Steven Marc Dugal

Steven Marc Dugal, 60, of Mandeville, LA, passed away peacefully surrounded by his loved ones. A devoted husband, father, grandfather, and friend, Steven’s life was defined by his unwavering love for family, his deep faith, and his commitment to leaving a lasting legacy.

He is survived by his beloved wife, Lisa Romero Dugal, with whom he built a life full of love, laughter, and cherished memories. He was a proud father to Kathryn Nicole Dugal Simpson (Shelby) and Nicholas Alvin Dugal (Christina), and the adored "Doogie" to his grandchildren, Reid Andrew Dugal, Adalyn Rose Simpson, Rowan Allen Simpson, and Rhyatt Alvin Simpson. His grandpup, Odysseus, and his beloved dogs, Buster and Boomer, were also part of his ever-growing circle of love. He is also survived by his siblings, Robert Dugal, Dianne Dugal (TJ), Edgar Dugal III, Rebecca Caruso (Keith), Dwayne Dugal (Sheri), and Matthew Dugal, as well as his stepfathers, Phil Norse and Jim Burleigh.

Steven now joins his mother, Barbara Breaux Burleigh; his father, Gene Dugal; his father-in-law, Donald J. Romero; and his best friend, Will S. Hornsby, in eternal rest.

A proud UL Lafayette alum and retired managing partner for Northwestern Mutual, Steven was a leader and mentor, inspiring countless colleagues and clients with his wisdom and integrity. Beyond his professional success, he was a man who found true joy in the simple pleasures of life—playing tennis and golf, giving back to his community, and, most importantly, spending time with the people he loved most. He loved horses and watching horse races, spending time at his Lakehouse, and in the mountains of Crested Butte. Steven also found great peace and comfort in his faith, and he loved to pray the rosary.

Steven’s legacy is one of love, faith, and generosity. His impact on the lives of those around him will continue to be felt for generations to come. His family finds comfort in knowing that his spirit will forever live on in their hearts and in the countless lives he touched.
