Howard L. Broussard, Jr.

Howard Louis Broussard Jr., age 66, went to be with our Heavenly Father on June 14, 2020 in Knoxville, TN. Born April 22, 1954 in New Orleans, he was raised in Metairie, Louisiana where he lived most of his life. Howard proudly served his country as a Corporal in the United States Marine Corps and was Owner/Operator of Heron Sales Inc. He was preceded in death by: father, Howard L. Broussard Sr.; loving mother, Lillian Rocker Broussard; and eldest sister, Linda Hardey. Howard leaves behind his devoted children: daughter, Angelique Broussard Faller (W. Kent Faller II) and sons, Howard Louis Broussard III and Shain Steven Broussard (Paula Gamber Broussard); grandchildren: Samantha L. Broussard, Katryn E. Faller (Zachary W. Siler), Gage S. Broussard (Joelle Lascala Broussard), Connor L. Faller, Kagan E. Broussard, Adam K. Faller, Eoin J. Faller, and Lillian M. Faller, to cherish his memory. He also leaves behind his sister, Barbara M. Wood, brother, Harry J. Broussard (Martha Garcia Broussard), and several nieces, nephews and their families.

Howard will always be remembered by his children, grandchildren and extended family as having a big heart. He loved them unconditionally and was always there to help and encourage them. Howard’s eldest granddaughter, Samantha, will remember her PawPaw as being the most thoughtful human being ever. He was always there no matter what she needed, no questions asked. “He always made sure I never went without. He was firm but fair. His unconditional love will be something I will always treasure.” His eldest grandson, Gage, remembers, as a kid, that whenever he needed something his PawPaw would find something for him to do to earn it. “Sometimes he would let me cut the grass or wash the van even if it didn’t need to be done, just because he wanted to help me.” He was there to lend a hand to his friends and neighbors whenever he could and his unique personality left an impression on everyone he met. He will be truly missed by everyone who knew him. We, his family, will miss him deeply. He will always be in our hearts.

A graveside service will be held in Metairie Cemetery on Friday, November 20, 2020 at 10:30 AM with reception to follow in the event center at Lake Lawn Metairie Funeral Home, 5100 Pontchartrain Blvd in New Orleans.
