David Stephen Scherer Sr.

David Stephen Scherer Sr., aged 64, of Hammond, Louisiana, passed away on Wednesday, April 3, 2024, at his residence. He was a lifelong resident of Hammond.

David was the devoted husband of Jeanine Genre Scherer for 42 years. At the young age of 22, he founded his construction company and gained recognition for completing numerous houses, structures, and surfaces. David’s dedication to his work was unwavering; he even managed to sneak out of hospice care to check on jobs and visit his work friends.

His social circle was diverse, including businessmen, lawyers, laborers, and motocross enthusiasts. David was cherished as a good friend and brought joy to those around him. He relished spending time with family, friends, and close neighbors by the pool, at his camp on the Tickfaw River, sharing beers in his garage, and frequenting local motocross tracks. However, his grandchildren were the source of joy for their “Paw Paw Dawg” in his later years. David knew how truly blessed his life was, living less than 1 mile from all his children and grandchildren, and he knew he was spoiled by his wife.

David is survived by his Wife, Jeanine Genre Scherer, Daughters and Sons-in-law: Morgan Scherer Seale and Grady Seale, Carolyn “C.C.” Stoma and Richard Stoma; Son and Daughter-in-law, David “Stephen” Scherer Jr. and Liz Lynn Scherer.
