David Mitchel Haydel

He leaves behind his loving wife, Tina Haydel, celebrating their 38th wedding anniversary on April 15th, his children, Mitchel Haydel (Stephanie) and Michelle Haydel (Jake), his grandchildren, Ian and Scarlet, and his father and stepmother, Robley and Geneva Haydel.

He is also survived by his siblings; Pam LaFont (John), Cynthia Powery (Pete), Jeffery Haydel, Stephanie Williams (Shawn), Kimberly Pastrana (Paul), and Tonda Adolph (Ernie), along with 12 nieces and nephews, 14 great nieces and nephews, and a host of aunts, uncles, and friends.

He is preceded in death by his mother; Peggy Carbo Eggleton, and his grandparents; George and Bessie Haydel and Mitchel and Annabelle Carbo.

David, “Captain Paw Paw”, loved spending time on the water and in the outdoors, hunting and fishing. He enjoyed bicycling for charity and was teaching himself how to play the guitar. Most of his joy came from the love he shared with his family. He was a devoted husband, father, grandfather, brother, and son, his dad being one of his closest friends. His grandchildren meant the world to him. He was a true pirate at heart. He will be truly missed by them, and all of those who knew and loved him.

Family and Friends are invited to attend a visitation honoring his life on Friday, April 23, 2021 for 10 AM followed by a Funeral Mass beginning at 12 PM at Westside/ Leitz-Eagan Funeral Home located at 5101 Westbank Expressway in Marrero.
