Mykel Rideaux, born on August 13, 2006, passed away on April 4, 2026, in Opelousas, Louisiana, United States.

Mykel was a dedicated police officer who served his community with honor and integrity. He retired after 7 years of service, leaving a lasting impact on those he worked alongside and the citizens he swore to protect.

Outside of his career, Mykel enjoyed hobbies such as riding horses and fishing. He found solace in the great outdoors and cherished the moments spent with his beloved animals.

Tragically, Mykel's life was cut short due to a senseless act of violence - a gunshot that took him from this world far too soon. He will be remembered for his dedication to serving others, his love for the outdoors, and the memories he shared with those closest to him.
