Hunter Reed Lyle, age 31, of Mandeville, Louisiana passed away on Sunday, April 5, in Mandeville. Hunter grew up in Mandeville and was a graduate of Fontainebleu High School. He was working as a chef in one of Mandeville's favorite hotspots, doing one of the things he loved most which was creating great food for others. In addition to his love of cooking, Hunter loved all things creative. From artwork to gardening and building things around the house, he was a very giving person who would do anything for anybody at any time. At home, Hunter enjoyed spending quiet time with his wife Maddie and dog Mimi. He also enjoyed spending some not-so-quiet time with his large boisterous family. All of whom will miss him terribly. Hunter loved eating crawfish, cooking with family, playing with his nieces and nephews and making others laugh. He cherished his role as the "fun uncle bean" and a loving husband and we will remember him as such.
Hunter is survived by his wife, Madeline Guidry Lyle. He was the son of Troy and Tracy Lyle of Mandeville. Brother, Justin Troy Lyle, wife Mary Catherine, and nephews: Theodore, Jackson and Beckham Lyle of Mandeville. Sister Sydney Lyle Wahlen, husband Jason, and nieces Eleanor and Addison of Mandeville. Sister, Bayley Lyle Hernandez, husband Brock, and nephews Lyle and Baker of Shreveport. He was the grandson of Bill and Eileen Pettingill of Covington, Jack and Maura Donahue of Covington, Terry and Sandy Brookshaw of Westlake Village, CA, and the late Jim and Dusty Lyle of The Villages, FL. He will also be missed by many aunts, uncles, cousins and longtime friends.
Visitation will be held for Hunter on Saturday, April 11, 2026 at St. Timothy on the Northshore beginning at 11:00AM until the Funeral Service at 12:00PM. The family asks that you dress casually and comfortably for services, as Hunter would have wanted.
