Brodie Bourgeois Died: Dutchtown High School Mourns on the Unexpected Death of His Bright Student

The Dutchtown High School community and the town of Dutchtown, Louisiana, are mourning the unexpected loss of a cherished student, athlete, and artist, Brodie John Bourgeois. Brodie passed away on December 5, 2023. His death has left his family, friends, and the entire community in a state of deep sorrow.

Brodie was a senior at Dutchtown High School and a proud member of the school’s band, which recently received the distinguished honor of “2023 Showcase Grand Champions”. He was also an active participant in the Robotics club and 4-H. Known for his wide array of talents, Brodie excelled in archery, robotics and was a part of the Gifted and Talented Program for both Art and Music.

As a musician, Brodie had achieved numerous honors; including 2023 SLU Honor Band, 2023 LMEA All State and selection to Baton Rouge Youth Orchestra. His passion for art and music was evident from an early age, and he often spent his free time playing various musical instruments, composing original music pieces, and engaging in online games with friends.

Beyond his academic and artistic pursuits, Brodie was known for his kind heart and his love for his large family and circle of friends. He is survived by his parents Shelley Babin Bourgeois and Aaron John Bourgeois, and his sister Bailey Jude Bourgeois, along with many other loving relatives.

In a touching act of generosity, the Bourgeois family has announced that Brodie has given the most precious gift anyone could give – the gift of life through organ donation. His final act serves as a testament to his selfless nature and his commitment to helping others.
