Name: Weed Corley Fish Parkcrest
Address: Austin, TX

Broadus and Ruth Ann took my family under their wing when we first moved to Austin in 1973. They came over to welcome us and bring us a baby gift for our newborn son. Dwain was embarking on a Court Reporting career and  Broadus gave him work which put food on our table that first year. We had so many fun times at the Lake skiing and going to Willie Nelson concerts and just many great memories.  What a one of a kind man and lawyer! I will never forget him and how he helped our boys find direction as they grew up. They admired him so much. He will be missed.
I remember once when I needed some legal help. He knew I did not have funds for a lawyer such as him, but I needed him and he helped me and just told me to bring a pecan pie and that was all he needed. So, I found the best one in Austin, TX and took it to his office. 

Broadus was a very prominent Austin attorney when I first started practicing law here many years ago.  He reached out to me early on, sn served as a mentor and role model  H Was a tremendous help to me, and I will always remember.


Never did I hear a bad thing said and only engaging and kind things said about him...



Wow- One of 200 law clerks (one of a very few publicly identified Republicans).  Sometime janitor for office.  1 time Client. Co-Counsel and occassional opposing counsel.  He was a mentor for all of it.   Many lessons learned from this West Texas giant.  What a life well lived.  We will miss you here.

Dear Ruth Ann,  I am so saddened to hear of Broadus’ passing. Having known and loved your family for 46 years, enjoying every Christmas card, I will truly miss seeing his amazing smile and the omnipresent twinkle in his eyes. If the world had more people like Broadus, filled with integrity, humor and grace, it would be closer to heaven than to earth. My prayers are with you and your family.  Sending love,  Loyce

Broadus was a class act and I was fortunate to have gotten to know him, even though the circumstances were challenging. He should be a role model for other attorneys to emulate. Our thoughts and prayers are with the family.

Paul and I are so sorry to hear of the loss of this remarkable man.  We each knew him for years in different ways.  Bless the family with comfort and Grace. -Tricia and Paul Davis

It is with great sadness that we send this note.   Broadus was such a caring man with a wit that made everyone he knew happy.   His ability to meet legal challenges with great grace made him the extra special lawyer and man he was.  He will be sorely missed!


Ruth Ann:  So sorry for your and your families loss.  Please know Amy and I are thinking of you and you are in our prayers.  Broadus was a remarkable man, lawyer and friend.   I will treasure forever our meetings at Cisco Bakery for breakfast when I might be in Austin and his many stories.  May your pain be short and your loving memories of Broadus be a treasure forever.  All our best Amy and Marc Schwartz   

I treasure the wonderful memories of Academy travels with Ruth Ann and Broadus. Broadus’s fabulous career began in West Texas and his superb lawyering brought help to many families..what a special gentleman..he will be sorely missed

We both are thinking of you and your family at this time.  Broadus was a wonderful, brilliant friend and we will always remember all the good times we had with y’all.l  What good times at University of Texas football games and Academy  gatherings.  What entertaining stories Broadus told us when we all were flying to some of these good times.   He was a terrific lawyer, a great Longhorn and beloved friend.  
      All our love to you  Ruth Ann and your family, Carole and Ronny Krist

Ruth Ann,  and family,
I'm so saddened to hear of your ... of our... loss.  But with his memory, I am also grateful, to have been in his midst/"family".
He? the proverbial:  "life well lived" -- and so full of love and service and, yes, humor!  Our first IATL international trip was Russia, when Broadus defied all medical reason to attend -- and, because it was summer, we included our young children.  That trip meant soooo much to all of us!  To Joe and I?-- the welcome and camaraderie.  But to our kids?! -- the exposure to such fine people/adults was priceless!! -- they were welcomed by you and Broadus with an embrace that they recall today (now 32 and 36!)  [And RuthAnn, the Viking horn helmet lives on with my grand/d! -- Kyle's daughter, almost 3]   You taught us well, Broadus -- how to be? our best!  A hero amongst us.  
Big hugs to all who mourn his passing.   x0x0  (joanne)

The Riviere Family adored Broadus and the Spivey Family. Our thoughts and prayers are with you guys. Rob and Irene. 

My deepest sympathy to Ruth Ann and the entire Spivey family and everyone who loved him, which pretty much consists of everyone who knew him. Broadus still seems way to young to be gone. He was a person filled with compassion and empathy for those that needed him. To him the practice of law was a calling. He was loyal and kind. I don't know much you can say beyond that except that he was a brilliant lawyer and a mentor of infinite charm and wit. He is one of those people who really mattered and there aren't many of those around. Rest in Peace my good friend. 

Ruth Ann and Family, Dick and I are so sorry to hear about Broadus.    He was always the gentleman and the flirt.  Oh how we loved that about him.  He had such an exemplary career, as a mentor and a barrister.  He showed great judgement in everything especially when he chose you as his wife.  You and Broadus were always the reason that we looked forward to the IATL trips and meetings.
Lots of hugs and kisses to you.  Sue and Dick Burbidge


I had the unique opportunity to develop a relationship with Broadus as a client, an employee (law clerk) and as a practicing attorney.  I first met Broadus in 1995 when he represented me.  Then I worked for him in 2004-2005 while in law school.  He continued to be a mentor to me in my practice over the years.  
Despite Broadus' great legal accomplishments, I learned very early that he was an even better person.  Compassionate.  Caring. Vested.  Always willing to help no matter how busy he was.  He never let his legal success change who he was...he was West Texas to the core.  Right down to the saddle in his office and the boots on his feet.  

My prayers and blessings for The family. We had many fun evenings with Broadus during our travels with the IATL.
