Mr. Bolling Powell Starke, Jr., of Montgomery, Alabama, died on Monday, October 19, 2020. Without question, Bo Starke was a man of love, loyalty and immense integrity. He had a generous spirit and a larger than life personality with a great smile and laugh to go along with it. He never met a stranger and always had a great story to tell you each time you would see him. He was an avid outdoorsman, and he was deeply devoted to the Alabama Wildlife Federation and supporting the programs teaching children the beauty of nature. He believed in doing and going after the things that made him happy. He was also very involved in many local charitable and civic activities. He was a true believer of living life to the fullest and brought happiness to everyone who knew him.
He was a great family man and a loving father. He does not leave us behind because his heart and spirit will always be with his wife of 60 years, Sheila Rogers Starke, his son, Bolling Powell Starke, III; his daughter, Elizabeth Starke Clements and her husband, Jack Chester Clements III; and his sister, Harriet Starke Bryan. He will always be looking over his eight grandchildren, Julia Ann Starke, Lundy Starke Williams, Bolling Powell Starke, IV, Katharine Wilson Starke, Mary Neill Starke, William Rogers Clements, Jack Chester Clements, IV, Elizabeth Starke Clements, and one great-grandchild, Steadman Powell Williams.
