William Fitzgerald Obituary
BREAUX BRIDGE - A Funeral Service will be held at 11:00 am on Friday, December 30, 2016, at Pellerin Funeral Home of Breaux Bridge for William "Brice" Fitzgerald, Sr., 60, who passed away on Monday, December 26, 2016.
The family requests that visiting hours be observed at the funeral home from 1:00 pm until 11:00 pm on Thursday, and continue on Friday at 7:00 am until funeral service at 11:00 am.
Deacon Marcel "Butch" Hebert will officiate at the Funeral Service.
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.
Pellerin Funeral Home of Breaux Bridge, 211 Berard St., Breaux Bridge, LA 70517, (337-332-2111) is in charge of arrangements.

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 am deeply saddened and it hurts my heart to hear of Brice's untimely passing. I considered him a close friend in our Lafayette High days and shared many wonderful memories with him on and off of the Mighty Lion football field and campus. He was simply a wonderful guy to be around. Though I did not remain in touch throughout the years I understand from mutual friends that he was the same outgoing, gregarious and wonderful man that he was back in our younger days. I am SO very sorry for his passing and my heart goes out to his family and friends. I will truly never forget him.......
