Broderick Slaughter Sr.

Broderick Slaughter Sr., born on March 30, 1958, to Helen Slaughter and George Grover, passed peacefully, leaving behind a legacy built with his own two hands and a heart strong enough to hold an entire community. A proud graduate of Woodward High School, Broderick carved his own path in life-one made of hard work, sharp skill, and unwavering dedication.

Broderick was a true master of his crafts: a journeyman, carpenter, plumber, electrician, and mechanic-if it needed fixing, he could fix it. He wasn't just a "jack of all trades"; he was the one everyone called when the trades needed a master. There wasn't a sink he couldn't silence, an engine he couldn't coax, or a light he couldn't bring back to life. He took great pride in these gifts and shared them freely with anyone in need.

Broderick had a charm that could light up a room as easily as he could wire one. To the women in his life, he offered warmth, greeting them lovingly as his "soul sistas," and to the young men, he gifted a grin and a "Junebug." And true to his nature, he never let you leave without reminding you to "drive to arrive alive."

He is preceded in death by his beloved baby sister, Delores Maden. He is survived by his brother, Spencer Yohan Slaughter. Broderick leaves behind his children-Saria Slaughter, Broderick Slaughter Jr., and Kaleb Slaughter-as well as grandchildren, great-grandchildren, nieces, nephews, aunts, cousins, and devoted friends who will carry forward his resilience, humor, and love.

In the end, even though Broderick fixed just about everything, he also knew when it was time to rest his tools. But knowing him, he's probably already up there tightening a few bolts and greeting the angels with, "Hey soul sista… hey Junebug."
