Daniel James Menard Obituary - Visitation & Funeral Information

A Mass of Christian Burial will be held at 10:00 am on Wednesday, October 2, 2019 at Sts. Peter and Paul Catholic Church in Scott for Daniel James Menard at the age of 74 who passed away on September 27, 2019. Dan, a resident of Lafayette, was the son of the late Ernest Pete Menard and Elaine Falcon Menard. He is survived by his wife, Judy Richard Menard; two daughters, Katherine Maureen Menard, Kellie Menard Brewer and her husband, Gary, grandchildren; Abigayle Cole Brewer, Jacob Gary Brewer and Daniel James Brewer; two sisters, Linda Menard Bustamante and her husband, Jamie and Jeanne Menard Guidry and her husband, Patrick, and numerous beloved Godchildren. He was preceded in death by his parents; brother, Jerry Menard and sister Molly Menard Trahan. Dan grew up in Mire and attended Rayne High School. After serving in the US Navy, Dan was involved in numerous successful businesses and was an entrepreneur at heart. He loved making any deal work and was associated with the automobile industry, real estate development, and banking. Most recently, he served as chairman of the board for St. Martin Bank. Dan loved giving more than receiving and left a positive impact on everyone he met. The only thing he loved more than a good gin game was spending time with his three grandchildren. He laughed at their stories, cried in their happiness and constantly shared his wisdom with them. Dan was always open to new ideas; he valued every opportunity for investment, and constantly honored his word. He was a loving husband, a committed father, a loyal grandfather, and counselor to so many more. Dan was loved by many and will be missed by all. Heaven is rejoicing in his presence, and rest assured, the angels are laughing. There will never be another Dan Menard.
