William "Brice" Fitzgerald, Sr. was born in Travis County, Texas to the late Bernice Brice Fitzgerald and Barbara Jean Burk Fitzgerald. After moving to the Acadiana area he graduated from Lafayette High in 1975. After which, he began his long-standing career in the oil and gas industry, as a salesman.
He enjoyed hunting, fishing, and being outdoors. Brice loved his family and was always very involved with his children's activities. He often coached baseball, and when he wasn't coaching you could bet he was the loudest one in the crowd cheering on the team. Brice will be remembered as the outgoing, loving and generous guy who never met a stranger and had a heart of gold. His bigger-than-life personality will always bring smiles to those he knew and loved.
He is survived by his loving children, William Brice Fitzgerald, Jr. and wife Lindsey, and Falyn Fitzgerald Dupuis both of Breaux Bridge; one sister, Dianna Jean Fitzgerald of Austin, TX; one grandson, Jean-Pierre Dupuis; and three granddaughters, Briley, Brynlee, and Blakely Fitzgerald.
He was preceded in death by his parents; and his brother, Grizz Manry.

Brice and I spent many summers at our grandparents house in Austin. Playing, competing about anything and all, like who could climb the tallest tree and climb higher and faster; who could mow the lawn better, etc. Last time I saw him was at Grandma´s Rosie funeral in Austin. We had a fun visit remembering our childhood adventures!

I always knew that if I got in a bind and needed help, Brice and Grizz would be there for me. Both great guys and both taken from us way too soon. Lil Brice, we spoke at Grizz's wake and I told your dad to take care of himself so that I wasn't headed back that direction any time soon to pay my respects to him. Little did I know.... I'm in bed with the flu, otherwise I'd be there. Please accept my deepest sympathy to your entire family.

I know Brice along with his little brother Grizz and his parents and grandparents are all looking down at the beautiful celebration of life his family planned for him saying I sure do look good in my new suit and I'm so darn good looking!! He can now see from heaven how proud he is of his family I know he is with God and at Peace. Our greatest reward is our arrival in heaven.

So very sorry to hear of Brice's passing. He was so kind and caring. He really helped us when my Father was diagnosed with Cancer. There wasn't anything he wouldn't do to help.
Our condolences and many prayers for memories to be cherished. Grizz, Brice,and Dad made so many happy memories together. God Bless all his family and friends. He will be missed.
