Bobby L. Conrad, age 74, passed away May, 25th, 2025. He was "Uncle Bob" to many and the best dad and grandfather that one could hope for. He helped countless people with untold numbers of tasks and repairs. He could fix anything he set his mind to. No words can express how much he was loved or how much he is missed. Bob was in the United States Army and served in the Vietnam War. He was an air compressor mechanic who retired from Dearing Air Compressor. Bob loved to hunt, fish, and provide for his family.


Bob was preceded in death by his parents, Grover and Rose Conrad (Claypool); sisters, Jean Freeman, Lorena Lowery, Ruby Lilly, Barbara Layfield, Edna Conrad, Linda Peppard; brothers, Jerry and Jay Conrad. Bob is survived by his former wife Sara (Archer) Overdorf and their children, Bridget (Shayne) Gray, Ryan Conrad, and Christina (Erik) Keenan; grandchildren Ryan Conrad II, Alexander Keenan and Aidan Keenan; sisters, Helen Stoddard and Tina (Adam) Evans; brothers Ralph (Darlene) and Randall (Lona) Conrad. Uncle Bob has many nieces, nephews, and family friends.
