Mearl Louis Arceneaux

Mearl Louis Arceneaux passed away on the 28th of September, 2018 at the age of 86.
He was preceded in death by his parents, siblings, and the love of his life and wife of over 60 years, Isabelle “Bobbie” Arceneaux.
Mearl grew up in Rayne, Louisiana. He was a hardworking man with great compassion and integrity, and treated everyone with respect and dignity.
After proudly serving his country for 26 years, he retired from the United States Air Force where he had a distinguished career as a computer programmer and systems analyst. He and Bobbie traveled the world and made numerous life-long friends.
They retired to their hometown of Rayne, and Mearl began a second career with the University of Louisiana at Lafayette (USL).
He was also active in the Rayne Lions Club and Arceneaux Post 77, American Legion, where he served as commander for two terms and chaired many legion events.
Mearl liked to hunt and fish, was an avid reader, and always had a good Cajun joke to share. Most of all, he enjoyed spending time with his family.
He is survived by his daughter, Kay Ryon and spouse Bob; granddaughter Nicole Stanbery and spouse Patrick; grandson Brandon Ryon; grandson Brent Ryon and spouse Stephanie; and his precious great-grandchildren, Weston, Carter and Colbie.
He will be fondly remembered and greatly missed by all who knew him.
