Bradley Joseph Breaux

With heavy hearts, we announce the passing of Bradley Joseph Breaux, who left us on November 9, 2026, at the age of 85. Born on February 23, 1941, in Rayne, Louisiana, to Aurelian and Agnes Breaux, Bradley spent his early years in Sulphur, where he graduated from Sulphur High School, Class of 1959.

Bradley's journey took an honorable turn in March 1958 when he enlisted in the U.S. Marine Corps as a jet engine mechanic. His dedication to service earned him the rank of Lance Corporal before being honorably discharged in 1962. After his service, Bradley met the love of his life, Betty Jo O'Quain, and they married on August 1, 1966, in Orange, Texas. Their love story spanned nearly 60 beautiful years, filled with warmth, laughter, and shared adventures.

An active member of Immaculate Conception Catholic Church in Sulphur, Bradley was a proud Fourth-Degree Knight in the Knights of Columbus Council 3015. He approached life with a spirit of volunteerism, participating in competitions from golf to softball to billiards. A skilled pipefitter through Local 106, he enjoyed a fulfilling career as a Teamster, retiring from Crowley Maritime but never truly resting. He found joy in playing 18 holes of golf whenever he could and loved to travel with Betty by plane, train, or truck.

Bradley is survived by his devoted sister, Linda Breaux Burns (Craig Burns), sister-in-law Norma Breaux, and a loving family that includes Karen Sue Broussard (Tony), Harry Glenn Breaux Jr. (Marion), Kristy Breaux Harris, Lisa Breaux Kinney (Greg), Penny Breaux Reed (Tom), and Melissa Breaux Padgett (Dean). He will be missed by many great nieces and nephews who loved him dearly.

Bradley is preceded in death by his beloved wife, Betty Jo Breaux; his son, Byron Breaux; his parents, Aurelian and Agnes Breaux; and his brothers Harold P., Nelson "Butch" Henry Jr, Warren (Shorty), and Robert (Bobby). He also joins in rest his sisters-in-law, Carol, Delores, and Edna, brother-in-law Clifton (T Boy), and nephew Robert Breaux Jr.

The family will receive guest at Johnson Funeral Home of Sulphur on Wednesday, November 11, 2026, beginning at 5:00 PM until 8 PM. A Cursillo Rosary will be at 6:45 on Wednesday. A Mass will be celebrated at Immaculate Conception Catholic Church in Sulphur on November 12, 2026, at 11:00 AM.

In lieu of flowers, the family encourages donations to Tunnels to Towers or Wounded Warriors, honoring Bradley's spirit of service and love for his country. The family extends heartfelt gratitude to High Hope Care Center, Harbor Hospice, caregivers DeAnn Collins, and long-time friends Percy and Gail Sweeten for their compassionate care.

Bradley Joseph Breaux will be remembered for his love, generosity, and the joy he brought to all those who knew him. May he rest in peace.
