I don't normally Google people but Bobby wasn't a normal person. I knew him as a friend and schoolmate back in the 70's and I just wanted to see what he was up to. I am so terribly sad to find he'd gone before I had a opportunity to say what a great person he was. I haven't seen him in over 40 years but he was that kind of guy. Memorable. Larger than life and an amazing spirit. Please accept my sympathies. If you happen to see this and want to send a note, I left my email address.

Bobby today we sent another one of our loved ones home to be with our lord Jesus christ. Again its breaks our heart to let him go . But we all know that he has had his share of suffering here on earth, So God called him home.
Sweet Bobby keep a close eye on him and enjoy showing him around Heaven! Your spirits here will always be felt.
Your Mom is doing alright she talks with God every day. Telling him how much she loves and misses her baby boy.

To Jackie, and Juanita,
Bobby D. will live on spiritly forever in our hearts.
Physically he will live on in his sons and daughters...
Bobby Jr.Chance, Taylor,Carlee. Their children and future children.
Sweet to think about , his life and blood just keeps flowing!

My sweet Bobby, I have been trying to write this since you passed. My heart refuses to accept this , but my mind knows its true. I feel as if someone in turning a knife inside my heart. My heart is simply breaking!
Then I remember...
By now you are in the ever-lasting light. All your pain and grief are over. We know you are happy and at peace forever. I can close my eyes and see your smiling face. Realizing this is the only thing that gets us through the day.

Your family will never be the same. There will always be this empty spot in our hearts. Yesterday....I LOOKED ALL DAY FOR YOU. Everytime I turned around, or someone came up behind me, I thought of you ! All the hugs, laughs, smiles, talks , we have had.We will take you along with us to all the happenings in our lives. The weddings , births,graduations, family renunion, all the things you loved . You will be right there with us always! We were so blessed to have had you in our lives for even a short time. I am so saddened by all the things that we should have done or could have done , but never did. I will be there for your mother (Juanita) wife (Jackie) the way you have been there for me. You loved so easly, asked nothing in exchange!

Bobby , give mom and dad a great be Bobby hug for me, and tell them how much we miss and love you both, a loving hello to my dear brother Clifford .
I know the three of you will enjoy your front row seats, watching the buckeyes play in September. I will be watching and thinking of you.



Until we meet again, I HOLD YOU IN MY HEART. Love you through Eternity, Love , Aunt Joann

There is nothing like the loss of a child. We always expect to pass on before our children. And the loss of a father to his children is hard to understand. It is hard to understand why , with so much time to be spent with family and friends. We just have to dwell on the good times that were had and be thankful for them.

Bobby Daryl you will be missed. Especially by your Father, my Uncle Robert Barham, I am so sorry for your family....although I did not know all of them. I called your Dad on Father's Day and he told me you had called as well as Timmy, Jason & Melissa. He is very proud of all of you. My father, Troy Barham, is Bobby Daryl's dad's brother (died 1981). If any of Bobby Daryl's family would like to get in touch with me
I will welcome them and love to hear from them.
