Tommie was born on December 30, 1958. He was the epitome of a family man. He was known for his friendly demeanor, never having met a stranger, and had a unique ability to make friends wherever he went. An avid outdoorsman, he enjoyed hunting, fishing, and working in garden. Tommie was a great cook and loved sharing meals with his family and friends. He and his friends would gather on Thursdays for their "Top of the Hill" Lunch Group. One of his favorite past times was completing the daily crossword puzzles published in the newspaper.

Tommie was also the go-to guy for fixing things, always enjoyed in tinkering with various projects. His willingness to lend a hand and his genuine interest in connecting with others made him a cherished presence in the lives of many. Tommie dedicated his life to his family, and his love for them knew no bounds. He took tremendous joy in being a grandfather and cherished every moment spent with his grandchildren, making it a point to attend every event, rain or shine. He will truly be missed by all.

He is survived by his loving wife of 43 years, Melissa Noel Hebert; daughters, Britney H. Thibodeaux (Jonas) and Courtney H. Broussard (Matt); grandchildren, Joshua Hebert, Eleanor Thibodeaux, John-Hayes Broussard, Beau-Michael Broussard, Ruby Broussard, and Ryker Broussard; brothers, Rocky Hebert (Jill), Ricky Hebert (Kathleen), Chris Hebert, and Jimmy Hebert; sisters, Karen H.
