Rodney, I have fond memories of Gerald and you in Pear Ridge during the simpler, happier times of our youth. I remember playing my first season of organized baseball with you guys for the Lads League Eagles in the 1950's. On fishing trips to the 4th Levee in the 1960's, we would often see Gerald, you and family on horseback working cows off the old Interurban right of way. May Gerald rest in peace.

Rodney, Debbi and all Broussard Family - I'm so sorry for the loss of Gerald. I did not know him personally but, if he was your brother Rodney - he must have been a wonderful man. My prayers are with your family. Peace, Love and Blessings. Jennifer Blackwell

Our sympathy to Rodney, Gerald's mother, and the rest of the family. It is obvious that Gerald made lasting impressions on a great many people, and that has to be a source of comfort to those left behind to mourn and to remember.

There is nothing left to say about Gerald that hasn't already been said. He was a friend to many and loved by everyone who knew him. He will be missed by all. I don't know what the TJHS Class of 1963 will do without him - he kept us informed and united. Miss you for now my friend but I'll meet you in Heaven. Prayers and sympathy for your family. Love, Barbara

What can you say that hasn't already been said...Gerald was a friend, a mentor, a funny man, a loving man, but most of all he was a family man. My prayers go out to his Mother, and his children and his entire family. Let God's perpetual light forever shine upon him. May his family feel the love his friends have for him.

Gerald was a sweetheart. He was the glue that held our Thomas Jefferson High School Class of 1963 together. He always had a smile on his face, and a joke up his sleeve. Gerald will be greatly missed. Love and blessings to his dear family who he loved with all his big heart.
