The life of the man’s destiny was fulfilled and divine purpose accomplished.

On Monday, March 30, 2015, the breath of God blew upon the earth; a man became a living soul. As God exhaled on October 25, 1936, He gave life to Wilbert Broaden, Sr. He was born to the late Mr. William Broaden, Sr. and Mrs. Lillar Davis Broaden. Twelve (12) of his siblings preceded him in death.
 

Wilbert was born and resided in Union Springs, AL. When he was a child, he was baptized and joined Second Baptist Church in the Thompson Community. After sixty (60) years of dedicated service, Wilbert retired from Briarhill Farm where he worked as a Rancher.
