Robert (Bobby) Lee Booth Jr. passed away on September 28 th, 2020 at the age of 42. He was born in Newport on January 10 th, 1978 to Diane Davio Ross and Robert L. Booth Sr. Bobby graduated from North Country High School in 1996 and soon after enlisted in the United States Army. He proudly served for 17 years. During his years of service, he traveled around the world and even ended up at Ft. Hood alongside his sister Cathy where she was also serving.
Besides the military, Bobby had many passions. He loved hunting, fishing, hiking, kayaking, gold panning and grilling (burning food was his specialty). Bobby was also a Free Mason and Shriner. He had the most infectious laugh and smile. He was the first person to lend a hand or ear to anyone in need. He was the friend you always wanted to have. Unfortunately, he left us after only 42 years.
Above all his biggest joy in life were his children. The day he became a father for the first time was the proudest moment in his life. He went on to have 4 more children until he finally got the son, he always wanted to complete his family. His love for his children was apparent through all of the sporting activities, game nights, outdoor adventures, bonfires and so much more.
He is survived by his 4 daughters Bailee, Elizabeth, Morgan, Juliea, and his son William and the mother of his children Michelle. His mother Diane Ross and Step Father Daniel Ross of Newport, his father Robert Booth Sr and his wife Rachel of Irasburg. His sister Cathy Williams, her husband Dave Williams, his nephew Christopher and niece Andrea and her husband Evann Craig of PA. He was affectionately known to them as Uncle Bebob. He also leaves behind 2 half- brothers Michael Booth and his wife Jessica of Irasburg, Shawn Booth and his wife Renee of Irasburg. He will be greatly missed by his step siblings that he grew up with: David Ross and his wife Holly of North Troy, Heidi Broe and her husband Daniel of Derby Line, Heather Piette and her husband JD of Colchester and several aunts, uncles, nieces and nephews.
