In Loving Memory of Kenneth (Tex) Woodrow Brousseau Jr.
With heavy hearts, we announce the passing of Kenneth (Tex) Woodrow Brousseau Jr., who left this world on March 21, 2025, at the age of 72, surrounded by love and family in Friendswood, TX.
A lifelong Texan, Tex's battle with cancer was met with unwavering determination, commitment, and a positive spirit that warmed the hearts of all who knew him. Despite the challenges, Tex maintained a relentless pursuit of treatment and always kept a hopeful outlook. His strength was an inspiration to those around him, and his legacy of courage will never be forgotten.
Tex was preceded in death by his parents, Frances McRobbie and Kenneth Woodrow Brousseau Sr., as well as his sister, Linda, and his brother, Mark.
He is survived by his two loving daughters, Annelise and Jaime, both dedicated nurses, and his only granddaughter, Dylan. Tex is also survived by his former wife, Lissa McElwee Brousseau, his sister, Gail (Fred) Brousseau Barr, his brother, Jay Brousseau, and numerous extended family and friends. He will be deeply missed by all who had the privilege of knowing him.
Tex's life was rich with meaningful memories, especially those forged through his lifelong passion for fishing, where he valued time spent with family and friends. He also had a keen interest in politics and was always eager to engage in thoughtful discussions, whether educating others about current events or offering his insight into the latest headlines. His skills extended to a surprising ability to diagnose car problems based on a simple description of the noise – a talent that never ceased to amaze.
Tex was a man of genuine character, marked by kindness, patience, and integrity. His warm nature, openness, and optimism made a lasting impact on all those fortunate enough to know him, even in the face of adversity.
In accordance with his wishes, Tex has been cremated. A celebration of his life will be held at a later date.
Tex's spirit and energy will live on in the love and lessons he shared with all of us. Let his vibrant presence continue to inspire and guide us all.

Tex was in the class of 1970 and I was in the class of 1969. Our high school was special. We had college level teachers. We tended to form lifelong friendships. We were "NASA brats" who moved to the Bay Area from all over the country. Most of our dads worked at the Johnson Space Center. This is cropped from my group class photo. We were ready to blast out of there!

More memories of Tex and Nassau Bay and our reunions.

Tex was a very close friend in high school. We attended Clear Creek High in League City TX during the late 60s. We lost touch after high school, but we saw each other at the Clear Creek Light Circus reunions. They were held every ten years, in the Bay Area near our school, beginning in 1998 and ending in 2018. They were off-the-grid gatherings which were free to attend and open to all classes who attended Creek.

Tex never seemed to age. He never got fat and he was always a bright light at our cosmic gatherings.

His smiling face - at nearly all of our reunions- made them feel extra special because Tex was extra special. The last time I saw Tex was at my official 50th high school reunion in 2019.

Sending my deepest condolences to his family and friends.
