Adam Broussard

ABBEVILLE-Adam Broussard, born on September 17, 1931, in Abbeville, LA, passed away on November 20, 2024, at his home. He was the original owner and operator of Broussard's Water Softener, a business he led for many years. In 1962, Adam joined the Abbeville Fire Department, where he served with dedication and passion, eventually retiring as an Assistant Chief after 34 years of service. 

A Graveside Service at St. Paul Cemetery will be held on Monday, November 25, 2024, at 1:30 pm to celebrate his life and pay tribute to his memory. Family and friends are invited to join in honoring Adam's life and legacy during this heartfelt ceremony. 

He is survived by his two daughters, Christine Chauvin (Ray), and Wanda Blasingame (Daniel); one grandson, Brandon Chauvin; and two great grandchildren, Alexis Chauvin and Alayna Chauvin. 

He is preceded in death by his wife, Rosa Mae Dartez Broussard; his parents, Pierre Ulysse Broussard, Sr, and the former Medora Hebert: three brothers Murphy Broussard, Jimmy John Broussard, and Ulysse Broussard Jr,; four sisters, Wanda Broussard, Elise Whitley, Nora Broussard and Delta Wild; his paternal grandparents, Adam Broussard and the former Corinne Romero; and his maternal grandparents Madeo Hebert and the former Celina LeBlanc. 

Adam's joys in life were simple yet fulfilling - he loved spending time with his dogs, fishing, operating his backhoe, reading the Bible, and helping others in any way he could. His compassionate and understanding nature endeared him to many, with special thanks extended to his caregiver and close friend, Patricia Bourque, who stood by him until the very end, alongside her husband, Terry Bourque. The family also wishes to acknowledge the staff at The Calcutta House in Lafayette for their care and support.
