Frank Paul Monceaux

Frank Paul Monceaux was born on January 12, 1951, in Gueydan, LA, and peacefully passed away on January 15, 2025, at his residence with his devoted family by his side. While his ailment may have taken him from this earth too soon, it never robbed him of his love for his family.

Frank was a third-generation rice and soybean farmer, and, later in his career, he also farmed crawfish. For a while, he prepared meals for local hunting camps and fed hunters their bounty with flavor through his favorite recipes. Once he "retired", he hauled crops for Mr. Trevor Hair and shared his knowledge with younger farmers so that they, too, may carry forth the livelihood with their families.

We choose to remember him for the hard work ethic he bestowed on each of us. The kindness and compassion he showed to us and the tough love he gave when we needed it most. He showed us how to relax after the work is done and have fun and love through it all.For this one farmer the worries are over and struggles enough. It is time to reap the fields of golden wheat and bask in the Glory of The Son. Your work here is done - park the truck, put the tractor in the shed, put away your tools and rest in peace. We will close the gate for you, Daddy.

Frank leaves behind his wife of 53 years, Debra Monceaux and his four children, Kayla (Bobby) Wood, Julie (Steve) Monceaux, Jason (Kim) Monceaux and Kevin Monceaux. He loved his nine grandchildren, Austin (Alyssa) Wood, Ashley Wood, Brianne (John) Compton, Ariel Guidry, Alexis Monceaux, Aaron Monceaux, Matthew Verdine, Lars Monceaux and Londin Monceaux. He also was blessed with thirteen great grandchildren.

Frank was preceded in death by his parents, Irvin and LouDella Monceaux; his paternal grandparents, Fred and Evelyn Monceaux; maternal grandparents, Joseph and Ada Vincent. Also, loyally awaiting Frank, with his tail wagging in anticipation, is Keystone, his beloved Yorkie and the favorite child.
