Bobby was a graduate of Taylorsville High School and a lifelong resident of Taylorsville. He spent his early years farming before starting Maxwell Precast, where he worked as owner and operator for decades.

He was a devoted husband to his beloved wife, Drucilla Cox Maxwell. The two were married for nearly 60 years and shared a life rooted in faith, family, and hard work. Bobby was a long-time member of Bethel Crossroads Baptist Church.

Known for his love of conversation, Bobby never met a stranger and always had a story or advice to share. He enjoyed gardening, cheering on the Braves, eating lunch at Five Forks Grocery and driving his truck to make a tank delivery. Above all, Bobby cherished his role as a husband, father and “Pa” to his grandchildren and great-grandson. His steadfast strength, generous spirit, and dependable presence will be deeply missed.
