He is also survived by his siblings Larry (Julie) Brignac, Lloyd (Louise) Brignac and Cathy Brignac; his sisters-in-law, Gay (Chet) Simpson and Phyllis (Scott) Smith; brothers-in-law, Chad Gautreau, Todd (Stacey) Gautreau and Troy (Angela) Gautreau and his mother-in-law Audrey Gautreau. He is preceded in death by his parents Joseph ‘Alicide” Brignac and Lelia “T-Sis” Gaudin Brignac; his brothers, Joseph Paul Brignac and Floyd Joseph Brignac and his father-in-law Elray P. Gautreau.
Thomas was one of those people that if you knew him, you loved him. He was always the life of the party and loved hanging out with his friends and family. He always enjoyed a good day of fishing and a night of playing pool at his local hangout, Coops. His pool team recently won the Divisional Championship and were on their way to Vegas. His big smile and warm heart will truly be missed by all.
The family would like to extend their sincere gratitude to the physicians and staff in the ICU department at Baton Rouge General.
