Sammy Charles Broadway

Sammy Charles Broadway passed away on the evening of Friday, March 13, 2026. Born on January 13, 1946, in Clarksville, Texas, he was raised in Detroit, Texas, where he attended Detroit ISD. At the age of 19, on November 17, 1965, Sammy was drafted into the United States Army. He served two tours in Vietnam with the 101st Airborne Division and was honorably discharged after completing his service.

After returning home, Sammy settled in Grand Prairie, Texas, where he met the love of his life, Trudy. In 1982, the couple returned to Detroit, Texas, and made their home there for the rest of their years together. Sammy had a deep love for the outdoors and found great joy in camping, fishing along quiet creek banks, and hunting. Some of his most cherished memories were made at deer camp and by the lake with his family. He was a proud member of the Elks Lodge and later rekindled his lifelong interest in classic cars as a member of the American Falcon Club.

Sammy is survived by his beloved wife, Trudy Broadway; his brother, James “Bobby” Robert Broadway; his daughter, Shellie Stephens; his grandchildren, Heather Price and Tyler Price; and his great-grandchildren, McKynzie Franks, Madilynn Spoonemore, Amelia Cashion, Nolan Cashion, and Kash Price.
