Broome

Robert Alton Broome, 61, of Butler, passed away Thursday, June 26, 2025, surrounded by his family.

Born April 18, 1964, in Aiken, S.C., he was the son of the late Ellis and Dorothy Driggers Broome.

Robert was a man who lived for his job and loved his family deeply. He worked for many years as a sweeper repairman and salesman, affectionately known as “Sweeper Bob.”

He leaves behind to cherish his memory, his loving wife, Donna Kessler Broome; his children, Robert Broome, Mark (Lee) Broome, Thomas (Alycia) Broome, Zachary Broome, Lucas Broome, Donald Broome and Matthew Broome; his five grandchildren; his brothers, Andy (Alicia) Broome and Randy (Pam) Broome; his sister, Tonya Turner; and father-in-law, Bill Kessler.
