Jack was a veteran of the United States Marine Corp. Reserves and proudly served his country. He was a self-employed businessman but also taught the machinist program at the Career Campus in New Iberia for over eight years. Many of his students were very grateful to him for not only preparing them to enter the workforce, but for staying in touch with them to check on their progress. He was the type of man that would lend a hand to anyone in need and was known for his generosity and kindness.

Jack also had a love for the outdoors. He loved to go crabbing and fishing, and just enjoyed being out on the water. But his greatest love was for his family. He lived his life for their well-being and leaves behind many fond memories that will forever live on in the hearts of all who knew and loved him.

He is survived by his wife of 41 years, Jackie Boudreaux Broussard of New Iberia; sons, Jack C. “JJ” Broussard, Jr. and wife Tracey and Dewey Paul Broussard and wife Betsy all of New Iberia; grandchildren, Landon Paul and Emma Pearl Broussard; a brother, Francis C. Broussard Sr. and wife Cindy of New Iberia; a sister, Catherine B. Guhl and husband Rick of New Iberia; and his mother-in-law, Katherine Barras Boudreaux of New Iberia.
