He retired from the Louisiana Department of Highways in 1983 as a Registered Land Surveyor. He was a Fourth Degree Honorary Life Member of the Knights of Columbus and very active in St. Joseph Parish while residing in Marksville.

"Kelly" Simoneaux and Russell A. Simoneaux; sister, Helen S Faucheux; grandsons Todd Bienvenu and Layton Crawford. He is survived by his son Kirk John Simoneaux and wife Laura of Baton Rouge; daughter Madeline Brouillette Bienvenu and husband Bo of Prairieville; four grandchildren, Mark Steven Bienvenu, Bradlee John Simoneaux (Kelley), Taylor Nelson Simoneaux, and Amanda Simoneaux Crawford; four great-grandchildren, Frankie Finley (Jared), Emily Bienvenu, Mary Brooks Simoneaux, and Wheeler John Simoneaux; one sister, Edith S Miglicco. A Mass of Christian Burial will be held at 11 AM on Friday, May 10, 2019 at St. Joseph Catholic Church of Marksville.
