Anton Louis “Officer” Schwartz III, passed away peacefully on Friday, February 
24, 2017 at the age of 77. 

Beloved husband of 42 years to Brenda Dupuy Schwartz. Loving father of Anton 
Louis Schwartz IV (Tessa) and Kristel Schwartz Sproles (Danny). Son of the late 
Vida Hammer Schwartz and Anton Louis Schwartz II. Brother of the late Earl 
Schwartz. Grandfather of eight wonderful grandchildren, Gavin Schwartz, Chase 
Schwartz, Kendall Schwartz, Brooklyn Schwartz, Harley Schwartz, Haylee Sproles, 
Adalynn Sproles and Andrew Sproles. Also, devoted owner of his loyal dog 
Maybelline.

Anton worked 11 years at N.O.P.S.I. before joining the N.O.P.D. After 12 years, 
he joined the Mandeville Police Dept. He became the parish’s first D.A.R.E. 
Officer working at numerous Mandeville and St. Tammany Parish schools. He was 
awarded Louisiana’s D.A.R.E. Officer of the Year in 1997. Officer Schwartz was 
also selected to be a School Resource Officer, due to the relationships he had 
built with the students and the trust they had in him. Along with his passion 
for the D.A.R.E. program, he was also a volunteer girls track coach, softball 
coach, and football coach at Mandeville Jr. High.

Anton loved all sports, bar-b-quing, dog shows, going out to eat, and playing 
country guitar. But most of all, he loved and cherished spending time with 
family and friends.

Relatives and friends are invited to attend the memorial services at E.J. 
Fielding Funeral Home, 2260 W. 21st Avenue, Covington, LA 70433 on Saturday,
