Matthew means "Gift of God," and we gave him that middle name because that is truly what he was.
Our beloved son, William Matthew Acosta, died Sunday in New Orleans. He is now at peace in the loving arms of Jesus Christ. William was in his third year at LSU, studying history and education. He was an employee of Crispy Catch and a recent graduate of Palmetto Addiction Recovery Center in Rayville.

Acosta, Jr. and Mary Broussard Acosta; his grandmothers, Margaret Hebert Sarradet Acosta and Mary Guillot Broussard; and a devoted girlfriend, Julie Liu.

Broussard, Jr., Jeanne Broussard, Laura and Ken Duhe, Donna Broussard, Alex and Pam Broussard, Maurice Broussard, Jane Broussard and Bill Clarke, Ella Broussard, Martin Broussard and Gabrielle Broussard; and numerous cousins.

Broussard, Sr. William was a gentle soul who loved all animals, especially his beagle "Charger." He graduated from Redemptorist High School in 2012.
