Rush was much more than a brother-in-law to me. I’ll never forget our times together hunting, fishing, and just enjoying being around each other with all of the family while enjoying your Mom’s and Pam’s desserts. Sorry I almost made you freeze on that one fishing trip, but we were catching fish! Well, at least one of us was. Lol. Rush leaves behind a legacy of dignity, professionalism, and love. I will miss you my brother.

Rush, we didn't get to spend a lot of time with you, but you were a really nice man. We know your Laura really loved you, and enjoyed all of the time you got to spend together, riding the motorcycle and going to Branson, among other things. We will miss you. We will watch over Laura and the cats. - Jeanne Bobo and Kadyn Prater-Bobo
