Timothy Mayeux Obituary

Timothy "Tim" James Mayeux passed away on Saturday, April 20, 2024, at the age of 59. He was born in New Orleans, LA and was a resident of Luling, LA. Tim was a farmer, a hard worker, lover of all things mechanical, pilot for MYU Helicopters, a jokester with a strong accent, and a friend to everyone, whether you knew him or not. Look, let me tell ya, he never met a stranger and brought joy to everyone who crossed his path, ya know? Who does that sound like!? He loved his family fiercely and he loved his Jesus. Although he can be remembered for so many things, most importantly, he leaves a legacy of a man whose faith and love for Jesus shone brightly for all to see. Over the past year, he reflected a statement made by one of his favorite pastors, Francis Chan. "We have to believe it enough that it changes how we live." He believed it. Believed in God, with his whole heart. And the change was obvious to all who knew him. He fought the good fight, finished the race, and kept the faith. We can rejoice with hope, knowing that we will see him again! Tim was the beloved husband of 22 years to Dawn De Gruy Mayeux. Loving father of Timothy James Mayeux, Jr., Hannah May Mayeux, Colby Michelle Mayeux, Seth Timothy Mayeux and the late Kathryn Elizabeth Mayeux. Grandfather of Ellie Raynece Mayeux and Maddox Marcellus Mayeux. Son of Barbara Jean Richard Mayeux and the late James Edward Mayeux, Sr. Brother of James Edward Mayeux, Jr. (Karen), Reneé Mayeux Bordelon (Brian) and Joey Mayeux Milazzo (Tim). He is also survived by many nieces and nephews, extended family members, and friends. The family will receive visitors on Friday, April 26, at 10:00 am with a memorial service to commence at 11:00 am, and a reception following immediately after. Everything will take place at Celebration Church, 3550 Williams Blvd., Kenner, Louisiana. Arrangements by L. A. Muhleisen and Son Funeral Home.

I´ve known Timmy since he had the Magnum PI copter, just getting started. I was in the tanker business as an agent at that time. He treated everyone like a close friend and was someone you loved being around. Though we had our own lives to live, when I called him, he´d answer like I was the most important person in the world. Myself and the rest of the maritime industry have lost a truly beautiful sole.

Dawn and kids I am so sorry I didn´t take the time to get out of my truck on Monday to at least introduce myself and give y´all a hug. My sincere apologies. But know Dawn that you were married to and kids y´all´s father was one of the very best people I have know in my life! God bless!

My sincere condolences to Tim´s family.
Tim flew me offshore many times over the last 20 years when I was working as a Lightering Advisor doing ship to ship lightering of crude oil. It was always good knowing that I would be flying with Tim. His professionalism as a pilot and a kindness as a person, I will always remember.
With respect and regards,

I met Tim over 35 years ago when he was flying his first helicopter ( a Hughes 500 painted just like the one from the hit TV show "Magnum PI "). He was a character back then and that never change at all. Later, around 2008, he showed up at AMA airport interested in buying a plane and joining the club. We took a plane ride that day and instantly became really good friends. Of course, he did join the club, he did build a hangar and he did buy a plane as you might expect. He had pretty big ideas for himself and for the club , which was normal for Tim. Our little airport will be forever grateful for the countless things he´s done for us and our club through the years. The local airways and ATC will forever miss the unique and unmistakable sound of his voice (7MY /Tim Mayeux) on the radio. Much like his radio voice, Tim had a very unique one of a kind personality also. He was funny and always looking for a laugh but most of all he was a good hearted God loving man with lots of faith who always tried to do the right thing. His kindness touched many lives. He was a very good friend to us and his memories will live on in our hearts forever. There will never be another Tim Mayeux and we will miss him dearly. Our sympathies go out to Dawn and the entire Mayeux family. Thanks for the good times! RIP My friend!

Tim has been and will always be one of my greatest blessings. No doubt, with his passing the world became a smaller place. He is greatly missed!

I am so sorry to hear of Timothy's death. I didn't actually know him well, but was a neighbor who enjoyed watching his helicopters take off and land. He always seemed like a very nice person and I know he will be missed. My prayers are with his family at this difficult time.
