Guy Schexnaydre

Guy Francis Schexnaydre, 58, of Gonzales, Louisiana, passed away peacefully on October 10, 2025, with his wife by his side. A loving husband, supportive father, respected boss and mentor, and cherished friend, Guy will be missed dearly by all who knew him.

The fourth of seven children born to Dayton and Lady Schexnaydre, Guy was born in Donaldsonville, LA, on January 9, 1967. After graduating from Louisiana State University, Guy worked in construction management for over 35 years, serving as Executive Vice President of Construction at Brown & Root Industrial Services. He loved spending time with his family, fishing, and golfing with his friends, and, more than anything, talking about all of those things with friends, family, and strangers alike.

Guy is survived by his beloved wife of 34 years, Tina Lopinto Schexnaydre; children, Dylan Schexnaydre (Hannah), Madeline Daigle (Brandon), and Dean Schexnaydre; grandchildren, Parker and Nolan Daigle; mother, Carmen “Lady” Daigle Schexnaydre; brothers Dale (Deenie), Neal (Judy), Chris (Torrie), and Brian (Jeanette) Schexnaydre; sisters Carmen Ramber (Dawson) and Diane McGovern (Kelly); and many nieces and nephews. His family will remember him as funny, affable, and generous, always walking around whistling and offering people a job or a place to stay.

He was preceded in death by his father, Guy Dayton Schexnaydre.

The family wishes to thank Dwayne Labatut, NP, Dr. McCanless, Dr. Wood, Dr. Leblanc, and their teams. Thanks to their care, Guy was able to enjoy his son’s wedding and the birth of his second grandson this year.

In lieu of flowers, memorial donations can be made to Cancer Services of Greater Baton Rouge.
