Robert Lee Odom, Sr.

He retired from the Columbus Consolidated Government as the supervisor of the Plumbing Department. He was an avid sports fan and loved watching professional wrestling, Braves baseball, and Falcons football; however, nothing held his heart more than the University of Alabama football. (ROLL TIDE!) Robert also loved fishing and rabbit hunting.

Robert was preceded in death by his loving parents, a sister, Rebecca Renee' George, and two sons, Robert Lee Odom, Jr., and Robert Chad Patterson.

He is survived by his two sons, Corey Lee Odom (Erin) and Derek Odom both of Modesto, California, by his brother, Rodney (Jane) Odom of Hartwell, Ga., a sister, Ronda Odom Broadwater (Doug) of Phenix City, a precious grandson, Bryce Odom of Modesto. He loved and was loved much by his nieces and nephews: Tami McLendon (Dennis) of Phenix City, Teresa Owenby (Tim) of Smiths, Russell Richards, Jr. (Nita) of Robinson, TX, Darrell Odom (Sally) of Smiths, Christi Broadwater Funderburk (Brad) of Seale, Kimberly Odom Norton (Chad) of Hartwell, Bo Broadwater (DaLin) of Sweden. He has several “grand” nieces and nephews that he also loved dearly.
