Robert Edward "Bobby" Bell, age 70, of Macon, Georgia, passed away on August 29, 2025. He was born on May 14, 1955, in South Bend, Indiana, to the late Robert Ira Bell and Betty Jean (Young) Bell of Fitzgerald, Georgia.

Bobby grew up in Macon, where he attended Jessie Rice Elementary School and Willingham High School. In 1977, he began his career with Brown & Williamson Tobacco Corp. as a fabrication technician and later retired after many dedicated years of service.

On November 21, 1981, he married Terry Lynn Brown of Macon. Together they built a life filled with love and devotion. They are the proud parents of their son, Daniel Bell, who brought them immense joy.

A true outdoorsman, Bobby loved fishing and hunting-passions he enjoyed throughout his life.
