FON was the owner and operator of FON’S Pest Management for 33 years.  During this time, he served as a member of the Cajun Pest Control Assoc. and Louisiana Pest Control Assoc.  He was commissioned through Terrebonne Parish Sherriff’s Office for 30 years where he was involved with the Annual Fuzz Bait Fishing Rodeo.  He enjoyed fishing and hunting with his close friends who were like family to him.  He loved entertaining friends and family for Mardi Gras and was a member of Hercules for many years.


The family would like to express a sincere thank you to all the caregivers at CIS (with special thanks to Dr. Shane Prejean) and all the wonderful nurses at Terrebonne General Medical Center who were able to put up with his silly joking ways.  This is not “goodbye” to our loved one, it is “see you later” in God’s kingdom and look forward the date we are reunited.

Samart Funeral Home of Houma, West Park is in charge of arrangements.
