Sean Michael

Roussel

Sean Michael Roussel, beloved son of Danny and Susan Brignac Roussel passed away peacefully and unexpectedly on Friday, May 1, 2026 at the age of 46.

From the very beginning, Sean brought a unique light and joy into the lives of those around him. Living with a spinal cord injury at birth, he faced the world with a strength and spirit that inspired everyone who knew him. Sean graduated from Nicholls State University and was employed by the St. James Parish School Board until he could no longer work due to health issues.

Sean loved playing video games, collecting Sci-Fi action figures, going to Disney World, watching WWE and attending LSU football and baseball games with his dad. Most of all he loved people. His wit, kindness and smile will be greatly missed.

He shared a special bond with his family who were his greatest source of love and support.He is survived by his parents Danny and Susan Roussel, his sister and brother-in-law Jennifer (Roussel) and Eric Pizzalato, his godchild Lauren Pizzalato, his niece Claire and nephews Cade and Luke Pizzalato and other loved ones. In addition, Sean was blessed with some truly special friends and cousins: Ryan J, Travis, Cullen, Denise, Aimee, Marc and Jeffrey. Each of them carries forward the love and spirit he gave so freely. Though his time with us was far too short, his impact on all who knew him will last a lifetime. There is no word, phrase, paragraph, page, book or volume that can describe the love his family had for Sean or he for his family.

He was preceded in death by his maternal grandparents, Donald and Odile Brignac and paternal grandparents, Morgan and Solange Roussel/Faucheux and Pat Faucheux.

Relatives and friends are invited to attend the Visitation and Funeral Mass at St. Joseph Catholic Church, 2130 Rectory St., Paulina, LA, on Friday, May 8, 2026; Visitation at the church from 9:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m. followed by a Funeral Mass at 11:00 a.m. Interment in St. Joseph Mausoleum, Paulina, LA.
