Sterley Joseph Matherne, Jr., known to family, friends, and business associates

He was born on October 3, 1947 in New Orleans, Louisiana. 

He and his beloved wife of forty-one years, Angela Migliore Matherne, were 
life-long residents of Destrehan, Louisiana. 

Jay is survived by his wife, son, Blake Joseph Matherne, and daughter, Dr. Amy 
Matherne Fakier, and her husband, Feizal Fakier. Jay is the son of the late 
Sterley Joseph Matherne, Sr. and the late Dardnella Boudreaux Matherne Robert 
and stepson of the late Albert Joseph Robert. Jay is the brother of Linell 
Babin, Cheryl Faucheaux, Candace Weber, Alison Chaffin, Robin Spears, and Troy

as "Uncle Jay."

Jay was a graduate of Destrehan High School and also attended Louisiana State 
University receiving a bachelor's degree in accounting. He was honorably 
discharged as a captain in the US Army. Jay was employed by Truck and 
Transportation Equipment Company of Jefferson, Louisiana, and held the title of

gardening, and doing carpentry. 
Throughout his entire life, Jay passed his passion for the great outdoors on to 
his two children and many nieces and nephews. Jay had the gift of gab and 
brought many laughs and smiles to all those he encountered with his many 
stories.
