Shreveport, LA - Harvey Broyles, Shreveport oilman and philanthropist, died on April 8, 1992 following a lengthy illness. He was 75.
Services will be held at 2:00 p.m., Friday, April 10, 1992 at Brown Memorial Chapel, Centenary College, under the direction of Rose-Neath Funeral Home. Officiating will be the Rev. Dr. Donald A. Webb, President Emeritus of Centenary College, assisted by Dr. Lynn Jones, pastor of Highland Baptist Church. Visitation will be held at the Marshall Street Chapel from 6:00-8:00 p.m., Thursday. Burial will be at Forest Park.
Broyles, a native of Winnfield, lived in Shreveport most of his life; after graduating from Centenary College and L.S.U. Law School he practiced law and engaged successfully in the oil and gas business since 1938, except for three years of service in the U.S. Navy in World War II, and a six year term as Louisiana Public Service Commissioner. He was a member of Highland Baptist Church, the Louisiana Bar Association since 1938, served on the Board of Directors at both Live Oak and the Shreveport Petroleum Club, the Board of Trustees and Executive Committee of Centenary College and the Advisory Board of the Salvation Army. He dedicated himself to the substantial support of many local causes, including his church, the Salvation Army and the Centenary College Choir.
But it was Centenary College that he directed his main personal devotion and resources, establishing scholarships, sustaining vital operating budgets, leading financial campaigns (including two terms of Chairman of the Great Teachers/Scholars Drive, and most recently Co-Chairing the "Fulfill the Vision" Campaign.) His encouragement enabled fifteen other members of the Broyles family to attend Centenary College. In 1980 he was elected to the Centenary Hall of Fame, the highest honor an alumnus can achieve.
He was preceded in death by his father and mother, Anderson and Mattie Allen Broyles, and his brother Joseph E. Broyles. He is survived by his beloved wife, Alberta Erskine Broyles; sons Allen Broyles of Plano, Tx., and John Broyles and daughter Joyce Broyles Hawkins of Shreveport, La.; eight grandchildren, Matthew, Mark and Joel Broyles; Beth, Melanie and Rebecca Broyles; Diana and Leslie Hawkins; sister, Eilyeen Broyles Livingston; brothers, the Hon. Theodore Ralph Broyles and Dr. William H. Broyles; and a host of nieces and nephews.
The family would like to express a special thanks to Schumpert Hospice for their loving care and support. Pallbearers will be Chris Franks, Perry G. Holloway, Bob Brammer, Hoyt Yokem, Mike Garner, John franks, Captain Will Cundiff, Thomas K. Glenn, Art Sour and Herschel Downs. Honorary pallbearers will be members of the Board of Trustees of Centenary College and the Advisory Board of the Salvation Army.
The family suggests that memorials be made to Centenary College Choir, the Salvation Army, or the charity of the donor's choice.
