A beloved father, brother, son, and friend, Brad was known as a man of many talents and passions, and his legacy will live on in the memories of those who had the privilege to know him.

Brad was an avid musician with a heart full of rhythm and soul. Whether strumming his guitar or playing his trumpet, music was his true calling. He was a cherished member of a local band, sharing his love for music with friends, family, and anyone who was lucky enough to hear him play. His passion for music was matched only by his devotion to his family. He was a devoted father to his children, always present with love, guidance, and support.

In addition to his musical talents, Brad was an excellent baseball player. He enjoyed both the competitive spirit and camaraderie of the sport, making many lifelong friends along the way. His devotion to the game mirrored the same enthusiasm he had for life and relationships. As a brother, son, and friend, Brad was an unwavering presence of love and support—someone who made everyone around him feel special and valued.

Brad was a devout Catholic, with a strong faith that guided his actions and choices. His commitment to his faith and to living a life of kindness was evident in every part of his being. He had a genuine love for
people, and no matter where he went, he made friends everywhere. Whether at work, at church, or in his community, Brad’s warm smile and approachable nature made everyone feel like family.

Brad had a particular gift in the kitchen, where he created the most memorable meals that brought people together.  His gumbo, pastalaya, roast and gravy, and vegetable soup were renowned among his loved ones, and he took great joy in cooking for others.

Brad’s spirit will live on through his children, his family, and all the lives he touched.

He is survived by his mother, Elizabeth Boudreaux; a step-father, Stephen Boudreaux; a son, Zachary Thomas Martin; a daughter, Charlee Elizabeth Martin; two brothers, Todd Martin and his wife Stephanie and Matthew Boudreaux and his wife Mallory; four sisters, Cristy Menard and her husband Gregory, Ann Cook and her husband Larry, Jr., Laura Gautreaux and her husband Eric, and Ellen Bodin and her husband Jonathan; an aunt, Mary Lee St. Germaine; and numerous nieces and nephews.
