Jon Michael Yeager

Jon Yeager, 50, of Hammond, Louisiana, unexpectedly passed away next to his loving wife of 15 years, Marina Yeager (Ciudin). In addition to his wife, Jon leaves behind his daughter Sara, 10, and younger brother Jeremy. He is predeceased by his doting parents, Terrell and Nancy Yeager.

At a young age, Jon played football and baseball, although he would admit he wasn’t very good at either. He was more of an “A” student with a goal of helping others. He was an alumnus of LSU and Loyola, with strong lifelong Louisiana roots. He was an attorney for 25 years and a partner at YLT Law Firm. Jon was an avid fisherman and hunter. He enjoyed traveling the world, cooking, listening to music, tuning into the Howard Stern show, and embracing Louisiana culture. Most of all, he cherished laughing with his wife and daughter, being surrounded by pets, and watching "The Big Lebowski" and “GoodFellas” while catching a snooze.

His unexpected passing will leave us with an indescribable void but also fond memories and laughter.

A memorial service for a dear husband, father, brother, friend, and colleague will be held at Harry McKneely & Son Funeral Home in Hammond, 2000 N. Morrison Boulevard, Hammond, Louisiana 70401, on Wednesday, May 14, 2025. Visitation will begin at 5:00 PM until the memorial service begins at 7:30 PM.

Please bring your favorite photo and written memory of Jon. A book will be assembled for his wife and daughter. If you are unable to attend in person, you may send your book contribution to

Per Jon’s wishes, a celebration of life crawfish party will be held at a later date. Details to be communicated when available.
