Jim Bob was born on July 10, 1948 in Waco, Texas to Joe Ann (Frazier) and John Edgar Broiles.

He retired from ABF Freight and was enjoying life as being an Uber Driver, as he loved meeting new people and learning about them on his many trips to both DFW and Austin Airports. Jim was a member of Cottonwood Baptist Church and enjoyed in the years past of singing in the choir. He enjoyed just getting in the car and driving to nowhere in particular. He loved the time he spent with showing and riding horses and taking his sister to all the horse shows. Jim loved his family and friends and would do anything for them. He was the best uncle ever to his nephew and niece.

He is preceded in death by his parents, John E. & Joe Ann Broiles. He is survived by his brother, Joe Broiles and wife, Linda; his sister, Lisa Magness and husband, Bryan; his nephew, Dustin Snyder and wife, Hope; and his niece, Ashley Snyder; and three great-nieces, Lillian, Madison, & Skylar; and two great-nephews, Tyler and Tanner.

Special thanks to all his friends, and Community Providence Hospice.

And his special fur baby companion, Shelby.
