Branchaud, Gary “Brotherman”, a beloved father, husband, and friend, left us peacefully on January 8, 2025 at the age of 78. Gary’s life was characterized by his unwavering dedication to his family, his career, and his friends. His presence will be dearly missed by all who had the privilege of knowing him. Gary was known for his kindness, generosity, and deep love of music. In his early career, as a musician, Gary traveled the world with a number of country music artists. In his later years, he used his studio to share that love by creating and recording music for himself and countless others.
Preceded in death by his father, Paul Branchaud, Gary is survived by his loving spouse of 41 years, Janice Vogel Branchaud, and his children Scott Branchaud, Rosemary Branchaud and Michelle Donahoe (Nathan). He is also survived by his mother Margaret Branchaud, sisters, Judy Plantier and Sheryl Baird (Don), brother David Branchaud, 8 cherished grandchildren, 3 great grandchildren and a host of nieces and nephews.
A celebration of Gary’s life will be held on February 15, 2025 at Bond Memorial Chapel, in Mt. Juliet, where friends and family will gather to honor his memory and share their stories. Visitation will be from noon until 2:00 pm, with service at 2:00. In lieu of flowers, the family requests that donations be made to Music Neighbors (MusicNeighbors.org) in Gary’s honor, reflecting his commitment to helping others in the Nashville music community to reach their creative potential.
