Don Briggs, former LOGA leader and ‘tireless’ advocate for oil and gas, dies at 82

by Adam Daigle | Acadiana business editor​ ​ ​

Good morning, Acadiana business news readers. Let's get down to the business. 

Don Briggs, whose five-decade career was punctuated with a quarter-century tenure as president of the Louisiana Oil and Gas Association, died Monday at his Lafayette home. He was 82. A cause of death was not given.

Friends and family remembered Briggs as an unwavering champion of the state’s oil and gas industry, through all of its ups and downs, and a cherished mentor and dear friend.

“I knew him through good times and bad. He never changed,” Badger Oil founder Paul Hilliard said.

Have a great day.
