Our Lord and Savior called home our father, grandfather and great grandfather, Bobby Kemp on March 17, 2021. Born August 16, 1932 in Florala to Charlie Kemp and Hazel Davis Kemp, he grew up in Paxton and was a dedicated community leader. He spent countless hours volunteering his time to his community through service as a city council member for 45 years, working with the fire department and EMT. Bobby was a life long member of the Paxton Assembly of God Church and that is also the place he met his wife Doris. Although constantly busy being actively involved in his church and community, nothing was more important than spending time with his family. Bobby was loved by so many because he gave love to so many. He is dearly missed by his loved ones who celebrate the fact that he is at peace with his Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. He was preceded in death by wife, Doris W Kemp; father, Charlie Kemp; mother, Hazel Davis Kemp; brothers, Jimmy Kemp and Billy Kemp; sister, Anita Nobles.
He is survived by son, Bobby C Kemp and wife Gail, daughters, Brenda C Sanders and husband Rick, Roberta W Schofield and husband Fred, Patsy K Warshefskie and husband Ed and Jackie C Norris and husband Jerry, sister, Carma Dollar and husband Fred, numerous grand and great grandchildren. He loved being their "PaPa".

Mr. Bobby Kemp Sr. was a great man. He was my dad's friend and a friend to me. Mr. Kemp Sr. served his the community of Paxton and Walton County FL proudly. I enjoyed hearing his voice over the radio when he would call his particular medic for service. He never always kept it together I told me me dad the that man has his stuff together. Mr. Bobby Kemp Jr and family I know you will miss him but at least you know this is not not the last time you will see you see him. You will see him again...
