**Obituary for Elton Mayes, Sr.**
It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of Elton Mayes, Sr., who left this world on October 31, 2025, at the age of 55. Elton was born on February 12, 1970, and spent his life in the warm embrace of his beloved community in Jonesville, Louisiana.
Elton was a devoted husband, father, a cherished friend, and a respected member of his community. Known for his infectious laughter and kind spirit, he had a unique ability to light up any room he entered. His love for his family was boundless, and he took great pride in being a father to his children, instilling in them the values of hard work, compassion, and integrity.
Elton is survived by his loving wife, children, family, and a host of friends who will carry his memory in their hearts. He leaves behind a legacy of love, kindness, and resilience that will continue to inspire those who were fortunate enough to know him.
A funeral service to honor Elton's life will be held at St. Mark Baptist Church, located at 900 East H Johnson Street, Jonesville, Louisiana, on Saturday, November 8, 2025, at 11:00 AM CST. Prior to the service, there will be a public viewing and visitation from 10:00 AM to 11:00 AM CST at the same location.
In this time of sorrow, we invite all who knew Elton to come together to celebrate his life and the joy he brought to so many. May his soul rest in peace, and may his memory be a blessing to all.
