Herman Broussard was born January 28th, 1935, in Abbeville, LA and was a long-time resident of Lafayette. Herman graduated from Abbeville High School in 1953.
Herman lived a storybook life, growing up in the innocent times of the 1940’s and 50’s. A self-made man whose intelligence and sharp wit preceded his professional success. A dedicated employee and pioneer of the oil and gas industry, he represented various service companies for nearly six decades. Herman was an avid outdoorsman who hunted and fished around the world, but particularly in the Sportsman’s Paradise of Louisiana. He was devoted to the care and protection of his family and friends. With a benevolent demeanor and gentle spirit, he knew no stranger.
After retirement, Herman most enjoyed spending time with family and friends, and eating ice cream. A colorful storyteller, he had a special ability to captivate one’s attention through recollection. Family meant everything to Herman, and he leaves a legacy of love and loyalty.
Our beloved patriarch’s wisdom and guidance will live on through kin, having forever enriched our lives.
Herman is survived by his beloved wife of 70 years, Jane Broussard of Lafayette, LA; his three daughters Jackie Kyzar, Jessica Broussard and husband Steve, Melissa Bergeron and husband Reggie; eight grandchildren Cydney, Cimone, John, Ryan, Sara, Bryce, Grant, and Max; eight great-grandchildren and numerous dear nieces, nephews, and friends.
He was preceded in death by his parents Oscar and Ada Broussard, siblings Verna Mae Chreene and Rena McCullough.
