Mr. Comeaux was an active member of the Maurice Volunteer Fire Department, where he dedicated 47 years of his life to protecting the members of his community, working tirelessly to expand the growth of the fire department. Beyond the fire department, Mr. Comeaux devoted his time to his profession as a teacher, eventually retiring as the Vermillion Parish School Board Maintenance Supervisor.
Mr. Comeaux’s joy rooted from being the staple in his family and a servant to his community.
His roles as a devoted Husband, Father, Grand-Father, and Great-Grandfather, afforded him the opportunity to provide his loved ones with heartfelt advice and guidance regardless of the difficulty of the situation.

He will be dearly missed by his family and friends.
