Mel was a native of Waggaman, LA and a long-time resident of Slidell. He retired from his career as a program analyst for the USDA's National Finance Center after 43 years. He was also a US Army veteran. A devoted husband, father, grandfather, and friend, his clever humor and selfless nature will be greatly missed by all. As well as being a father of three and a grandfather of 5, he readily assumed the role of father to two of his grandsons and was called "Dad" and "PawPaw" by many who loved him dearly. He is survived by his beloved wife of 34 years, Kathleen Luc Zeringue, his daughters Dana Zeringue Lodes (Jim), Stephanie Zeringue Bastoe (Mike), and Leah Zeringue. Grandfather of Elizabeth Lodes, Gabriel Zeringue, Jonah Zeringue, Michael Bastoe III, and Dominic Zeringue. Son of the late Steven A. Zeringue and Lelia Faucheux Zeringue. Brother of the late Steven Zeringue Jr, the late Harris Zeringue, Myrle Z. Lozes, the late Emerson Zeringue, Lloyd Zeringue, the late Esther Z. Fontenot, Ray Zeringue, Howard Zeringue, and Dorothy Z. Krawczyk. He is also survived by many dear nieces and nephews. Funeral services will be held on Friday, August 22, 2014, at 11:00am at Honaker Funeral Home, 1751 Gause Blvd West, in Slidell.
