John David Mayeux passed away on Saturday, April 2, 2022 at the age of 86. He was born on September 5, 1935, in Plaucheville, LA and was a resident of New Orleans, LA and Kenner, LA.

Then, in 1956, he was awarded a Bachelor of Arts degree at Southwestern Louisiana Institute of Lafayette with a 2.80 GPA. Applying for a job as a Commercial Artist proved to be futile with no experience. Accepting employment as a Draftsman, he evolved into Design-Draftsman, spanning the fields of architecture, metal works, offshore oil platforms, refineries, reinspections of a nuclear plant, a wastewater plant operator, abandoned building monitor, a plan reviewer, developer of standards and office forms. He was preceded in death by a brother, John Evans Mayeux (1932), his father P. Clinton (1968), his mother Eunice Saucier (1975), his sister Vida Rose (1995) and by her husband Johnnie L.
