John Matthew "Matt" Hendrix

Memorial Services celebrating the life of John Matthew "Matt" Hendrix, 45, of Calhoun, LA will be held at 2:00PM Saturday, August 23, 2025, at Cedar Crest Baptist Church with Dr. Greg Clark and Rev. Werner Aswell officiating. Visitation will be held from 12:00PM until service time on Saturday.

John Matthew “Matt” Hendrix, 45, of Calhoun, Louisiana, passed away on August 16, 2025, in Calhoun. He was born September 4, 1979, in Clarksdale, Mississippi, to the late John Ed Hendrix and Catherine Carnathan Hendrix.

Matt is survived by his devoted wife of 14 years, Ashley Downhour Hendrix, and their cherished daughter, Olivia Kate Hendrix. He is also survived by his mother, Catherine Carnathan Hendrix; his sister, Allison Hendrix May, and her husband, Barry; his nieces, Emily May and Addison May; father and mother-in-law Mike and Sheila Downhour; brother-in-law, Shawn Downhour, and his wife, Maggie Downhour; his nieces, Edie Downhour and Millie Downhour; sister-in-law, Callie Downhour, his niece, Zee Downhour; and grandmother-in-law, Addi Lou Gorum.

A proud graduate of West Monroe High School, Matt lived a life defined by service, hard work, and love. His career path was as diverse as it was meaningful: from his time as a police officer with the West Monroe Police Department and the Ouachita Parish Sheriff’s Office, to bringing comfort and peace to grieving families at the Ouachita Parish Coroner’s Office, to working side by side with his father at Mechanical Systems and Services, learning every lesson his dad could teach him. He also spent short periods in other industries, where he built friendships that became like family — relationships that enriched his life and remained dear to him through the years.

Seven years ago, Matt was diagnosed with stage 4 colon cancer — news that could have broken his spirit but instead ignited his determination. He chose to fight with every bit of strength he had. Along the way, he reached out to encourage others facing the same uphill battle, offering understanding, faith, and a reminder that hope can still shine in the darkest times. His faith remained his anchor, and he wanted others to see God’s light through him.

When he wasn’t working or inspiring others, Matt embraced life fully. He loved duck hunting with Olivia and friends, being “that dad” cheering on Olivia loudly at her softball games, grilling for and spending quality time with family and friends, and of course, filling every room with laughter. Known for his generosity — the kind of man who’d give someone the shirt off his back — Matt was also hard-working, caring, and endlessly optimistic. In his younger years, he had a talent for getting himself and his friends into quite a bit of mischief, building memories that lasted a lifetime. Matt’s legacy is one of love, service, courage, and faith. He will be deeply missed by all who knew him, but the impact of his kindness, laughter, and unwavering strength will live on in the hearts he touched and the souls he pointed to Jesus Christ.

In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations be made to MD Anderson or St. Jude Medical Center, both causes close to Matt’s heart. Additional donations may also be made to Marion State Bank (any branch location) established in Ashley's name for The Benefit of Olivia.

Floyd Crawley

Funeral services for Mr. Floyd Crawley, 74, of Monroe, Louisiana, will be held at 2:00 P.M. on Thursday, August 14, 2025, at New Light Baptist Church in Monroe, LA, with Rev. Lindle Stewart officiating, under the direction of Mulhearn Funeral Home Sterlington Rd., Monroe. Interment will follow at New Light Baptist Church Cemetery. Visitation will be held from 1:00 P.M. until service time at the church.

Mr. Crawley was born on October 6, 1950, in Rayville, LA, and passed away peacefully surrounded by family on August 11, 2025. He was retired from U.S. Pipeline and was a member of New Light Baptist Church.

Floyd had a full life. He worked over 50 years on the pipeline where he traveled around the country and made many friends that he was close to for the rest of his life. He enjoyed the years when he was able to ride his Harley with his friends.

The joy of his life was his family. His greatest blessing was his wife, Brenda. She completed him and exemplified true love. His grandchildren were the twinkle in his eyes. All of them could make him smile and laugh. His children filled his life with purpose. His monthly dinner with his high school buddies was a highlight he always looked forward to.

Floyd was preceded in death by his father, Andrew G. Crawley; mother, Dorothy Dew; and sister, Tilly Edwards.

Survivors include his wife, Brenda Stanley Crawley; children, Ashley Stark, Kelly Haire, Phillip Crawley (Jamie), Zack Crawley, Shane Green (Sunny), Holly Green and Crystal Green; grandchildren, Nick Stark, Elaine Stark, Jake Pyles, Lana Pyles, Ava Crawley, Mia Crawley, Bree Crawley, Shaila Green, and Conner Whatley; brother, Johnny Crawley (Michelle); as well as numerous great grandkids, nieces and nephews.

Pallbearers will be Phillip Crawley, Zack Crawley, Charlie Crawley, Bobby Stanley, John Stanley, Justin Hodge, Shane Green, and Zack Stanley.

Honorary pallbearers will be Mike Silk, John David Nix, Benny Love, Mark Barton, Howard Middleton, Jackie Jones, Billy Powell, Mike McNaughton, and Royce Copeland.

Brenda would like to thank all of the wonderful medical staff at the dialysis center who made his treatments bearable and effective, and treated him with such kindness, even when they kept waking him up. The family wants to thank Matilda Stephens, NP, for the care he received; Dr. Anyiwo for her skills and kindness in the hospital; the nurses on the 6th floor, Anna, Angel, Jodi and Cynthia; and finally, to Dr. Nidhi Batra, who was a champion for him when there were complications that she was able to successfully treat. Dr. Batra has a special place in our hearts.

Floyd’s faith was definitely a tribute to God. He never faltered in his beliefs and enjoyed telling others. His faith is an example and guideline for anyone that is facing challenges that others may give up on. He never gave up, knowing God was with him and would be a constant for him and his family.

We will miss him, but we know that he has touched each of us in a way that God would be proud of. We love you!

About Us.

Our story begins on November 15, 1899, when Peter Sherlock Mulhearn married Alwine Louise Peters, daughter of Johann Ernst and Caroline Peters. Mr. Mulhearn worked for the Vicksburg, Shreveport and Pacific Railroad until 1912, when he became associated with his father-in-law in the undertaking and furniture business.

In 1916 Mr. Johann Ernst Peters passed away and Mr. Mulhearn helped in the family's furniture store business. He, his wife, sons and daughters opened Mulhearn Funeral Home in 1929. It was only a short time before the Mulhearn family began its expansion during the mid 1930s to Rayville, Delhi, and Winnsboro.

Along with the funeral homes, an insurance company, flower shops and an ambulance service were opened in the respective locations. In 1966, the ambulance company was closed due to liability insurance and governmental regulations, but another funeral home and flower shop were added in West Monroe, Louisiana.

In 1971, Tom and Marie Mulhearn along with their four children, Thomas Henry, Jr., Peter G., Joseph E. and Barbara, purchased the company from Tom's brothers and sisters. In late 1970s Tom and Marie's oldest grandson, Mike, who had been coming to the funeral home with them since he was about six, joined the company.
