With hearts filled with grief and love, the family of Jacob Wayne Wallace, age 13, shares the heartbreaking news of his passing on Sunday, November 30, 2025. Jacob’s loss has deeply affected not only his family, but the entire Broussard community, where he was cherished as a bright, joyful, and kind young man.
A lifelong resident of Broussard, Jacob was an 8th grade student at Broussard Middle School, where he embraced life with enthusiasm and curiosity. He enjoyed wrestling on the school team, playing saxophone in the band, competing in video games, and spending time with the people he loved most. Jacob had a naturally hilarious personality—one that brought laughter to nearly any room he entered. His kindness, warmth, and ability to brighten someone’s day will forever be remembered by friends, teachers, and everyone fortunate enough to know him.
Jacob is survived by his devoted parents, Steven and Jessica Wallace, and his loving sister, Stella Wallace. He is also deeply missed by his grandmothers, Cindy Beaumont and Claudia Wallace; his aunts, Stacy Wallace, Amber Wallace, and Rachel Beaumont; his uncles, Scott Wallace and Bobby Beaumont; and his many cousins—Morgan Wallace, Alex Ross, Ava Moreau, Cody Wallace, William Wallace, Anthony Beaumont, and E.J. Beaumont—all of whom treasured Jacob dearly.
He now joins in eternal rest his maternal grandfather, Bob Beaumont, and his paternal grandfather, Donald Wallace, whose memories continue to be held close by the family.
Funeral services celebrating Jacob’s life will be held on Saturday, December 13, 2025, at 1:00 PM in Martin & Castille’s La Fleur de Lis Chapel in Lafayette. Pastor Chris Reis of Our Savior’s Church – Youngsville will officiate. Family and friends are invited to pay their respects at Martin & Castille Funeral Home – Southside on Friday, December 12, 2025, from 4:00 PM to 7:00 PM, and again on Saturday from 11:00 AM until the time of service.
During this profoundly difficult time, the Wallace family extends their heartfelt appreciation to the many friends, relatives, and community members who have surrounded them with love, prayers, and support. Their compassion has been a source of strength in these painful days.
Jacob Wayne Wallace will forever be remembered as a loving son, devoted brother, cherished grandson, and a joyful presence whose laughter and light touched every heart he encountered. May his memory be a blessing to all who knew and loved him.
