Bobby Ray Reavis

In loving memory of our dear Bobby Ray Reavis, a true Texan born on February 12, 1938, in Lampasas, Texas. He was the youngest of his lively siblings - Curtis Horace, Leonard Barton, and Hillery Dewayne Reavis. Bobby was a rock in our family, and although he has now reunited with his loved ones, we still hold him close in our hearts. He leaves behind a nephew, several nieces, and cousins who will forever cherish the memories they shared with him. Bobby passed away on May 31, 2023, leaving a void that can never be filled.
We are forever grateful for the unwavering support and care given to Bobby by his beloved friends, Ken Cooney, and Joe Torres, during his final days. Their presence brought comfort and love to Bobby when he needed it the most.
Join us as we gather to celebrate Bobby's life at the Tobey Cemetery located at 600 County Road 221, Kempner, TX 76539, on Friday, June 9, at 11 AM. Let's come together as family, friends, and cousins to pay tribute to our dear Bobby, with those who held a special place in his heart serving as pallbearers.
Bobby's educational journey took him through Oakalla and Briggs schools, and he proudly graduated from Briggs High School in 1955. He continued his quest for knowledge at Jackson Business College in Lampasas. The skills he acquired there led him to a fulfilling career at Fort Hood, where he dedicated 32 years of his life. In 1988, he bid farewell to his colleagues, embarking on a well-deserved retirement.
Bobby's faith was an integral part of his life, and he found solace and community at Oakalla United Methodist Church. He served as a trustee and treasurer, embodying the values of his faith. Bobby was also an esteemed member of the Tobey Cemetery Association, where he took pride in his role as treasurer. Additionally, he wholeheartedly embraced the responsibility of managing the funds of the Reavis Cousins Reunion Association, leaving a lasting impact on their activities.
Bobby Ray Reavis was a beacon of love, warmth, and unwavering dedication to his family and friends. As we bid farewell to our beloved Bobby, we carry his love with us, cherishing the memories he bestowed upon us. May his soul find eternal peace, knowing that he was deeply loved and will be sorely missed.
