He was a hard worker all of his life, and always stayed on the go. Rudy was a one-of-a-kind character that loved to share his life stories. He was a practical jokester who got a kick out of telling jokes and getting a reaction out of people. He was very health conscience and worked out seven days a week. Rudy loved to fish, bar-be-que and spend time with his family. He especially loved watching Disney movies with his grandkids. Rudy was larger than life, and will be deeply missed. Rudy is survived by daughters, Heidi Frederick and wife Rebecca of Erath, and Brandy Broussard and husband Pete of New Iberia; sisters, Brenda Pontiff and husband Murphy of Franklin, Trudy Vidrine and husband Blaine of New Roads, Debbie May and husband Kenneth of New Iberia, and Bonnie Daigle and husband David of Loreauville; grandchildren, Lacie Dunn, Blake Holliday, Kalyn Stephen, Alaina Stephen, Victoria Broussard, Kennedi Broussard, and Pearson Broussard; and great-grandchildren, Slade Ladnier, Ellie Dunn, Sawyer Dunn, and Azala Duhon. He was preceded in death by his parents, Camille and Vera Lee Cormier; brother, John Henry Christensen; and a sister, Millie Christensen. Pellerin Funeral Home, 502 Jefferson Terrace Blvd., New Iberia, LA 70560, (337-365-3331) is in charge of arrangements.
