A Class of 1980 Comeaux High School graduate and 1989 University of Southwestern Louisiana graduate, Greg was a member of the baseball team, intramural-sports team and Kappa Alpha fraternity. As an insurance and financial planner, he was the owner and President of Beacon Financial Services, where he advised clients for over 30 years. As an avid reader and sportsman, Greg enjoyed sharing his passion of history and sports with friends and family, whether it was through historical sports plays, statistics or trivial knowledge. An active participant in his children’s lives, Greg volunteered his time as a mentor and coach with various organizations, including little-league football, baseball, boxing, and golf, serving as a past S.L.Y.S.I. Football Director and, most recently, Lafayette High School Golf Coach. He wanted nothing but the best for his children and always encouraged them to aim high. Loved and admired by many, Greg will be remembered for his gift of reminiscent storytelling, sly sense of humor, love of R&B and Funk music, a giving heart, and kindness and loyalty to those who were lucky to have him as a friend, but especially to his wife and children.
