Allen “Al” A. Hayner Jr. was born August 15, 1934 in Troy, New York, and passed away October 8, 2019 in West Monroe, Louisiana. Al was preceded in death by his parents, Allen and Jennie Hayner; brother, Lloyd Hayner; sisters, Erye Hayner Sneck and Elsie Hayner Shudt. He was a devout member of Cedar Crest Baptist Church, and was involved in missions and ministry all of his life. Al always served others, and was a mentor and role model for so many people. He had a passion for people, but many may not know he had a passion for planes, loved to fly and had a commercial pilot’s license.

Al is survived by his wife, Alice Cosat Hayner; daughter, Alisa Hayner Comeaux; son, Gregory A. Hayner and wife Jennifer; brother, David Hayner; grandchildren, Alyson Hayner, Jennie Comeaux, Ashlee Hayner and John Hayner.

Funeral services for Allen A. Hayner, Jr., were held October 11, 2019, in the chapel of Kilpatrick Funeral Home, West Monroe. Bro. Greg Clark officiated.  Pallbearers were Dan Gilliland, Bert Hay, Than Vo, Larry Beach, David Moreland and Greg Cox. Entombment at Kilpatrick’s Serenity Gardens open-air chapel mausoleum. Please send cards, letters and condolences to the Hayner Family at 211 Trace Road, West Monroe, LA  71291-9118.

Many of you may remember Al and the Hayner family, although they re-located to West Monroe in 1987. Al was an absolutely selfless person and incredible real estate and business partner/associate to me for over 20 years along with being a dear friend, mentor, consultant, advisor, counsellor, client and quasi-father all rolled into one. His wit, advice, guidance and positive influence will be sorely missed by family, friends and his many business associates as well as others such as Than Vo and myself who were especially blessed and are eternally grateful to have had our life paths cross with Al as he assisted us over many decades and whose lives he so positively touched and forever changed.
