Brandon Michael Maturin, a kind and compassionate man with a spirit filled with music, passed away Wednesday, May 27, 2020 at the young age of 35.
Brandon was born July 28, 1984 in New Iberia to Derk James Maturin and Tammy Marie Fremin. From an early age, Brandon showed an interest in music and playing instruments. His father was an accomplished musician of many instruments and Brandon picked up that same enthusiasm. Before long, he was playing guitar, drums, saxophone, keyboards and other instruments and it was clear that he was a natural. He formerly played with his band “My God Reigns” sharing uplifting music, and was most proud of the song he and his father wrote and played together. Above all, Brandon loved his children and family and cherished every moment spent with them. Rest well Brandon, for you have earned your heavenly reward.
Those left to cherish his memory are his children, Gavin, Gabrielle and Grace Stevens; his father, Derk James Maturin (Dawn); his mother, Tammy Fremin; his sister, Haley Pendley (Bradley); paternal grandparents, Judy and Alvin “Motch” Maturin; maternal grandfather, John E. Broussard (Gloria); his best friend since childhood, Ellis Labit; aunts and uncles, Cynthia Viator, Karlina Rosella, Joachim Fremin, Christy LaBry and Gina Daigle; and a host of cousins.
He was preceded in death by his maternal grandparents, Richard and Lois Broussard Fremin; and his great grandparents, Rose and Oswald Migues and Evelie and Wiltz Maturin.
