Merlin "Jammin June" Broussard Jr., 56, a native and lifelong resident of 
Morgan City joined his loving mother in heaven on Tuesday, September 3, 2013 
while surrounded by his loving family.

Jammin June lived his life loving the people around him. A well-known 
individual in the community, everyone knew June for the soft hearted person he 
was. A great cook, everyone knew that on Sunday a visit to his wharf in 
Stephensville was where to go for the best food around. Always at the world 
famous Blowout, Jammin June would sing along with his son, Rockin Josh, Swamp 
Pop to anyone who wanted to have a good time. It was well known that on Jammin 
June's birthday, presents were mandatory all month long. A skilled carpenter, 
Jammin June hand built his own home and remodeled many others. His work lives 
on in the beautiful work he created throughout South Louisiana. 

Jammin June was the best son, brother, father, grandfather, uncle, Parrain, and 
most importantly friend. He will be missed by all whose lives he touched.

Jammin June is survived by his father, Merlin Broussard Sr. and his wife, 
Dorothy; his paternal grandmother, Amelie Broussard; his son, music partner, 
and best friend, Josh Broussard; his two beloved grandbabies; his sister, 
Cheryl Katsura and her husband, Wayne; his brother, Terry Broussard and his 
wife, Tina; his niece/godchild/sister/personal secretary/nurse, Michelle 
Broussard Arnold and her husband, Jamie; numerous aunts and uncles; his nieces 
and nephews, Miko Katsura and her fiancé, Sidney Henry, Bray Katsura and his 
wife, Brittany, and Terri Jean Sons and her husband, Benji; and his great 
nieces and nephews, Preslie, Cody, Lauren, Madison, and Zack; and survived by 
his previous wife, Darlene Broussard. Truthfully, Jammin June had such a large 
extended family that it would be impossible to list each and every one.

He is preceded in death by his mother, Betty Percle Broussard; his paternal 
grandfather, Louis Broussard; his maternal grandfather, Rudolph Percle; and his 
maternal grandmother, Lorena Percle.

Jammin June's last public appearance will be held on Friday, September 6, 2013 
at Hargrave Funeral Home from 5pm to 9pm with dismissal at 9pm. 
In keeping with Jammin June's wishes, a private service will be held at a later 
date.

The family of Jammin June would like to express their heartfelt thanks to 
Angela Jameson and her husband, Joe, Lemina White, Floyd Ayo, and three special 
friends, Robert Sampey Sr., David Triche, and Don Rich; as well as all his 
musician friends, fans, and many close friends who've given assistance during 
his illness.
