Officiating the services will be Rev. Bill Reid.Mr. Serpas was born September 21, 1954 and passed away March 10, 2015. Ken Serp Serpas arrived at Louisiana Tech University in 1974 pursuing a football career on full scholarship as a result of him being the first athlete of Southwood High School to be named to the All State team. Football was one of his greatest loves in life closely following the love he possessed for his wife, Jan and their children and grandson, as well as extended family & friends. Ken also carried a work ethic like none other, from the football field, to his first job at T.L. James while completing his college career. Then he moved to running the cattle operations for Davison Transport. Following that, he was brought on board with Prime Quality Feeds where he succeeded in a lengthy 25 year career. His last five years were spent at Fluid Disposal, where he quickly bonded and grew to love everyone as family. Work was an important priority, but that did not halt his love for outdoors, especially duck hunting. Ken also prided himself in his walk with the Lord. He was a faithful member of Calvary Baptist Church and a huge testament to others. Faith, family and friends are the principles of life that he lived by daily and to the fullest.He is survived by his wife, Jan R. Smith Serpas; daughter: Shannon Davidson of Choudrant, LA; son: Dustin Serpas of Ruston, LA; grandson: Chandler Davidson of Choudrant, LA; mother-in-law: Marie Ivy of Pineville, LA; brothers: Bryan Serpas and wife Deborah of Plano, TX and Jack Serpas and wife Kelly of Magnolia, TX; sister: Sally Serpas Leonard and husband Mark of Magnolia, TX; sister-in-law: Jeanie M. Smith McCartney of Ruston, LA and numerous nieces and nephews. Honorary pallbearers will be Drake Mills, Scott Thompson, Phillip Carroll, Ricky White, Dwain Elliot, Jimmie Dunn, Tommy Harrison, Don English and Randy Graham.Visitation will be held Friday from 12:00-2:00 PM with service to follow at the church.

I remember being a freshman at Southwood playing football for them. I caught a pass and thought I was home free. Ken came out of no where and rung my bell, turned my helmet completely around. After he ranged me, he reached picked me up and said he could do this all day! That has always been my memory of Ken. He was a great person!

Ken was a fun guy in high school. When I came to Southwood in my sophmore year he called me a "Grovite" because I had moved from Cedar Grove area of Shreveport. He was just that kind of guy. :) I am so glad that he had a testimony of Christ in his life that makes this a whole lot sweeter to know that one day I will see him again. God Bless You all during this difficult time.

We have you all in our thoughts and prayers. Ken made it through a tough disease and has now left it behind and is victorious over it as God promised. You will all get through this, too. You will remember him and talk about him often with love and fond remembrances, and you will laugh and occasionally get teary eyed, but it will be o.k. Laugh, and love each other and embrace with Ken in mind. We are convinced that he will know and be there with you. He was and is a wonderful person.

I always felt I had at least 20 brothers growing up and Ken was one of them. I remember Glo (Ken's mom) at our house with a dr. pepper in one hand and playing bridge with my mom and all of their friends and Ken walking in our house with a big smile and always a hug for everyone! RIP my friend! We all love and miss you!
