Bradly was a yard foreman at Chevron in the oil field industry, where he contributed his skills and leadership for many years. He was not just a hard worker but also a man with a heart of gold, who raised and supported a loving family. His ability to balance a successful career while nurturing relationships with family and friends is a testament to his character. An avid sports enthusiast, Bradly was a multi-state APA Pool champion. His love for the game extended beyond competition, as he often gathered with friends to share in the joy of shooting pool. He also devoted countless hours to coaching youth in baseball, instilling in them not only the skills of the game but also the values of teamwork and sportsmanship. His passion for sports influenced many, from his grandchildren to the youth he mentored. Bradly found happiness in the great outdoors, enjoying hunting and fishing whenever he could. He treasured the time spent with family, especially spoiling his grandchildren, nieces, and nephews. His warmth and humor will be deeply missed by all who knew him.

He is survived by his daughters, Donna Touchet and Denaise Choate and her husband, Brock “Toby” Touchet; grandchildren, Kyle Choate and his wife, Emily,  Landon Choate, Kennedi Choate, Cain Hebert, and Aiden Touchet;  great grandchildren, Ezlyn Choate and Slade Choate; siblings, Brenda Broussard, Loma Broussard, Teena Broussard, Kevin Broussard, Michelle Broussard, and Tamara Baudoin; along with a host of loving family members and friends who were touched by his generous spirit.

He was preceded in death by his loving wife and soul mate, Goldie Marie Broussard; parents, Joseph Savan Broussard and the former Lorenia Marie LeBouef; his brothers, Rody Lee Broussard and Rodney Broussard; sister, Roxanne "Roxie" Broussard; nephews, Jabien Broussard, Joshua Broussard, and Colby Broussard; and great grandson, Noah Choate; and sister-in-law, Jamie Broussard.

As we remember Bradly, let us celebrate the life he lived, the love he shared, and the legacy he leaves behind. May his memory be a blessing to all.
