Murphy A. Broussard

Murphy Broussard, born on May 18, 1933, passed away peacefully on July 11, 2026, in Port Neches, Texas.

Murphy dedicated 33 years of his professional life as a forklift driver and trainer at Texaco. Following his career at Texaco, he owned and operated "Colorizer Paint" store for 20 years. Outside of his work, Murphy found great joy in hunting, fishing, and spending time at the lake. He was also a devoted fan of Nederland football games.

He was preceded in death by his parents, Voorhies and Stella Broussard; his beloved wife of 68 years, Betty Jean Broussard; his sister, Hazel Guidry; and his brother, Freddie Broussard.

Murphy is survived by his loving sons, Brad Broussard and his wife Shala of Nederland, Texas, and Darrell Broussard and his wife Karolyn of Nederland, Texas. He also leaves behind his cherished grandchildren, Jessica Johnston and her husband Jack, Dustin Callahan, and Kristine Gunn and her husband Kelly. His legacy continues through his great-grandchildren, Hagen Bearden, Hudson Bearden, Addisen Bearden, Jett Johnston, Brooks Johnston, Mia Johnston, and Evan Callahan.

There will be a private family memorial at a later date.

We are sad to hear of the passing of Murphy Broussard. We will cherish many years that we spent enjoying the times we had fishing and hunting at Toledo Bend at our camps, the many crawfish boils that we attended through the years at my father's and brother's homes, and the holiday family gatherings that we had through the years. Our prayers of healing go out to all the Broussard's family members for their loss.
