Bobby grew up in Moss Bluff, Louisiana, and was a graduate of Sam Houston High School.

As a Counselor in Training at The Grove and Serenity Treatment Centers, and throughout his work helping those battling addiction, Bobby encouraged countless people as they worked toward healing and recovery. He was a mentor to many, not only to his sons, but to others who needed guidance, honesty, and hope.

Above all, Bobby loved his family. He adored his grandchildren and took great joy in the time he shared with them. His presence, personality, and love will be deeply missed by those who knew and loved him. Bobby’s life will be remembered for the people he helped, the family he loved, and the steady encouragement he offered to those who needed it most.
