Roy Louis Brun (born January 15, 1953) is a state First Judicial District Court judge in Shreveport in Caddo Parish in northwestern Louisiana, and a Republican former member of the Louisiana House of Representatives, a position which he filled from 1988 to 1997. Brun was considered to have been one of the most conservative members of the legislature during his nine years there.
Roy Louis Brun (pronounced BRUNN) was born in 1953 to Edwin Louis Brun (1925-2013), a native of Shreveport and pharmaceutical salesman, and the former Faye Hendrick (1927-2012), a native of Portland, Maine, and a history teacher and guidance counselor. The couple met at Union College, a Seventh-day Adventist institution in Lincoln, Nebraska.
During World War II, Edwin Brun was attached to a mobile field hospital in the Solomon Islands, serving in the battles of Guadalcanal and Bougainville in preparation for the Philippines Campaign. His mother worked at Rusheon Junior High School in Bossier City where she also supervised student teachers.
Edwin Brun became a science teacher and then counselor in Caddo Parish. The Bruns enjoyed traveling to add to their interests, from wildflowers to telescopes. Edwin Brun's obituary implies that their son, Roy, was born in Baton Rouge. The family settles in Shreveport in 1954, when Roy was one year old. The Bruns also had a daughter Sylvia (born 1956), who became a medical doctor.
