Elijah Brackett Obituary
Bubba was born October 29, 2006, in Calhoun, Georgia. He was preceded in death by his grandfathers, Michael Lumpkin and Danny Evans.
Bubba grew up in Dalton, Georgia, and attended Alabama Connection Academy. He had a true passion for anything with an engine and was known for his love of automobiles. Bubba worked as an auto mechanic and spent countless hours doing what he loved most-tinkering with old cars, turning wrenches, and bringing vehicles back to life. Whether he was under the hood, talking about cars, or helping someone fix a problem, Bubba was happiest when he was working with automobiles.
