A Mass of Christian Burial will be held at 1:00 PM on Saturday, July 30, 2022 in Our Lady of Fatima Catholic Church for Bradley Joseph Broussard, 65, who passed away on July 26, 2022. Rev. Fr. Andrew Schumacher, Pastor of St. John the Evangelist Catholic Church in Mermentau, LA, will be the Celebrant of the Mass and will conduct the funeral services. Burial will take place in Lafayette Memorial Park Cemetery. Brad was born on June 29, 1957 in San Antonio, Texas, on Lackland Airforce Base as the first-born child to Beatrice and Cecil Broussard. He grew up in New Iberia, Louisiana, where he attended Catholic High School, graduating in 1975. He then went on to attend Louisiana State University where he was a member of Theta Xi fraternity. He remained an avid LSU fan and shared his love for the Tigers with his children. Upon graduation from college, he began working in the oil and gas industry, ultimately establishing his own land brokerage firm, Bradley Broussard Land Services, where he proudly served not only south Louisiana but oil companies nationwide. With a strong background in oil, gas, and real estate, Brad traveled throughout the country to give speeches and educate many different organizations about his field. Brad embraced his community in many different areas. Not only as a small business owner, but also by serving as President of Our Lady of Fatima School Board, a member of Petroleum Club Board of Directors and Greater Lafayette Chamber of Commerce Board of Directors, a graduate of Leadership Lafayette, and an avid member and past king of the Krewe of Bonaparte. He was truly a “people-person” and always left anyone he met with a smile, a fist-bump, or a joke. He loved telling jokes so much that he competed in and won the International Cajun Joke Telling Contest in 2005. He was quick-witted, hilariously funny, and never met a stranger. His love for life and family was infectious. He is survived by his wife of 35 years, Kathleen Breaux Broussard; daughter, Caroline Broussard Carroll, MD, (Alexander); sons, Andrew Charles Broussard, MD, (Alaina) and Matthew Joseph Broussard; grandchildren, Gray Alexander Carroll and Kathryn Flynn Carroll; parents, Cecil and Beatrice Broussard; sisters, Beth Broussard Allison (Don) and Beatrice Broussard Reddeck (Anthony); brothers, John Barton Broussard (Tracy) and Brumby Joseph Broussard (Misti); godchildren, Aubrey Allison (Adam Waggenspack), Bradley Carter Broussard, and Jacob Warren Fenstermaker; and many other nieces, nephews and loved ones. He was preceded in death by his daughter, Mary Kathryn Broussard, and brother, Cecil Charles Broussard, Jr. The family requests that visiting hours be observed at Delhomme Chapel of the Flowers on Friday, July 29, 2022 from 4:00 PM to 8:00 PM.
