Bobby Allen Thames

Born on the 31st day of July in 1942, Bobby Allen Thames graced this world with his presence. It was on August 20th of this year that he breathed his last earthly breath and took a deep and healthy inhale into his eternal home. Whole again. He has gone to meet his maker, his Lord, his Savior. In the 29,605 days he was a blessing to multitudes.

Transportation manager, head football coach, President of Dixie Youth Baseball, youth group leader, “Father of the Year”, Sunday school teacher, deacon, elder, staff sergeant, Daddy Bob and Poppa to many, Bob wore many hats…. including houndstooth. He impacted the lives of family, friends, his church and his community.

While Bob was a blessing to others, his greatest blessings were his grandchildren second in line to the saving grace and forgiveness of Jesus Christ.
