed serving his family and friends with the best fried fish, fried shrimp, boiled crabs, and boiled crawfish ever eaten on a pier. He continued his life of service through volunteer work including the Pierre Part Fire Department. He and Patricia have enjoyed their most recent year at the Blake at Colonial Club in Harahan, Louisiana. 

He is preceded in death by his parents, his in-laws Roby and Rosemary Acy, and his son-in-law Christopher Scott. He is survived by his beautiful and faith-filled wife of 65 years, Patricia Acy Mayeaux. He is also survived by his children and their spouses, E.J. and Marcia Scamardo Mayeaux of Leesville, South Carolina, Joey and Amanda Mayeaux of St. Martinville, Louisiana, and Tina Scott of New Orleans, Louisiana.

He leaves one great-granddaughter, Henley Hammond.
