Bobby Redmon
September 17, 1954 — June 7, 2019
Bobby Redmon was born September 17, 1954 in Selmer, TN the son of the late Franklin Delano and Billie Sue Murry Redmon.
He was united in marriage to Tracy Hopkins on August 6, 1977.
Bobby was a truck driver for over 30 years. In 1993, he left driving and took over managing R&R Truck Sales in Bethel Springs, Tennessee. He loved trucks, go-cart racing with his girls, motorcycles, horses, and corvettes. Due to his health, Bobby had to retire from working and driving. His blindness did not effect his sense of direction, or his need for a fast car. He was probably the only blind man to ever buy a '76 corvette just by touch and sound.
Bobby enjoyed making people laugh and always had a joke. His sense of humor never diminshed even as his health declined. Laughter was his medicine and he was happy to share. He was a member of Bethel Springs Presbyterian Church and had served as an elder. In most recent years, he attended Forty Forks Baptist church.
Bobby loved his family and friends. One of the greatest joys has been his granddaughter, Darby. She has been his ray of sunshine for the past fifteen years. Most recently, he gained four grandchildren and loved them dearly.
Mr. Redmon departed this life on June 7, 2019 in Corinth, Mississippi at the age of 64 Years, 8 Months, 21 Days. He is survived by his wife of 41 years, Tracy Redmon of Selmer, TN; two daughters, Brooke Redmon and fiance Brandon Pipkins of Bethel Springs, TN, Kirby Redmon Jaco and husband Dustin of Bethel Springs, TN; five grandchildren, Darby Benton, Matthew, Abby, Iyan, and Bella Jaco; two sisters, Linda Russell and husband Randy of Bethel Springs, TN, Shelia Chapman and husband Alan of Decatur, AL; brother, Barry Redmon and wife Connie of Selmer, TN; mother-in-law, Donna Hopkins of Guys, TN; sister-in-law, Vikki Holt and husband Jere of Nashville, TN; brothers-in-law, Anthony Hopkins and wife Nancy of Guys, TN, Marty Hopkins and wife Kelly of Madison, MS; and a host of extended family and friends.
In addition to his parents, Mr. Redmon was preceded in death by an infant sister; father-in-law, Billy Hopkins.
