Gerald Paul Mayers

A ceremony celebrating the life of Gerald Paul Mayers will be held on Thursday at Galvez Pentecostal Church with visitation beginning at 11am until service at 1pm. Interment will follow at the church cemetery. 

Gerald went home to be with the Lord on October 14, 2025, at the age of 72 years.

He was born on February 21, 1953, in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, to the late Alfred and Ethel Mayers. Gerald was a loving husband, father, grandfather, and friend. He was deeply devoted to his family and will be remembered for his kindness, faith, and gentle spirit.

Gerald enjoyed the simple things in life-spending time at the camp, hunting, fishing, and tinkering with anything he thought needed fixing. He had a natural gift for working with his hands and found joy in making or repairing things for others. His calm presence and easygoing spirit made him a source of comfort and laughter to family and friends.

Gerald was preceded in death by his parents, Alfred and Ethel Mayers; sisters Lois Whitehead and Mary Blalock and brothers A.J. Mayers, "Bubba" Allen Mayers, and Robert Wayne Mayers. As well as his wonderful baby (dog) Andre whom he recently lost.

He is survived by his beloved wife, Wanda Mayers; his son, Jared Mayers; and his daughter, Natalie Lyons (David). He also leaves behind one cherished granddaughter, Kylie Ann Lyons. Gerald's love extended to his stepchildren, Angel Hebert (Quint), Crystal Mauney (Chad), and James Paul Mauney (Lee). He was also blessed with several step-grandchildren, Katelyn Montano (Desmon), Kailey Hebert, Kameron Hebert, Kadence Bordelon, Isaiah Mauney and Cory Bordelon as well as great-grandchildren, Kasen Montano, Kash Montano, Willow Bordelon, and Aspyn Bordelon.

Gerald will be remembered for his big heart, unwavering love for his family, and his steady faith in God. Gerald spent much of his time witnessing to people online and in person, any chance he could, bringing everyone closer to God. He was a devoted and faithful servant. He will be deeply missed and forever cherished by those who were blessed to know him.
