Bobby was so loved as a husband and father, as well as a hearty friend and trusted mechanic throughout his life in Shreveport. He was born in Shreveport to Patricia Ann and Bobby Clyde Brawley, Sr. Bobby was a mechanic from the time he grew up working on cars with his grandfather, and since 1990 has been a beloved, successful business owner of Brawley’s Auto Repair. He married his best friend and co-owner Joani Peters Brawley in April of 1980.

Bobby was preceded in death by his father, Bobby, Sr. He is survived by his wife of 37 years, Joani; his children, Bobby, III, Alice, and Jesse; his granddaughter, Ella, her mother, Alania, and her brother, Mayson; his mother, Patricia, and stepfather, Marvin; and his sister, Debbie, and brother, Jay.

Did he look like a flower man? Instead of wasting money, Bobby would rather you donate to Woody’s Home for Veterans, a place to call home for homeless veterans locally. Donations can be made online at wh4v.com.
