Boudreaux, 41, who passed away on Monday, November 5, 2007 at The University of Texas, M.D. Anderson Cancer Center in Houston, TX. Entombment will follow at St. Bernard Mausoleum No. 2 in Breaux Bridge. Gerald was the Computer Network Manager for the St. Martin Parish School Board. He enjoyed building and flying model rockets with his boys and loved spending time with his family and friends. He was a member of the TKE Fraternity. He is survived by his loving wife, Rachel Guidry Boudreaux; his two precious sons, whom he loved and adored, Christopher and Matthew Boudreaux, all of Parks; three brothers, Joe Boudreaux and his wife, Phyllis, of Chandler, AZ, Robert Boudreaux and his wife, Mary, of Fairdealing, MO, and Arthur Boudreaux, of Jasper, AL; one sister, Denese Bramblette and her husband, Roland, of Jasper, AL; and several nieces and nephews. He was preceded in death by his parents, Joseph C. and Ima Taylor Boudreaux. The family requests that visiting hours be observed at the funeral home from 3:00 p.m. ~ 10:00 p.m. on Friday, November 9, 2007, and continue at 7:30 a.m. on Saturday until time of service. A rosary will be recited at 7:00 p.m. on Friday and at 8:30 a.m. on Saturday morning. Gerald fought a long and courageous battle with cancer for over a year, undergoing many and various experimental treatments in hope of possibly finding a cure for his cancer. It was always his hope and his dream that if a cure could not be found for him, that maybe, one day, the trials that he endured, through all his treatments, would benefit someone else fighting the same excruciating disease of cancer. He will be greatly missed by his family, friends, and all those whose lives he may have touched, in one way or another, by Living-Strong each day in hope for a cure. In lieu of flowers, the family requests that donations be made, in Gerald's name, to The University of Texas, M.D. Anderson Cancer Center, P. O. Box 4486, Houston, TX 77210-4486. Pellerin Funeral Home of Breaux Bridge is in charge of arrangements.
