I am very grateful that I was allowed to get to know B Real. I always called him by B Real because he always kept it real. I worked with B Real at Metro Government for about five years. Although I did not know him long, it seemed like we had known each other for many years. He was a champion for fairness, equality and equity within the workplace as well as within this community. I loved his passion, his kind spirit and his infectious smile. He will be missed but not forgotten.

Words can NOT begin to express how deeply saddened & heartbroken our entire family is over the loss of Bobby "DJ B-Real". I will forever miss my big cousin!! The Love he had for his family (all of us) was truly beyond measure (past the moon). Never would I have imagined he'd not be here with us being the DJ (something he absolutely LOVED to do) when the family got together. I know he's smiling down on us though & we'll see each other again one day so for everyone who stops by to leave a special message... Please keep my Aunt Barbara, Uncle Robert, Bobby's children: Brandon, Myia, Lesley, Trey & their children, my cousin Marletta & her family in your thoughts & prayers during this difficult time. We ALL Love & miss you very much Bobby, Forever we'll keep your memory in our hearts!!! RIH Big Cuz!!!

To The Family: Bobby "B Real"was just that Real. A really nice, fun, friendly and peaceful guy with an infectious smile. I've never not seen a smile on his face in all the years I've known him. Always willing to help ANYONE" I've known Bobby since our adolescent days when he played youth Football and I cheered. He LOVED AND BREATHED the Pittsburgh Steelers and I often joked with him about them being "Weak". Bobby's passion for music earned him the spot on live radio. I remember all the parties at various venues in the city on the 80/ 90's. Where he " ROCKED" the house! Later in life we became Family through his sister's marriage and that drew us even closer!!. Bobby was Loved by EVERYONE and He LOVED Everyone! Especially for his children and Grandchildren and Family! Hold to his memories and Keep his Legacy of Love for Everyone Alive!! Keep your Hands in God's hands. He will see through your difficult days. He is now mixing Beats for the King! AWESOME!!! Bobby will forever be missed and shining down on all his Family and Friends!! RIH DJ B Real! A LOUISVILLE LEGEND!
