An avid LSU football fan, running close behind would be the Avoyelles Mustangs where he loved announcing play by plays with his brother Chad while his brother Andy led the team as the head coach. He spent his off time hunting in Oklahoma, fishing with his buddy Mike, and making it down to his mom’s house for some of her famous Swiss steak and Mississippi Mud cake, both his favorites. Boomer loved good Cajun cuisine, his children, and being the life of the party. He left this earth surrounded by loving friends and family and will be missed by many friends, family, and listeners.
