Lenny Paul Serpas Sr. has passed on from this Earth to true Paradise on Monday, August 24, 2020 at the age of 82. He was the son of the late Clement Serpas (of Violet, LA) and Eloskia Bernard Serpas (of Galliano, LA). Lenny was born on October 10, 1937 as the fourth of five sons; Clement Jr. (Bobo), Clarence (John), Terrance (Nookie), Lenny Jr. and Lionel Serpas. Lionel the youngest is still awaiting to see them all in Heaven. Lenny married Catherine Kelty from Delacroix Island and they had a joyous 60-year marriage before Catherine passed in 2018. They are survived by their three children; Lenny Serpas Jr., Sandy Serpas Nunez and Blaise J. Serpas; eight grandchildren; Amber, Jenni, Aaron, Gage, Matthew, Michael, Blaise Jr. and Conner, as well as many great grandchildren, cousins and dear friends. Lenny was a lifelong resident of Violet, LA where he was an avid fisherman and a generous member of the Catholic Church. Lenny loved riding his Harley, being outdoors with his friends & family and enjoyed a long career with Exxon Mobil. He grew and guided his family as the Patriarch in the truest, most determined sense of the word. His strength, humor, love and humility will continue in our little swamp that is better for having his light dance upon it for 82 glorious years. Rest grandpa. You certainly earned your wings. Relatives and friends are invited to attend a memorial gathering to be held at Our Lady of Lourdes Catholic Church, 2621 Colonial Blvd, Violet, LA on Saturday, September 5, 2020, from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m., followed by a Memorial Mass in Lenny’s memory beginning at 12 p.m. He will be laid to rest at a later date in St. Bernard Catholic Cemetery. Due to COVID-19, face masks and social distancing are required. To view and sign the Family guestbook, please visit www.stbernardmemorial.com
