“Dee” Bobo was a shining light in the lives of all who had the privilege of knowing him. His journey on this earth was one marked by love, compassion, and unwavering faith in God. His passing has left a void in the hearts of his family, friends, and many more whose lives were touched by him. Dee will be remembered for the way he loved others and for the profound impact he had on the lives of those who had the pleasure of knowing him.

Those who knew Dee, also known as “GranDee,” will remember him for his infectious smile and overwhelming laughter, his deep-rooted faith in Jesus, and his unwavering commitment to spreading love and kindness to everyone he encountered. He had a rare gift for making others smile and laugh, leaving a lasting impact on all who crossed his path. As well as his passion for Boy Scouts of America, hunting, fishing, and collecting coins. He was highly active in Boy Scout Troop 911 of Center Point United Methodist Church with his bonus son Jeff Jaye. Dee’s grandson Samuel Garland is active in Troop 322 & 41 out of First Methodist Church of Hueytown and just received his Order of the Arrow Ordeal sash.

He played a profoundly transformative role in the lives of his grandchildren, generously imparting wisdom on life skills and nurturing each of their unique talents. He treasured every moment spent with them and was grateful for the opportunity to make a lasting impact. Blessed with 2 grandchildren, 2 bonus-grandchildren, honorary great-grandchild and first great-grandchild on the way, he also extended his love and care to many other children, embracing them as part of his extended family.

Dee was never scared to take on new opportunities and did everything with honesty and integrity. His strong values made him well liked by everyone, mostly due to his positive energy. His family adored him dearly and a host of others who shared in his joyful spirit.

He had incredible patience and always made time to help others. His legacy will continue forever reminding us that we control our attitudes. We can choose to live a life of meaningful acts of love and service, like Christ modeled for us.
