A message from Denise: This morning, I lost the one true love of my life, my anchor, my compass, the one who called me "Angel" when he was the Angel sent to me on September of 1990 at a Youth Ministry gathering at the Holy Family Retreat Center. Three months late, we discovered that we shared the same birthday - sealed in Heaven, we would share another anniversary: our marriage in August 1991. This man that God placed in my life was a faithful Servant, humble and loved by many at St. Mary & St. Martin de Porres and the Diocese of Beaumont, Youth Ministry. He was a loving and devoted husband - supporting everything I did even when it meant cooking dinners on choir practice nights, doing the laundry (and shrinking sweaters), morning coffee in bed before he left for work. He was a good father - passing his virtues down to our son, teaching by example, taking time out for Boy Scout camping and Little League games. He was so proud and honored to pin Kevin's badge on him when he graduated at Austin-Travis EMT. And his beautiful grandchildren fulfilled his life. He reflected on all these and said he lived a good life. And, now he was ready to take the journey to his Heavenly home. May the angels and saints welcome him home. Sleep in heavenly peace, my sweet Paul. One day, I will be beside you again.
Paul is survived by his beloved wife, Denise Guyote Broussard, who stood by his side through the joys and challenges of life. Together, they raised a son, Kevin Broussard, who is married to Lindsay, and who continues to honor his father's legacy. Paul was a proud grandfather, leaving behind two grandchildren, Ellie Broussard and Jude Broussard, who brought immense joy to his life.
In addition to his immediate family, Paul is survived by his dear mother-in-law, Jeanette Guyote, and a close-knit family that includes his brother, James Wilford Broussard, and sister, Linda Jane Desormeaux. He is further remembered by his sisters- and brothers-in-law, Theresa Luciano (Rick), June Rudd, Erich Guyote (Gena), Bruce Guyote (April), and Don Desormeaux, along with several nieces and nephews who cherished him deeply.
