          Nathan "Coon" Cyril Menard
February 11, 2933 - September 16, 2020


Nathan "Coon" Cyril Menard, father of LFDA Member Pat Menard, passed away Wednesday, September 16, 2020 at his daughters home surrounded by his family in Maxie, LA.  

Nathan “Coon” Menard began playing house dances with his father at a very young age. In 1962, he formed his band, The Rayne Playboys. They had many recordings and were a popular band in the local dancehalls. An accordionist, vocalist, and songwriter, Nathan has performed with Adam Hebert, Lawrence Walker, The Balfa Brothers, Jay W. Pelsia, Bernard Thibodeaux, The Touchet Brothers, and Mitt Melancon, just to mention only a few of the many accomplished musicians. He was still entertaining in his later years with Gervis Matte and the Branch Playboys and performed many weekends at Prejean’s Restaurant. One of Nathan’s many proud moments was when his album, “The Cajun Swing”, was inducted into the Smithsonian Institute of Cajun Music. 
 
Nathan shared his love for Cajun music and its culture with many people throughout the United States by preforming at many festivals and workshops where he helped many learn how to play the Cajun accordion. He also gave back to his early-day followers as he regularly performed in local guest homes.
 
During his lifetime, Nathan was honored with many awards and achievements. In 2000, he was inducted into the Rayne/Acadia Parish “Hall of Fame” and presented with a Signature Award for his outstanding contribution to our rich musical heritage. In 2016, he and his band, The Rayne Playboys, were awarded by the CFMA with the “Tribute to Cajun Musicians” award. In 2017, Nathan was honored by the Cajun Culture Association for his many years of dedication to the preservation of his Cajun culture and music.
 
In addition to his career in music, Nathan was also very well-known through his many years of selling life insurance. He was employed by Security Industrial and Monumental Life Insurance companies for numerous years. Nathan visited and cared for his many clients on a daily basis which earned him many prestigious company awards.  
 
Nathan was an avid gardener and provided his family and many friends with vegetables. People would travel from near and far to visit with him and get his famous freshly cut and cooked okra.
His humbleness, generous heart, warm smile, love for his family, and his love for preserving the heritage of Cajun music and culture, are some of the many things that will be greatly missed about Nathan.

          John Vickers
April 25, 2020


On Saturday, April 25, 2020, Louisiana's community of funeral professionals lost an invaluable member, in the passing of John N. Vickers, III, at the age of 79.
He was the devoted husband of Meredith "Dee" Lemoine Vickers. Loving father of John Joseph Vickers (Mindy), Debra Lynn Vickers (Troy LeBlanc), and Deral Lynn Morse (Ricky). Proud grandfather of Jonathan (Ashlyn Jessie), Payton, and Braden Vickers; Brandon and Amber Gross, and Tiffany Droddy (Patrick); Dani and Derrick Morse; and six great-grandchildren. He was preceded in death by his parents, the late John N. Vickers, Jr., and the late Bernice Barnes Vickers.
John embarked on his illustrious career in the funeral industry after graduating from Common Wealth Institute of Funeral Service in Houston, Texas, and became a licensed funeral director and embalmer in Louisiana in 1965.
A two-term president of the Louisiana Funeral Director's Association, John served the families of the greater New Orleans area with professionalism and compassion for a total of 55 years. He moved from Baton Rouge in 1972, to St. Bernard Parish, where he was the manager of Lamana Panno Fallo Funeral Home until it's acquirement by Stewart Enterprises. John subsequently managed and worked for St. Bernard Memorial until opening and managing his own funeral home, Vickers, Verrette, and Dornan, from 2000 - 2005. He ultimately became synonymous with funeral service in St. Bernard Parish.
John played an instrumental role in the recovery and identification of Hurricane Katrina’s true victims, as well as the restoration of numerous cemeteries after Hurricanes Katrina and Isaac. He was an active member of the Disaster Mortuary Operational Response Team, Region VI, for 20 years, as well as an instructor for the Louisiana Office of Emergency Preparedness.
Outside of his career as a funeral director and embalmer, John thrived by giving back to his community. He was a Lieutenant of the St. Bernard Parish Sheriff's Office, a collaborator of the Louisiana Job Training Partnership Act, and a past president of the Rotary Club of St. Bernard, where he was the founding chairman of the St. Bernard Junior Miss Scholarship Program.
In recent years, John was a funeral director at St. Bernard Memorial Funeral Home, where he dutifully worked until the day before his admission to the hospital. There, he received a diagnosis of aggressive pancreatic cancer. Surrounded by his loving family, he passed away peacefully, in his home, a few days later.
A memorial service and celebration of John's life will be celebrated in the future, as soon as gatherings are permitted.

May 28, 1947 - March 9, 2020


A resident of Amite passed away on Monday, March 9, 2020, at his home surrounded by his loving family. He was born May 28, 1947, in Amite and was 72 years of age. Tommy was a graduate of Amite High School, attended Northwestern Louisiana University, and was a graduate of Commonwealth Institute of Funeral Services.

          Beverly Blanc Mire
September 3, 1947 - September 27, 2019


A Mass of Christian Burial for Beverly Blanc Mire will be held at 11:00 a.m. on Tuesday, October 1, 2019, in Our Lady of the Most Holy Rosary Catholic Church in Kaplan, LA.  Rev. Fr. Gary Schexnayder will celebrate the Mass.  Rite of Committal and interment will follow in the Kaplan Cemetery. 

Beverly passed away on Friday, September 27, 2019, at her home in Kaplan.  She was born in Kaplan, LA, on September 3, 1947, and was a longtime resident of Kaplan.  She was a parishioner of the Our Lady of the Most Holy Rosary Catholic Church in Kaplan for many years.   She participated in the Meaux Country Daisies Homemakers' Club, The Lafayette Square Dancers Club, Krewe of Chic-a-la-Pie Mardi Gras Association of Kaplan, and the Breaux's Supper Club group.

She was known for her great home-cooking, her Southern Cajun hospitality, her open door, and her hot, delicious coffee visits.  She enjoyed all of the simplest pleasures in life from dancing, traveling on vacations, going to many New Orleans Mardi Gras and Irish Italian parades, playing cards, crabbing trips, fishing, and listening to French music.  When her kids were growing up, she would sew their clothes, hem pants, and make formal dresses for events.  Her family and friends lived for her home-cooking, and she was known for her delicious crawfish etouffee, stuffed bell peppers in a tomato gravy, cakes, and holiday candy.  Whatever Granny cooked, it tasted better coming from her loving kitchen.  She would share her love by making crocheted afghans for each child, grandchild, great-grandchild, family members, and special people in the family which kept us all warm during the winter weather. 

True pastimes for her would be tending to her rose bushes, her plants, reading the newspaper, doing color art in her adult coloring books, and getting the house ready for the Christmas holidays was as she would put up each ornament on her Christmas tree with care. Granny never saw the need in learning to drive a car, her chauffer was either her husband or her children all these years and she didn't miss a beat in her travels.

She cherished her family and enjoyed visiting and spending time with relatives and close friends, especially her grandchildren. Her love for God, family, friends, and the joy of life will remain forever. She will be missed dearly by all but her sweet, southern grace will be in the hearts of all who knew and loved her. 

She is survived by her husband of 56 years, Marion Dale Mire of Kaplan; three sons: Leslie Mire and wife, Nora of Lafayette; Thad Mire and wife, Jana of Kaplan; and Leighton Mire and wife, Holly of Duson; daughter, Retanna Mire of Opelousas; grandchildren: Blaine Mire and wife, Jennifer of West Monroe; Heather Mire of Lafayette; Aimee Mire of Iota, Gabrielle Mire Cross of  Glenmora; Hillary Mire of Kaplan; Landon Olivares of Opelousas; and Nicholas Mire of Duson; step grandchildren: James Alt and wife, Julianne of Baton Rouge; Michael Alt and wife, Colleen of Mandeville; Natalie Mills of Lafayette; Channon Duplechin Ardoin of Lafayette; and Cydney Duplechin of Mississippi; great-grandchildren: Gracie Cross, Emmery Cross, Nikohl Warrington, Elijah Mire, and Jacob Mire; step great-grandchildren: Allison Alt, Andrew Alt, Eloise Alt; and Charleigh Ardoin; special cousins, Jeanette Pertuit and husband, Wayne of Marrero; sister, Linda B. LeMaire and husband, Leo of Kaplan; brother, Howard Blanc, Jr. of Morgan City; sister-in-law, Shirley Bourque and husband, Donald of Kaplan; brother-in-law, Gerald C. Mire of Kaplan; and a host of nieces and nephews.

Faulk and husband, Larry Faulk; brothers, Raymond Mark Blanc, and wife, Gladys Blanc; and Gerald Mark Blanc; daughter-in-law, Cherri Saltzman Mire; father-in-law and mother-in-law, Elton Mire and Edmay Hardy Mire; paternal grandparents, Eddie and Mary Blanc; maternal grandparents, Leodious and Estelle Roche; and sister-in-law, Kathleen Mire.
