Jeremiah James Broussard, born on July 1, 1989, and was granted angel wings on his path to Heaven on October 2, 2017. Though Jeremiah’s life ended soon, he touched so many in his days. He had a loving and unselfish personality that could light up the darkest room. His gentle smile could melt the hearts of those around him. Jeremiah was an avid hunter, he enjoyed music, baseball and football, but mostly Jeremiah was a family man who adored his family and friends. May the Lord wrap his arms around Jeremiah with the love of his kingdom!
With Jeremiah’s passing we remind others that his life is one to be celebrated. Although we will miss him every day, especially his contagious smile, he will forever remain in our hearts. We were able to create wonderful memories and we are so thankful for Jeremiah’s gentle and loving spirit.
